To LA - Christian Folin (right shot. 6' 3" 215)

To Minny - Derek Forbort (left shot. 6' 4" 220)

throw in conditional pick swaps contingent on NHL games played this season or re signing to balance out value.

both players aren't really in position to play people out of their jobs. change of scenery, fresh start hockey trade.

Minnesota has an abundance of left handed defenseman. No thank you.

what do you see as the wild's highest position of importance? I like the idea of Frolin on the Kings more than trying to move out LA's log jam of lefties to get him.

We need decent young-middle aged centers/right wingers. Folin doesn't have much value so I won't even bother with a proposal.

 

[DANOZ28]

if you really want folin , i'd take a decent draft pick for him. hes a serviceable #6 or #7 D man. i dont think we need both prosser & folin thats why i do a deal.

my thought as well with both players listed. I know Frolin had been on the LA radar for a while and Forbort just has little chance to play Muzzin, Martinez, Mcnabb and (Scuderi if he doesn't retire) out of their spots since the Kings have made it pretty clear they don't plan on sending Gravel down.

I wouldn't listen to all the Wild fans who think Folin is just some interchangeable piece.

Dude is big, skilled, and can be physical. And a right shot. It's not easy to go from NCAA to NHL.

He's the perfect guy to keep on the roster for a couple of years to see if he puts it all together at 28.

 

[DANOZ28]

i think you mean folin , not frolin http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=130891 we also need to make room for olofsson on our roster.

Any interest in Nick Shore? I would do Shore for Folin and a 4th

 

[Omni Owl]

Nah, we just picked up Trotman/Gilbert...

 

[Trolfoli]

King has played the RW a few times. Wonder if that would work.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Finally its not me trying to get rid of him A for effort

King has played the RW a few times. Wonder if that would work.

 

[jacks*]

Can't see why either team would be interested.Trash for trash.

 

[57special]

Wild don't need to lose a RHD, especially if it's for a LHD, where they are loaded. Suter, Scandella, Brodin, Reilly, Olofsson are all LH.

 

[Minnesota]

Counter-offer:

Folin for Nic Dowd

Right shot right winger prospect for Folin could be doable.

Probably fair value but we're reaaallly short on guys with NHL offensive upside

Not until Olofsson stays healthy and shows he can play in the AHL.

He needs an NHL look before the next season ending injury. Needs a new contract next summer...

 

[USE Fi]

Omni Owl said it, we have Folin in Trotman. I bet Lombardi had some R-handed defenceman lined up and and did not want to give an asset to get Folin if he can get similar player for free.

 

[rynryn]

it's not as out of left field proposal as i thought at first. thought i remembered something about LA in the Strib...

There was a rumor out there that the Kings were calling about Folin

 

[KingCanadain1976]

the more i think about it i pass on this trade I would rather see how gilbert and troutman work out before getting another defenseman.

 

[DANOZ28]

i like folin but its not like hes irreplaceable. i dont see him moving up the depth chart to a top 4 and sooner or later we will need to make room for newbies. so whats the issue? i still believe we never should have given up on blum. LA should go after him , i think hes in europe.

 

[57special]

At present, Folin is a RH 6/7 Dman. He is no better than Prosser at present, but he has the potential to improve into a #5. I don't see him being any better than that. Part of his value is that he is a RHD, otherwise, he's not a big deal.
