Well I guess that’s one way to get a right handed shot.

775,000 against the cap. Cleared out a little cash. If they go LTIR tomorrow, does this mean Billy isn’t done?

Maybe Trenin goes tomorrow.

Wild literally traded two of the worst forwards in the entire league this year and there are people that are ready to give up on everything surrounding this franchise. This is great entertainment. I’d say there are other teams you are free to follow but this is an amusing read so please stay.

I'm more bummed that Lauko is gone than Khusnutdinov.

Me too. I have no issues with dealing Marat. He’s not what I was hoping he was going to be and I don’t see any signs of his getting any better offensively. I liked Lauko.

Sorry, but I don’t have the negative reaction most seem to have regarding this trade. While I like Lauko, he was hurt twice. Durability issues?? Don’t know, but it looks on paper like Brazeau brings more offense for what will eventually be a bottom six role and we need that. Not sure why we had to throw in a 6th round pick but the odds of that developing into someone who plays NHL minutes are minuscule at best.

Lauko was actually pretty good until he got injured. Khus was young and had speed. Remember when we gave up on Haula or Sturm?

Guerin has shown he is obsessed with size and only size. The Wild is one of the slowest teams in the league and they got rid of the one guy that had some speed for a really slow player.

Fans are concerns about Guerin's decision making with two major decisions coming up and his comments.

What world do you live in? Must be great to bend it to fit your narrative. Sturm was offered a contract that he declined. Thats not giving up on him. Haula was packaged in the expansion draft to protect better players. If there was no expansion draft he would have been a quality player for a while for this team. Hardly given up on.

Was hoping khuz was going to turn into something but to put things into perspective both guys were getting outplayed by our latest waiver pickup.

Don't like this one bit, and we move two guys with speed for one guy without

The speed angle is a big concern, not sure we can afford to be any slower as a team.

Me either. Seems more like deck shuffling of mid 4th line players. Couldn't care less about that lol

Haula wasn't going to sign back and was pissed that Minnesota didn't move him off the bottom 6. Sturm didn't want to resign because he wanted to move off the fourth line. Seems like they gave up on them.

Sturm declined because he didn't want to be stuck on the fourth line. Haula didn't want to resign with a Minnesota because he was stuck on the bottom 6. He made it known he thought Minnesota underutilized him. Sound familiar?

And aside from 1 year on an expansion team, Haula's been a bottom 6 player in every stop he's been at since.

Sturm isn't more than 4th line center.

Looks like maybe the bets were right in both cases.

Nope. Because Minnesota didn’t give up on either and both went on to play the same roles they were playing for the Wild.

Glad we got that squared away.

They gave up on them. Instead of putting them in positions to succeed they decided to trade them because it was easier.

I admonish your dedication but you should know by now it’s like talking to a wall.

We have a top 5 prospect pool but we haven’t got in our second rounders!

We got rid of 2 players that weren’t really doing anything but they had so much potential! Never mind the guy they were traded for has Out scored both of them.

Probably shouldn't go un-noted that Brazeau has 8 fewer points in 127 fewer games than those 2 combined.

Noted, but it's hard to be optimistic about this stat when the scouting report from Bruins fans is that he's big, has decent hands, and brings absolutely nothing else to the table. Terrible skater? We're stacked with those.

I think Boston ran a great pump and dump scheme with him this year. His offense is already tailing off. He's not a defensive player. He's not an aggressive physical player despite the size.

There's a reason he only has 76 career games despite being 27 years old and 6'5

He'll be in the AHL and then Minnesota won't re-sign him. Remember the Donato for Coyle trade. What the hell happened to Donato?
