Minnesota Wild General Discussion - 2023-24

[TaLoN]

So you're just looking for any reason to trade Ek. Got it.

A year from now, this will be the source of a rumor that most here wanted Ek traded late this season.

And move way up in this draft

Knowing our luck, we'd draft the next Benoit Pouliot and wish we'd have Ek still

#3 guarantees Demidov or Levshunov and I don’t think there is any chance either of them miss.

What if at #3 Demidov isn't available?

 

[TaLoN]

Yup, and Nail Yakupov was supposed to be generational.
Sometimes people see it wrong.

Levshunov would be great. Eriksson Ek isn't the piece to get him though. Remember, these teams with top picks are rebuilding. They likely would want young NHL players (think Boldy) or top prospects (think Yurov).

Yah and that’s why my focus has been solely on the ducks. I think they are closer and have some nice pieces and I think they felt like they should have been closer this year.

For sure

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Just stack up future 1sts until Anaheim can't say no anymore.

 

[Minnesota]

Overdue. He was terrible most of the season.

 

[NHL1674]

Overdue. He was terrible most of the season.

Glad we re-signed him so early!

 

[NHL1674]

Seriously though. This is the second straight spring with him needing surgery. Second straight year where he has been bad out there. Yet Billy just had to rush and give him that bogus contract with all the fancy trimmings.

Stupid, idiotic move for a team that is in cap hell.

 

[DANOZ28]

don't give up on yurov , hes got a shot at being the next panarin!

 

[north21]

If we can run foligno zuc and Freddy on the 4th line we might just have something next season.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Who is giving up on Yurov?

 

[57special]

Who is giving up on Yurov?

Don't we have to get him before we give up on him?

 

[Wabit]

Don't we have to get him before we give up on him?

According to most of the women I've ever met that would be a resounding no.

 

[NHL1674]

I thought we were trading him along with Ek and Kaprizov for a better draft pick.

You need to get over to Roman Maroni's garage. It's BYOB - Bring Your Own Blanket.

I'd happily move into that garagemahall. I've even been playing around with barn quilt ideas for it.

Wild, Wild Alternate (Northstars), and Viking colors.

 

[AKL]

The Foligno extension continues to be a massive whiff, but in Guerin's defense, who could have predicted that?

If you stare at this long enough I think you can catch a buzz.

Lol, is that a good or bad thing?

It's just a 5v5 grid where I played with a few different shapes so I could get a decent look at the color palate all together.

That's sarcasm, right? Right?

All good, tested this morning and it even works when you are sober.
