Value of: Minnesota Wild retool?

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Let's face it they're a very mediocre team. What is available from their end?

Everyone.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Everyone.

What is Brodin's value?

 

[AKL]

What is Brodin's value?

Full NMC and just signed an extension.

Everyone from the roster should be available except Kaprizov, Ek, Boldy, Faber, Brodin (NMC) and Spurgeon (NMC)

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Brodin please if you guys are selling. Trade offer would be in the Ekholm trade valuation realm. Thinking out loud Edm's 2024 1st + Bourgault.

Obviously providing he'd waive for Edmonton. Killer offensive and running a D core with countrymen Ekholm and Broberg. We'd find trades for Ceci and Kulak for cap room and Yamamoto can be shown the door also.

Brodin is a left shot D that can play both sides correct? I recall him partnered with Klefbom playing LD.

Nurse - Brodin
Ekholm - Bouchard
Broberg - insert cheap 6/7D veterans

Spurgeon is the guy you should go after...only one more year of NMC, but he is an Albertan, and might consider waiving....certainly more than Brodin would. Spurgeon is simply a better Dman, and is RH. A late 1st and Bourgault simply doesn't get the ball rolling for either Dman, though.

Why not sign Dumba(UFA, RHD, Albertan) ? Cost no assets.

The problem is that Minnesots is handcuffed by the Parise and Suter buyouts for 2 more seasons. I was thinking that they should trade for Schiefele and extend him, but a lot of moves will be hard to pull off before summer 2025.

 

[serp]

I don't think they can really improve by that much for the next two years . The massive buyouts eat $14,743,588 for the next two years. Until thats gone the current state of the team is probably the ceiling.

I mean they just played a good series with Dallas sans their 2nd best player and with Kaprizov hurt. They also have maybe the best prospect pool in the league. The buyouts are only a small piece of the puzzle

I just don't think you can win very much with ~$15M in dead cap. You really would need your cheap ELC guys to step up massively.

And yet they just keep producing 100+ point seasons and have Rossi, Wallstedt and others poised to replace plugs like MAF, Reaves, Foligno. Fairly obvious road to improvement.

 

[HuGort]

Everyone.

Would you move Boldy?

3 straight first round losses. The $15M less of cap mean alot of less depth for the team

 

[Nico13]

Sharangovich would be a perfect fit for Minnesota. Every team needs a bielorussian player.

Sharangovich for Boldy. Young gun for young gun. And like that, we help the Wild opening some cap space.

Our head coach hasn’t won a round in playoffs since 2004-05 when he was coaching in WHL.

While we have issues in our team, Evason is the biggest issue of all.

with $15m less in players he's has a significant handicap.

the wild have very little to sell. they need to keep their cheap players and its not like they are going to move kaprizov or ek. the team is a mess

He has a handicap yes, but he’s also incapable of adjusting when things aren’t working.

Team is fine. Our biggest need is at C, otherwise we’re ok. We have a strong prospect pool.

what do you see as the goal for the wild next season?

Getting past first round. We’re too good to tank.

 

[Zrhutch]

I haven’t watched much wild hockey outside of this series, but the problem to me seems to be top six scoring, which is true for a lot of teams. They’ve got some guys coming down the pipe that’ll help, but they need more. It’s a forward group of Kaprizov, Ek, Boldy, and then a ton of 3rd liners. Kuznetsov immediately comes to mind as a potential fit if they can move pieces for him.

So you expect improvement with a team severely limited by the cap? It seems pretty unreasonable

Not really unreasonable. With a good coach and JEE playing the Stars series would have been winnable.

Dean does not know how to coach a playoff team. It’s the story of his career.

Sharangovich is 3 years older and worse than Boldy. Wild counter with Joel Eriksson Ek for Jack Hughes

Shouldn’t drink in the morning.

Sabres will take back Foligno
