Proposal: MN-NYI

Once again, not the point lol. I guess I also derailed the thread so anyway...

yes we will take Rossi for Horvat if he waives his NMC after building a house and getting sued by the county for it because it was too close to the water or some dumb zoning thing
We don’t want to do trades with the islanders. Your idea of “value” is just screwing other teams. Find someone else.

Both GMs have to accept so how is that screwing another team? It wasn’t like he was playing injured and the Islanders hid it from Colorado. Brock just didn’t have the chemistry they thought when he got there and it didn’t work out. Not every trade deadline pickup is going to be Butch Goring. If you want to blame anyone, blame Sakic for accepting the trade and not Lou.

I do think Sakic is stupid, because he paid way more than Nelson was actually worth.

A top 6 center who’s scored 30+ for consecutive seasons and plays in all situations is magically worth less because you wanted him for a 2nd and mediocre minor leaguer? That’s an interesting take. Might as well hang out with the Habs fans who think they can get a 25 year old stud top 6 center for a first and Laine.

Paying for past production is a giant hint that one's GM might be an idiot.

Most Wild fans don't even want Nelson as a free agent signing because he's clearly declining.

Tell me when one player got a contract or acquired for only future production. I’m genuinely curious.
 
You should have shafted the other GM because apparently you overpaid for him too. If Nelson is only worth a 2nd and prospect, Gustav should have only costed a 5th and a prospect.
You're being sarcastic, but if you actually traded a 2nd for Nyquist you would realize that wasn't his value at all for the same reasons that Nelson isn't worth what Colorado gave up. You're just being a homer because you think I'm discounting the islanders by saying Nelson isn't worth what Colorado paid for him.
 
You must be overjoyed by the Nyquist trade and happy that we gave up a 2nd. That must be Nyquist's actual value, since our idiot GM actually paid it :sarcasm:
Not following your logic....

I don't care who they trade for and how much this give up if it works.

I have watched this site for years and everyone thinks they know what the right value is.....no knows until time plays out

Gustav trade sucked for Minnesota
 
Sick deflection from the topic, bub.
Not really. You’re convinced that everyone is lowballing teams on trades and because said player didn’t work out it’s automatically shafting the team that acquired him. Say Jiricek doesn’t work out and only becomes a bottom pairing guy who can’t play special teams. Will you be fine with it or will it just be Guerin getting shafted?
