Imagine trading EK + for Barrett Hayton lolI know it's hard to tell sometimes, especially after my comment earlier about Ek+ for Hayton, but that last post actually wasn't sarcasm lol

Don’t think we have the loot for thatHorvat trade and sign marner in free agency.
Don’t think we have the loot for that
Maybe not in just one trade. Say we do Rossi for Horvat pending the plus. If they take trenin also that is cap saving then spurgeon or Brodin almost has to be traded for futures. It’s not likely to happen but there is a pathDon’t think we have the loot for that
If the book on Peterka is accurate, that he plays little to no defense, then I can’t imagine BG and JH trading for a player who only shows up on one end of the ice….unless it is a bigger trade and we get something else along with Peterka. It is just counterintuitive to everything they seem to believe in as hockey guys.Given Guerin’s history and the current trade rumblings, I think a straight up trade of Rossi for Peterka is what’s going to happen.
Feels like a “change of scenery” trade for both teams, even though the players don’t really need one. We won’t really get any cap savings from this & the production is probably going to be similar. However, I think this is the best case scenario for us if Guerin is set on moving Rossi.
Then you sign either Nelson or Boeser (depending on where Hartman/Yurov are playing).
Kap - Yurov - Zucc
Boldy - Ek - Peterka
Ohgren - Hartman/Nelson - Boeser/Hartman
Foligno - Gaudreau - Trenin
Kaprizov - Yurov - Zucc
Boldy - Ek - Peterka
Ohgren - Hartman/Nelson - Boeser/Hartman
Foligno - Gaudreau - Trenin
Russo said something along the lines of the Wild are “very interested” in Peterka in the worst seats pod that came out today.If the book on Peterka is accurate, that he plays little to no defense, then I can’t imagine BG and JH trading for a player who only shows up on one end of the ice….unless it is a bigger trade and we get something else along with Peterka.

I think there could be some real talks between the two organizations, but I personally don’t think that Thompson and Peterka is what is being discussed. I think Tuch and McCleod is more likely/realistic.
This is going to sound weird, but this lineup almost has too many shooters. Could use a playmaker like Granlund to distribute.With the added scoring depth I’d love to see that top line stay intact:
Kaprizov-Ek-Boldy
Ohgren-Nelson-Peterka
Hartman-Yurov-Zuccarello
Foligno-Gaudreau-Trenin
A lot of flexibility in the middle 6 here until we find some chemistry. Not the biggest fan of the Wild signing Nelson but I like this lineup…
Granlund for Zucc would be an amazing swap. But also not at all realisticThis is going to sound weird, but this lineup almost has too many shooters. Could use a playmaker like Granlund to distribute.
Oh no, not that!This is going to sound weird, but this lineup almost has too many shooters. Could use a playmaker like Granlund to distribute.
That top line makes me wanna vomit. Kap deserves better.I've been banging the Rossi for Peterka drum (if it has to happen) for a while, so let's make it happen.
Kaprizov-Nelson-Zuccarello
Peterka-Eriksson Ek-Boldy
Foligno-Yurov-Hartman
Öhgren-Gaudreau-Trenin
Hinostroza
Zuccarello is an ugly black mark on that lineup but the rest of it looks okay enough. Team isn't competing for a Cup but maybe it goes to game 7 of the first round.
That top line makes me wanna vomit.
Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.That's why I did it that way, get all the vomit out in one line and let us sort of enjoy the rest of it
Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.
I know he has been talking about this a lot, and Lord knows he has way more connections than I do, so I’m sure Russo is right. But I also know that many of the reasons why they are unhappy with Rossi sure seem to be some of the same things they’re gonna get with Peterka. It just does not make sense to me in that regard. Now, if I can swap Rossi for McLeod in some form of deal, I’m interested. McLeod is a bigger center, a better defender, plays on the PK, is 26 years old who also can score, that makes much more sense to me. I don’t know why Buffalo would do that, but if I could do that deal, I could get my scoring winger elsewhere.Russo said something along the lines of the Wild are “very interested” in Peterka in the worst seats pod that came out today.

I think it falls under how they view center vs wing. The two positions play differently and that may allow different wants and expectations for each roll for each position.I know he has been talking about this a lot, and Lord knows he has way more connections than I do, so I’m sure Russo is right.

Yes, that same thought about him being a winger rather than a center crossed my mind. At the same time, an uncovered player on the ice is still an uncovered player on the ice. BG and JH do not like poor defenders. If they think he can outscore his poor defense, then I guess that’s another story.Which are?
I think it helps that Peterka is a winger, where defense is less important overall than at the center position.
This is part of the reason I wonder if there is smoke to moving Rossi to wing. It gives versatility in case of injuries at center or if Yurov doesn’t pan out.I think it falls under how they view center vs wing.
