Value of: Penalty Kill Players to Minnesota

[Digitalbooya]

Minnesota needs quality penalty kill players.

1st and 2nd round picks are off the table and top prospects. Not looking for high end players. Looking for quality bottom 6/bottom pair guys that can kill penalties. Bonus points if you can make the cap work with proposals.

Joel Armia is available for free. He ain't half bad on the PK, honestly.

So basically trading our current 4th liners + mid round picks for better 4th liners that can PK?

Meh.

Not sure it’s worth wasting Draft capital to get marginally better fourth liners

We have enough prospects. We need someone who can kill a penalty.

Ok

What would you offer for Colton Sissons? Really good on the dot and on the PK, also can chip in offensively.

David Savard 50% retained and Jake Evans for a 2nd and 4th

Chris Tanev lives to PK.

That might be enough for Savard, but not for him and Evans.

Don’t see Minnesota doing this

Just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic if you ask me.

I wonder if Minny makes a play for Lindholm. They got tons of prospects and he would help a lot of their immediate needs.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Stop trading for grit and try adding more skilled players. That should help with not taking so many penalties

 

[saywut]

Greenway seems to be excelling in Buffalo on the PK, though based on last year Deano thinks we've got 7 or 8 guys better than him there.

 

[Lunatik]

Lindholm and Tanev would improve your PK greatly

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

We were due for a stinker year just let this one burn slowly

 

[majormajor]

Eric Robinson is a good PKer, blazing fast. There's no roster space anymore in Columbus so he ought to be practically free to acquire. $1.6m expiring deal.

But it looks like Minnesota has zero cap space and Columbus has zero roster space (they're not taking anyone back), so I don't know how to fix that.

Conor Garland and Tyler Myers.

Minnesota’s roster is already full of bottom 6 forwards.

This just shows the front office really has no idea what they are doing.

Well, they say your goaltender is your most important penalty killer. So you may be interested in a goalie with a better PP SV% than the Wild netminders. What if I told you that you could get this improvement for the low, low price of free?

If you're hungry for a deal, call Ken Holland, because Soup's on!

He and Erik Johnson have been key to them turning the PK around in Buffalo.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

This the opposite of the Oilers IMO, I think this is more coaching and systems than personnel issues, at least long term. The PP coach is new this season, so you will give him more rope, especially with changing personnel, but the PK is on multiple years of underperforming relative to the defensive players that we have available.

A new coaching voice is likely a much simpler solution than a trade based on cap and team situation, of course there won’t be any changes now until they are back from Sweden. Just my two cents.

They have the 4th fewest penalty minutes this season


As for OP, I'm sorry but this is HFBoards. There is not such thing as a good defensive player. All 4th liners and 3rd pairing defenseman are all identical and equally worthless. Thread does not compute.
