Bobby Brink is good, not sure about Khusnutdinov. I saw him a lot on Sochi where he wasn't "blocked", he wasn't top6 center even by KHL standarts.

Not sure either but I recall Khusnutdinov being on some writer's Calder watch list (ESPN?) and back then, my reaction was "who dis?" He's uber blocked on the Wild lineup. I think Minn overpays in OP

Half of the Wild's top 6 is 5'10" or shorter (Kap 5'10", Rossi 5'9", Zucc 5'8"). We need right shot forwards. Tippett and Foerster would be great targets for need while also having size. Fully expect that neither is available. Brink at 5'8" 168lbs is not the guy we need.

I would do Tippett for Rossi as a base.

I’d imagine that indicates that he’s probably due for a regression in scoring rate then

He may or may not regress in scoring rate if his usage doesn't change. It can be reasonably expected, however, that his rate would regress significantly if he were actually playing the same number of minutes as McDavid or Point. I like to run a lot, and I can run as fast as some high-end marathoners for one or two miles. Get me up to my 20th mile, though, and it becomes embarrassingly clear who the faster runner is.


On the topic of the thread, I have little opinion. I do think Khusnutdinov is a good 4th liner for us, and losing an NHL-capable center right now would be rough.

No but Tippett was and we wouldn’t move him for the suggested package.

As I said, fully expect that Tippett isn’t available. You’d need to significantly add to Tippett to get Minnesota to even consider trading Rossi. Tippett is 2 years older, plays a less important position, and is a worse player.
 
I'd do it for the flyers, mostly because I want the 2nd moreso than the other pieces. They're cherry on top.

Oh absolutely. I only mentioned it because a) I stumbled on that stat a week earlier randomly and b) he's been scratched/some AHL last year so people probably assume he's a tweener but he's been surprisingly productive, even if he ends up in the top 90 instead of top 30 that would still probably be surprising to people who don't follow closely. FTR I like Khusnutdinov too so have no strong feelings on this trade.

Khus needs to start putting up points. He has 0 goals and 2 points. At this point, I'm guessing the only reason why he's not in the AHL is due to his...position?
