Russo has been speculating for weeks that the Wild would look to pursue Laine, though he says it could get done later in the summer.
Seems like the only way it can happen, unless he can convince MoJo and Gaudreau to waive their NTC/NMC's, which is highly unlikely.I’m thinking it would be something like Gustavsson + 2nd for Laine @ 50% retained. I’m completely fine with this not coming together, but just thought it was noteworthy
Gotta imagine 50% retention is worth that alone. A nearly PPG player for less than 5M for the next two seasons? That's not gonna come cheap.I’m thinking it would be something like Gustavsson + 2nd for Laine @ 50% retained. I’m completely fine with this not coming together, but just thought it was noteworthy
Minnesota has 10 players on NTC’s, M-NTC’s or NMC so for Minnesota to acquire Laine would be almost next to impossible, unless some players waive.Seems like the only way it can happen, unless he can convince MoJo and Gaudreau to waive their NTC/NMC's, which is highly unlikely.
1 PPG player with center Jenner in 2021/22 and had 52 points in 55 games in that season with center Roslovic and d-men: Peeke, Gudbranson and Berni in 2022/23.Gotta imagine 50% retention is worth that alone. A nearly PPG player for less than 5M for the next two seasons? That's not gonna come cheap.
I just can't see the two making it work.
