Yup, for sure, but a couple of things are very different. Fiala is a vg 1st line player. Kaprizov is the best player in MN's history(in my opinion). Also, while some people around here thought highly of Faber, no one thought that he would turn out the way he is.
I was thinking similar to this, but Columbus probably wants a more heralded prospect and less young D considering their drafted players.
I wouldn’t want to, but I expect that is what it will cost and some team will pay that.
Columbus has no leg to stand on for asking that. Especially if there is an add that could be a 1st.
The retention itself is worth the pick in value, and Gaudreau has negative value at the moment. The only way the Wild are actually party to Laine is during the season when we can fit his cap, I imagine he would be demonstrating good health and positive play if the Wild are trading for him.
The Blue Jackets do not get to dump their problem player on us while getting one of our best prospects and potentially a 1st as well in return.
I miss the good old days when you could slam your phone in anger. Nowadays it's just a f***ing *click*. That could be anything. Slamming your phone was the ultimate way to tell someone to go f*** themselves without saying it out loud.
Detroit is chalk full of LD. Probably be a guy like Kumpulainen or Bankier.
Who, IMO, would be exactly the types that we shouldn't trade away. Was impressed with their play last year, and i can see them improving more than most as they fill out their lanky frames.
Well, I’d love to get Shai for a couple of 4th round picks, but that’s not how trades work.
Laine does seem like an odd target for BG. Perhaps he is ignoring everything else in the name of finding a 2nd line player who has shown he can score like crazy. If you gave me the choice between Laine and Johansson, I would take Laine every single time. I would also hope that with every other player on the roster being high character that they could handle a situation like this.
Yeah....he seems to be pushing hard for the guy. I think it'd be a mistake, but whatever.
