Speculation: Trade and Free Agency - 2024-25

[DANOZ28]

noway im trading 23 yr old boldy for 31 yr old zib.

I Would like Trouba but not if were losing Boldy,

Of course they would love it. We get hosed.

Trouba is a pretty good defenseman though. Zibanejad is a top 6 forward, 15 points in 20 games. Would basically be those two for Boldy, as Zucc will retire in 2-3 years.

That said, I suspect much of the excitement is the return of Zuccarello.

How do you like this proposal? Looks like NYR fans love it...

Do you like that proposal? Seems to be 2 major cap dumps for a young stud winger on a great contract and a fantastic playmaking winger on a great contract.

 

[57special]

No, Trouba is not a good Dman for his cap hit, and Zibanejad has declined significantly. It's a seriously stupid proposal that also doesn't account for the minimal account of cap space that MN has, let alone personal considerations like trading Kap's buddy(who has a NMC) before he re-signs here(duh), for Trouba, a man who is in NYC because that's where his wife, a physician, is doing her residency.

No. The excitement is Boldy.

 

[Circulartheory]

No. The excitement is Boldy.

People forget, Boldy is 23.

 

[Digitalbooya]

No. The excitement is Boldy.

Well, that and getting rid of $16.5M AAV worth of boat anchor contracts.

This HAS to be sarcasm, right?

It's not sarcasm, he's trolling to get reactions

 

[Puhis]

Yeah, that tweet is not worth its bandwith, and the proposal is pure garbage for us.

Moving on.

 

[NHL1674]

That would be my guess, because I can't find any discussion of it on NYR's board. So where are these "fans" that are excited about it? Actually, where are these fans that are even discussing it?

That tweet is proof that Twitter needs to die already.

Crazy tweet though, with it's 440 likes and 230 replies. But we're talking NYC and their very enthusiastic fans

Zucc would never go back to NY, not because he hates them, but he's doing just fine here with two kids, and a third coming if his nuts still work. He's not going anywhere.

I'm not so much on the Wild forum anymore, couldn't care less.
So that's a big miss on your part.

And yet here you are, posting trades you know are bullshit

Shipping Boldy southeast for Zibanejad makes no sense, but Trouba 50% retained + a 2nd and a prospect could work.

Do you have to wheel your head around in a shopping cart?

Russo is talking a lot about Jiricek, just posted another article on him within past hour, Something must be close to happening, same thing happened when Wild Acquired Fleury, he kept bringing up his name and it happened. Also tweeted earlier today to someone he doesnt think Rossi would be part of deal. So I think something is close to happening.
