Speculation: Trade and Free Agency - 2024-25

[Dr Jan Itor]

The issue is that the Wild view Kaprizov, Boldy, Faber, and Wallstedt as top line/pair/starter quality for Cup runs. Not so sure they view Rossi as that (or any small player for that matter).Part of me wonders if they are pumping up his value by attaching him to Kaprizov so they can get a better return. Classic market manipulation.

Ideally he is signed. But if they do trade him, what would you want from another team?

At this point, I don't think I'd really be satisfied with much of anything unless he was a piece in an Eichel-like trade. A distinct upgrade.

I'd do Larkin for Rossi, Trenin, Ohgren and a first Round pick. But I doubt Wings would consider this. But their GM is Yzerman, you gotta try.

Larkin is a move I consider once I know Kaprizov is signed on for another 8 years. Not before.

Hearing that Kakko might be a target. Seems like a good fit. Do we have the cap to make it work right now?

I imagine it would take a couple picks or maybe Heidt.

The Rangers want Mats, but Kirill has chained him up.
