Speculation: Trade and Free Agency - 2024-25

[north21]

Maybe I’m the odd one? I don’t want anything to do with EP or JT.

For the price we would pay, the cap hit and the players, seems like a lot of risk.

 

[Prior]

JT Miller in a vacuum where contracts do not matter and where you could trade for him for nothing that would hurt off this roster or a prospect like Buium or Yurov would be a tremendous fit on this roster. He represents a lot of what I would say they are missing. But I don’t know why you’d be comfortable with that deal until he’s 37 and that’s ignoring the cost.

The Idea of what Pettersson represents in the past is not the player he is today. It’s great that he has a 100pt season but Rossi is out scoring and out pacing him and he’s enough of a concern that his captain and management are calling his attitude to the forefront. What are you getting for the assets you move for him and the contract you need to pay him? This is not an Eichel level player.

Hold the assets and keep waiting for something else to shake loose.

Pettersson seems to be like Jiricek. Refuses to get his body in NHL shape. He looks like a CPA. Totally unacceptable for a guy making $11M to be so thin and fragile. Jiricek is a good deal younger and he’s really tall so sometimes those guys take longer to fill out. But EP needs to hit the weight room.

I don’t really want Boeser all that much either. He’s a good player but I’d want more speed in the top 6 than we currently have. We are very slow as far as actualy straight line speed is concerned

 

[AKL]

Would anyone have interest in Taylor Hall at the deadline? I could be convinced for a 3rd and meh prospect. Could replace Johansson I think.

A part of me died when the Wild signed Matt Cooke. I'm not sure how many parts I can spare.

But yes, he'd probably improve the scoring depth.

 

[rockymtnoyster]

Itd be cool to acquire someone like Nick Robertson , think he'd help out our bottom 6 and wont cost all that much

I actually liked Cooke, until he got injured. Can't speak to what he did elsewhere, but i always thought he played an enrgetic, sound game. PIT fans thought the same when he was there. Refs would call him way tougher than they would other players, probably because of history in earlier days.

Chris Simon was a TDL acquisition that didn't thrill a lot of fans.

Hall....he isn't very productive, gets injured.... does he play a smart game? I'd rather see Ohgren get a call up. Makes 6M, and does about the same as MoJo, for three times the price.

 

[AKL]

I'd rather see Ohgren get a call up.

Been there done that: 8GP, 0G, 0A, 10 S, -2


Hall has 37.5% higher production than Johansson this season playing on a much worse team, probably would be higher if he was in Minnesota's top six all year

Put him with Eriksson Ek and Boldy who can play a responsible game, it's a marked improvement on whatever Johansson is

Makes 6M, and does about the same as MoJo, for three times the price.

Retention, hypothetical cost is a 3rd rounder and mediocre prospect, not a big loss, low risk high reward move

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Who is the meh prospect? I’m open to trading for Hall.

Any of them that are meh.

Kiviharju

Kumpulainen
Pionk

I really, really wanted you to put Stramel in there... for reasons.

I don't think he has enough value to make that list

For legal reasons this is a joke

I’m good with all being available in such a deal, except for Kumpulainen.

We should keep as many Boldy clones as possible.
