Speculation: Trade and Free Agency - 2024-25

[MNRube]

I wanted Kevin Stenlund. 6′3″, 58.9 FO%, PK:er

Yeah he would’ve been an excellent fit. I remember people clamoring for him here this summer

Stenlund instead of Trenin saves $1.5M per year too.

What are the chances the latest news on Kap has GMBG thinking LTIR and a big (ish) deadline deal? Nelson, Boeser? What are some other targets wild fans would be interested in?

Nothing that costs more than a 2nd round pick.

Not huge on paying for either Nelson, Boeser when we can possibly get them for free this summer.

Rakell is likely too expensive now, but I’ve wanted him for a year or two.

I like Crouse as (an admittedly risky) middle 6 acquisition who could fit well across from Foligno to create a legitimate shutdown line.

Frederic is a really good bottom 6 C IMO. Fast, big, mean. Brings some of the same characteristics than Crouse does.

Love Laughton’s versatility. Which reminds me of my other sneaky acquisition — Coyle. I think he has a few good years left and he is a guy who can play anywhere in your Top 9.

I think you go for a middle 6 F to add depth. If you want a big piece, gotta wait til summer. The problem with most these guys is we don’t have any expirings or cap space to accommodate a trade. I’m dubious about a Minnesota team being able to finesse a Vegas like IR move, but that’s probably just me being jaded

That additional year could be a way to get Boeser to sign for a little cheaper on an 8-year deal. I’d give a 2nd + B-level prospect for him, which probably isn’t enough.

I do think there is a benefit to bringing in someone that will be more than a rental, regardless of whether they may have signed in the offseason anyways. Bringing in Boeser now (if he’s one of our main targets) makes it a lot easier to avoid a bidding war in FA.

—————————

Although, looking at our roster next year I’m not sure where everyone would fit.

Kap - Rossi - Zucc
Boldy - Yurov/Ek - Boeser
Ohgren - Ek/Yurov - Hartman
Foligno - Khus - Trenin
Virus, Gaudreau

I guess you trade one of Gaudreau, Trenin, or Hartman.

Someone cheap who can push marjo down a line.

Oh noooo, we can't do that
