Trade and Free Agency - 2025-26

[DigitalBoldy]

Come on, people. We can't trade Stramel without giving him a proper look.
DigitalBooya talked me into being exited for him.

 

[MNRube]

I’d have inquired on Kesselring if I knew Buffalo was just giving him away. Our RD depth chart is basically just Faber, Spurgeon & Spacek

Ha, I was thinking the same thing. Used him to move up 7 spots late in the 1st round. Interesting…

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Would 4 years x $6M be too much/little for Bobby McMann? Big guy with speed and goal scoring ability. Just turned 30.

Value was essentially a 2nd round pick and we don’t have one for a while.

Gotta keep our powder dry for tippett.

Better not cost a ton.

 

[DANOZ28]

what would you think of trading spurgeon or brodin then adding trouba?

We got plenty of other things we could trade instead

I’d love this. This team needs to get more athletic. Tippett is a horse and having his shot on the PP would be a potential game-changer. I don’t see how we get him without Yurov + or Stramel + going the other way.

Wrong move.

I would hope they're aiming higher. We're not a tippett away from winning the cup. There are attractive RFAs out there and teams with cap problems and GREAT players being discussed as on the trade market. I wouldn't be rushing to make Owen Tippett our signature acquisition

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Tippet last 4 seasons: 27 + 24 = 51 per 82 games.

Hartman last 4 seasons: 21 +24 = 45 per 82 games.

We are likely looking at some big holes on the wing. Going to need more than one Top 9 F this offseason

When you factor in linemates, this is a really ugly look for Hartman.

I liked what Russo said on his podcast about an appealing aspect of signing either Anders Lee or Patrick Kane: if the Wild can get either to agree to a one year deal, they can use performance bonuses to divert some of the cap hit to the following season (when the salary cap is jumping again) since theyre over age 35.

I'm open to either or both at the right price. I am skeptical that Kane would want to come play for the Wild though. I kind of think he just likes playing with his buddy DeBrincat as much as anything now.ss

Who are the specific RFAs you're thinking of targeting? We don't have our 2027 2nd so we're kind of limited on what range we could OS at. Unless you're talking about going after someone from $1,575,969 to $2,387,832 (3rd), $4,775,666 to $7,163,498 (1st & 3rd) or $11,939,166+ (4 1sts). I'd try to OS Dorofeyev around 9m, but we'd need to get our 2nd back from the Avs, and I don't know how we'd go about that.

 

[Bdub]

If Quinn gave his approval to Guerin, would you do Gus to Florida for their 2 2nds, then flip those to Vancouver + Haight + Hartman or a 1st for Pettersson? Is that too much? Too little? Hard to get a read on his value. But, with our lack of assets, he just seems like one of the only guys who could be a real difference maker (If we're lucky), while at the same time not costing anything too painful to acquire. Not sure he'd even waive for the Wild though. Maybe that relationship with Hughes is fractured beyond repair.

Are u brainwormed. Hartman is more feasible than flag football Euro Petterdink!

No to all. Don't need anymore trash.Need a Top 6 center, 2 top 6 wings, 2 top 4 d-men, 2 bottom 6 dmen, a new coaching staff, new ownership, etc etc etc. Wtf is Larkin, Mathews, Barzel, etc, etc gonna do for Libasota? Keep Stramel, Keep Yurov. Its still a one and done team. Boldy, Hughes, Kaprizov, Faber and the Wall are all the Mild have to just get a W1 W2 next year.

f*** Bud dont eat that Bill Gates pork and buy from a local Farmer. Surprised Omar and Ellison haven't banned pork from Libasota yet.

Seriously? All that was necessary? Take that political BS elsewhere.
