Speculation: Trade and Free Agency Talk - 2022-23 Edition - Postseason Success can't be a Myth!

[Bazeek]

I agree with him.

(positive comment)

I do as well. Mostly I wonder if the Talbot trade changed what the might be looking for.

 

[Wabit]

I'm going to guess that players are still looking for more term than we should be looking to hand out, a la Deslauriers.

There hasn't been many (if any) contracts given out yet that I would have liked MN to have gotten instead of another team. So waiting seems like the correct thing to do.

Well expecting Rossi to be better than a plug in the NHL next season, when he wasn't better than NHL plugs (Rask and Dewar) sent to the AHL last year, doesn't make much sense to me.

Rossi should surpass plug quality player. I just don't see it happening next season.

Rossi's AHL status last year was 95% related to his contract being able to slide, and keeping him an ELC throughout the entire buyout years.

Don't act like he had a fair shot to make the roster in any significant manner.

I'm just looking at the amount of pages per signing. None have passed 20 pages and only a handful have passed 10 pages.

MTL, EDM, and TOR being very quiet so far I think help the stability of the site.

The real test will be when Gaudrau and Kadri sign their ridiculous deals.

 

[Bazeek]

Whoa, no thank you, Satan.


Again, the perks of being poor.

He was also > a point-per-game something like 30-35 games into the season. He absolutely gets called up under different circumstances.

Only thing for me so far would be Samsonov (if Talbot would've been traded for a pick). But yeah, not much else.

Anyone signing with CBJ is news.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Don't think I agree with that, especially on Rossi.

I hate when people say ridiculous things like Rossi is a plug.

 

[pfunk]

Wow. Just got off work and scrolled through the deals handed out today. Looks like players are making out even better than normal on free agency day. Deslauries for 4 years at 1.9? Yikes. Glad Guerin has only been watching from the sideline.

And gives me another night to mess around on Capfriendly on trade scenerios that won't ever happen. So that's a perk

Maybe capfriendy will be caught up with everything by then?

You're wrong - he's worse than a plug -.-

 

[Webster]

Smart by Guerin to wait, of course UFA's who still haven't signed after a week or two will become cheaper.

 

[Bazeek]

Whoa, no thank you, Satan.

Guess we file this in the very thick "don't believe everything you read on the internet" file.

After watching that video (prospect thread) Rossi's skinny frame surprised me. How will he handle the NHL? It looks easy to knock him off the puck, but hopefully I'm wrong.

He’s almost the exact same size as Zucc. He will be fine.

 

[AKL]

He's actually a couple inches taller and probably a little bit thicker at this point.

That boi thicc

 

[Soldier13Fox]

I wouldn't mind bringing Nino back, I always liked him, but not for what he'll probably get on the open market.

I have an irrational wish for this to happen. It won't, I'm not sure how we could afford it.... but Nino was my favorite when he was wearing a wild sweater. Streakiness and all...

 

[IAHockey25]

Listening to BG today, it sounded like a trade was more of an option then signing someone

 

[HotDish]

“A lot of mistakes are made on this day,” Guerin said. “With how sensitive our cap situation is … our team is pretty set — we’re going to need one more body — so I feel like we can afford to wait.”

'A lot of mistakes are made on this day': Wild GM Bill Guerin explains slow start to free agency

While the rest of the NHL made big moves on Day 1 of free agency, the Wild are waiting to see if they can get value later in the game.

He got traded to the Caps today for 2024 2nd round pick.

One name it seemed they had interest last year was Dvorak. Wonder if that interest is no longer after his down year?

Wasn't really a down year, it's on par with every other year. He's just a third line center.
