I have no problem moving those assets, but not this season for a rental. There’s no way we resign him, and I don’t think we’re a Hertl away from a cup.

Given the condensed schedule and given the last few games, does anyone still think Minnesota can make a deep playoff run?

I think the same thing I thought while they were winning the games, I think they could make it to the 2nd round if they can play their game, but I'd be somewhat surprised if they advanced the the 3rd round, and shocked if they advanced to the Cup finals.

If we make it to the playoffs why not? Youre in the dance and anything can happen then

Don't we say that every year when we limp in? I'd like us to be a higher seed for once come playoff time.

It's all well and good to say "once you're in, anything can happen". The problem is when that's your plan and you build your strategy around it. I'm all for letting this team run as far as they can in the playoffs, but we shouldn't be buying expensive rentals on the basis of "once you're in, anything can happen".
We did that too and lost in the first round.
Didn't say we should. I was just responding to a rather open ended question.
Generally I don't form an opinion based on "a few games" anyway. Every team gets a slump in the season at some point. It's how long it lasts and how well you come out of it that matters.

No, I know, but other people have. That's just where I draw the line.
I think it's reasonable to pay a 1st and a prospect not named Rossi/Lambos/Wallstedt/Addison for a rental.
If the playoffs started today, I would only favor Colorado against us in the West. Vegas, too, if they were completely healthy. But an injury to MacKinnon or Rantanen, another Kadri suspension, Vegas gets upset in the Pacific bracket, and you're looking at our best chance to get to the finals in a while.
A late 1st is very unlikely to help us in the next 3 years, so I think it's a worthwhile gamble to trade it if that package could fetch a rental that moves the needle.

I'm going to go out on a limb and put Calgary in that group as well.
St. Louis, Colorado, Calgary, Vegas and possibly Nashville. Minnesota is 4 points away from dropping from 3rd to 5th, with 2 games in hand.
This team is not a contender. We shouldn't be trading a first for a rental.
