Proposal: Wild sell-off

[Nharris31]

Some of these trades are better than Rask for Niederreiter .

 

[keppel146]

By some I assume you mean all trades are better

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

I suspect Buffalo would be interested in Charlie Coyle. Per ancient accords these teams have a standing offer to trade forwards for 2nds right? =]

Those accords recently transferred to Philadelphia.

Come on down hart and myers ( I say as a sabres fan remembering fletcher fondly)

 

[Mancini79]

The only disagreement I have is that I do think Fenton should be assessing how much he wants to commit to guys like Granlund, Zucker and Spurgeon long term. Zucker's NTC kicks in this year, and Spurgeon and Granlund will require extensions after next year, neither of which will be cheap. Those are probably the best pieces he has to fill whatever organizational holes he thinks we have, and before July 1st, 2019 would be the time to move one of them if he's going to.

Other than that, I agree. Being ****-awful for a year and trying to pick up some extra picks would hardly be the worst thing that could happen to the Wild. But tearing the whole team down to bare metal is premature and probably a not a recipe for success anyway.

Technically I'm not allowed to say any of that in this thread though, so shhhh.

Right now, out of those three I’d prefer to re-sign Spurgeon long term. Then move Zucker at the deadline or draft, and try to get every last morsel you can for Granlund in the off-season if he’s not willing to sign for 7.5mil or less.

 

[St Louis515]

Dubnyk for Jake Allen.Both need a change, maybe some side pieces going back and forth with it. Any interest ?

 

[Baksfamous112]

Deals I'd be looking for or something similar

Spurgeon - top 6 center, potential top 6 center + 1st
Coyle - 1st+, middle 6 right shot center
Staal - 1st+2nd
Brodin - 2nd line center
Granlund - top line center or right winger (60+ points)
Dubnyk - goalie of the future+top d prospect

Ask any Habs fan how hard it is to get a top C prospect or even a top 6/top pairing C. Almost impossible. No teams wants to trade those kind of pieces. Good luck getting the returns you ask on some of these guys

 

[rynryn]

Wild fans know how hard top six C's are to find. We have forever been in search of them...Before Staal, Koivu has been the only top six guy I think that would have been legit top six on most teams in the league. in the history of the franchise. one top six center.

maybe my current mood fogging my memory.

What would Habs fans want for Kotkaniemi?

Two players that need a change of scenery when one is objectively worse? Sounds like it's right up our alley.

 

[Jokerz89]

Heinen, Lauzon, Frederic, Backes (25% ret),and a 2019 2nd for Coyle and Brodin? Probably ridiculous, my bad in advance.

You unload Backes‘, add essentially nothing and get two proven, youngish NHL players on good contracts?

Where do I sign?

What about Staal, Foligno, Pateryn, Hendricks and a 2nd if Staal resigns for McAvoy and Pastrnak?

 

[donpaulo]

Jets can have Staal for a 1st

Just as a point of interest
NYR brought Staal in as a rental and the experiment fell flat on its face.
For a 1st I think the Jets can do better

Wasn't he also played as a 3rd line winger instead of center?

The rangers played him out of position on the third line. What did you expect?

Wouldn’t surprise me if Fenton thought about this.

We have been horrible at drafting centers. They’ve either busted out or turned into wingers

Fenton prefers a Swede...

 

[Bristo]

Try connor and a 2nd

Laughably bad. Winnipeg's not the one hosting the firesale here.

They also played him at wing, which is just a horrible idea. Hes too slow to be a wing

I don't think Frederic and Heinen are nothing.

Your "counter proposal" is 10x more ridiculous than his was.

 

[MNRube]

All I know is Spurgeon is going to make whoever gets him very happy. Hes twice the player any of Haula/Nino/Tuch are and they all blew up once they left MN Legitimately a Top 20 D IMO and our best player. Guy is a machine.

So Brodin & Coyle are equal to McAvoy and Pastrnak? At least I can admit when I go a little ridiculous sir.
