Nice pick up

Guerin will be toasting himself. Trenin has FU in his game.

Should be a good fit, Wild lost a lot of physicality in their depth the past couple seasons, and we need PK players.

 

[MarchessaultCantRead]

A great player and a sizable loss for the Avs.

Good pick up
Was hoping the hawks would get him

 

[Hattrick Kane]

3.5 million a year for a fourth liner? Good lord that’s terrible

 

[SEALBound]

That's a little expensive truth be told. That's a 12:01pm FA price. That said, there's few like him in the league so they get a premium. Good for him and good for the Wild.

3.5 M per??

I like Trenin but my god. And they already have Foligno making huge cash for a deluxe grinder.

I like

4 x 3.5 I very much dislike

Why Billy

 

[Carlzner]

Early contender for worst contract of the day

 

[BlueDream]

Of course the Wild overpay for more grit lmao.

 

[57special]

Totally forgot he was traded to CO. Huh, thought he had more PIM's.

 

[Legion34]

48% taxes.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Well, f***.

 

[Legion34]

Well, f***.

Now do you believe me about taxes?

 

[AintLifeGrand]

Minnesota got fleeced by Trenin lmao

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

48% taxes.

Doesn't account for a 50% overpay.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Minnesota adding some bottom 6 grit at a higher cost then expected.

 

[MarchessaultCantRead]

Yeah, it’s an overpayment, but he just turned 27 earlier this year, so I don’t think it’ll be that bad for Minnesota.

They’re getting him for his prime years.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

3.5m x 4

I think the league should have just left a flat cap

 

[Lapa]

4 x 3.5 is crazy

 

[57special]

The guy averages 14+ minutes p/g. He isn't a 8-10 minute 4th liner, like some MN was trotting out at the end of the year. As the cap goes up, and MN's cap penalties go away, this will seem like a moderate contract. Size and hitting is a skill, and you have to pay for it.

Please, no NMC's or NTC's!
