We have a 29 year old Kap when we can compete and I’d say 50/50 he walks for free. That would be the most Minnesota thing that could possibly happen and you know it
I mean, it's also circumstantial. If we're #1 in the West and looking like a force for the playoffs, you suggest we trade him away because why?
We aren’t number one in the west and the opportunity to trade him is his offseason or he has 100% control. This doesn’t all need to be relitigated. It’s a valid concern
You don’t trade 1st line players like Ek and Kaprizov unless they want out. That’s as simple as it gets. You definitely don’t trade both.
How many superstars have been traded away in their primes?
Ok , I’ll just continue to enjoy the first round exits. Everyone else seems to enjoy them. Guess I’m the odd one that doesn’t. Ope …good try boys. Better luck next year. We almost had em. They just had a hot goalie. We were so close.
How many of those superstars won their teams cups by age 27 and signed long term willingly?
They can't win you the Cup if they're not on your team...
The part that isn’t computing is that trading Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek for picks doesn’t equate to winning playoff rounds. It puts you further from achieving that.
Age wise its the same but youre forgetting the 3 years of ELC and 5+ years of control.
I mean
They're actively trying to help, even. I never thought I'd see the day where a forum full of people with competing interests became compelled to pool their energy to help an opponent from making a bad decision.
This close? The team is garbage and not making the playoffs. Sweet f*** MN sports fans are dumb. 21-22 was a much better Wild team than this year or next year and they got bodied in the first round. It’s not working
Gretzky was traded by an owner who was in over his head, broke, and became an outcast in his own province, if not country, due to said deal. Let's stop pretending it was a "normal" trade.
True.
