Confirmed Trade: [MIN/DET] Oskar Sundqvist for 2023 4th round pick

[13to40]

Sunny does everything fairly well - at 80 percent speed.

80 percent is generous!

Still did fairly well wearing the winged wheel during his short stay!

 

[BuLLeT1291]

I woulda gave a 4th for this dude to call me back no joke. 3rd if they coulda retained and we knew what he was asking for next year.

 

[Michoulicious]

Decent pickup. Cheap as well.

Finally Minnesota found a top 6 C!

 

[Nemesis Prime]

wild if true

 

[Reddwit]

He’s slow as f*** but otherwise an asset in the bottom 6.

 

[biturbo19]

Solid enough pickup for the playoffs. Not sure he's really what Minnesota needed exactly, but they obviously have other constraints looming that kind of limit what they can realistically do at the deadline.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Very sad to see him go

 

[MMC]

 

[SirloinUB]

Heavy feet but a solid player.

Trading Greenway + 4th for Sunny +2nd + 5th is a nice piece of work for the Wild.

 

[57special]

thank the lord. Tired of watching him fall down 8 times a game. #Hartnelldown reincarnated

Greenway falls down 12, and can’t take a FO.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

I actually like Minny's deadline a lot

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Come back to STL Sunny!

We miss you.

Some decent potential if Klingberg can be better defensively here and Nyquist gets healthy as planned.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Good depth pickup for the wild.

 

[SoupNazi]

Sorry to see him go, but good pickup for the Wild.

 

[Lapa]

Finally, a center.

 

[Al Lagoon]

The Wild's deadline has been interesting for it's use of lower draft picks, UFAs to be. cap space, and niche players that might help an unexpected playoff run.

Not as single deal to groan about, yet the Wild come out probably better now and haven't sacrificed the future a bit.

Guerin gets some credit from me.

 

[MBH]

Finally, a center.

Not sure he's got the speed to be a center.

 

[Lapa]

Not sure he's got the speed to be a center.

Has he played as a winger this season?

 

[haulinbass]

Just a really solid 3rd liner. Didn't play center in Detroit and I couldn't imagine him at center. Good enough of a role player that he can fill a gap in the top six for a couple games here and there.

 

[Hobnobs]

Love Sunny. Wish him the best in Minnesota. You guys treat him well, ya hear

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Just a really solid 3rd liner. Didn't play center in Detroit and I couldn't imagine him at center. Good enough of a role player that he can fill a gap in the top six for a couple games here and there.

So should be pretty good 4th liner then.

 

[Hobnobs]

So should be pretty good 4th liner then.

Elite 4th liner I would say because he can do whatever is needed in both checking and forcecking type of roles. And not offensively handicapped with the puck either. One of those guys that "come out of nowhere" to score important goals in the playoffs.

I'll probably be rooting a lil for Minny is playoffs.
