Rumor: Nick Foligno to Minnesota

[Bazeek]

Or Eichel is X and Boldy is going Buffalo.

It's hard to imagine Minnesota making an offer for Eichel that doesn't include Fiala, though Boldy could be in there as well. That'd certainly create a need to sign a free agent winger or two.

Fiala, Boldy and a 1st has been my thought. Wild can catch the attention of lots of UFA’s after landing Jack.

I get that Foligno has intangibles, but MN has plenty of that. I guess his toughness would be nice, but he has slowed down quite a bit. I thought part of reason Koivu, Staal, Suter, Parise were let go was so MN could get faster, and now he signs Bjugstad and Foligno?

If thats your worry, which I get; NJ would happily take a look into Fiala, whos buddy buddy with Hischier

Zacha+ as a return?

I doubt we have the ammo to pull that deal off comfortably. It's a step forward, step back situation for us possibly. The center piece going back is better than Zacha

If it had to happen, I'd hope for Holtz + NYI 1st + something with value in between these two things (mid-1st value)

 

[TaLoN]

Isn't that tampering?

We are a few weeks away from UFA and these guys already know what will happen without seeing the numbers or offers he might get ?

Players can express interest in teams, and players with family on other teams could legally hear from their family what their family member has heard.

Thus, it could leak to the media that a team and player have mutual interest without the team itself doing anything illegal.

Hell, players are constantly actively recruiting, as long as it isn't management doing it, that's deemed ok.

Would strongly point toward one of Fiala or Greenway being traded this summer.

Wha????

With Nick Bonino likely moving on, the Swinging Nicks line is in grave peril. The importance of bringing in Foligno can't be overstated.

Heard through the NHL grapevine that the Wild are aggressively teaching Nick Offerman how to skate just in case.

There would be a shortage in gold in Minny after he convinces the players to get away from currency and switch to gold.

Worst deadline deal in awhile.

Is CBJ just not interested in having him back?

This has been part of my reservation about bidding for his services, because I assume he'd just go back to Columbus if they were offering something reasonable. I guess with the turnover there that might not be the case, though?

my guess is they are going for a rebuild and rather use a roster spot for a young prospect or Nick isn't interested in playing for a team finishing towards the bottom.

Very cool. He’s a really good player. Screw Toronto.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He seems to be on the far down downside of his career.

Hopefully for Minny it isn't a shit deal.
