Really ?

wait until Brodin takes one off the ankle or foot while PK’ing and misses some time. You’ll see how much wild will miss those 2

Can we not

Oh my God no. Do not want Evander Kane.

If hertl is included I’ll strongly consider it

thats what im thinking. san jose could be forced into a corner here to get rid of kane, who other than the outside distractions is still a pretty good hockey player. which could force the hand of san jose to give up in other areas to make it happen. Plus depending on the investigation kane could end up suspended or something (im not quite sure if that eliminates his salary)

at 3.5 for 3 more years it could get pretty sketchy unless we tried to also eat some of that cap and try to sell him to a contender at the TDL?

ya i thought of that too, if it didnt work out we could retain on top and move him again.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Guerin spends his entire tenure trying to build a good team culture, Wild fans ask if we should acquire Evander Kane…

that is not what i asked.

 

[BagHead]

Hm. 4 years of Evander Kane? I think the Wild could escape 2 years unscathed, but 4 is a lot. I don't really want to judge a guy I don't know, but there's always been a lot of baggage that's followed him around.

Hertl almost makes it worth while. Dang... it's an interesting question. I think I'd do the deal and then just buy Kane out if he becomes as big a distraction as he seems to have been elsewhere. At 50% retained, we'd only be stuck with 50% of the buyout (San Jose would be stuck with the other half). By that point, what's a couple million more in dead cap?

No. Not enough money to go around. Not interested in giving up the pieces required to get it done. SJ isn't just going to give Hertl away for free for someone to take Kane at 50%. You're still giving up assets.

And Hertl may not even extend here. Why would he?

 

[GordieGallant]

I’m hearing that Fiala will not be around by October 2022. Final guy to go in BBB’s purge.

 

[MNNumbers]

Hertl would probably be happy to play here, considering he gets Kap and Zucc for linemates.

The real issue is that it's likely Kane is guilty, in which case his contact will be terminated. So there isn't anything to discuss

What kind of source do you have, and what's the problem?

Locker room cancer, or just hard to negotiate with?

That's not how that works

who is telling you this?

His root chakra. Feel free to google where that's located.

If I *had* to bet on one side, I'd probably pick that one at this point.

I don’t disagree just curious if it’s being said actually

 

[DANOZ28]

i didn't think we'd have any problem with fiala , the team going to arbitration is a very bad sign. im thinking we trade fiala & kaprizov for a kings ransom and rebuild.

So byfield, Faber, and 2022 1st unprotected?

Oh? Have I missed something?

I was thinking somewhere on the lines of greenway, rask, and a pick. Then trade fiala next season if we can resign hertl. Greenway is most likely gone either way, so we really arent losing much.

hes being accused by his estranged wife that he gambled against his team and threw games.

Keyword. Accused.
Innocent until proven guilty. Or is that no longer a thing?
