Proposal: Wild blow up the entire team?

[AKL]

Think Brodin is getting the short end of it here. Brodin did pretty well in the series, the last game he was on the ice for some goals but Dubnyk wasn't exactly stellar either.

It's not that we want Brodin gone or think he's bad, but he has more trade value than Seeler and Olafsson and we need to use that trade value to return a big fish.

What kind of big fish are you after?

 

[AKL]

What would Coyle to Vancouver cost?

We'd likely be looking at packaging players to upgrade, not trading our players for multiple parts.

That said, it would be nothing you'd be interested in giving up.

What are Minnesota’s needs?

 

[AKL]

What kind of big fish are you after?

No idea who's available, but the current strategy isn't working with these players we have. We should have jumped on the Seguin trade when that happened, so now we need to try to find a deal like that. Though, I'm not holding my breath for anything even close this offseason.

 

[AKL]

What are Minnesota’s needs?

Scoring. All of the scoring. Like legit, fool-proof scoring. Not guys who score in the regular season and then can't find the net to save their lives in the playoffs.

 

[TaLoN]

What would Coyle to Vancouver cost?

If the Wild were trading with Vancouver, they would likely be targeting someone like Brock Boeser.

Think of what you think the cost of him would be, and try to come up with a package.

I'm guessing Coyle alone doesn't get that deal done.

Wing or centre?

 

[TaLoN]

Wing or centre?

Either/or. We're in no position to turn down any forward position that can inject high end skill into the lineup.

I'd be extremely interested in Pettersson too.

Yeah I couldn't imagine...I mean maybe RNH for Dumba?

I don't want to speak for Oilers fans though. RNH is one of the few centres that *might* be available out there. The ship has probably sailed on Galchenyuk as a centre.

Absolutely f*** not.

RNH is not even close to the answer and Dumba isn't going anywhere.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Either/or. We're in no position to turn down any forward position that can inject high end skill into the lineup.

Well you should get a good player if you move Brodin.

Anyone in particular you’d like to get?

 

[WTFMAN99]

Absolutely **** not.

RNH is not even close to the answer and Dumba isn't going anywhere.

Don't know what else to suggest.

Maybe Brodin+ for ROR? Centres are very difficult to find.

Yes, take Dumba right off the table... trading away Dumba does not help the Wild at all in their quest. They need to add to what he brings, not trade him away in the process.

Granlund and Dumba are non-starters in any trade talks at this point.

Don't know what else to suggest.

It doesn't have to be a center.

Brodin for Jeff Carter?

 

[AKL]

Brodin for Jeff Carter?

Jeff Carter is 33 years old

 

[TaLoN]

Well you should get a good player if you move Brodin.

Anyone in particular you’d like to get?

I mentioned Brock Boeser in Vancouver as the player type the Wild would be looking to aquire. Young skilled forward with high upside.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Jeff Carter is 33 years old

Is he? Man, time flies.

Doubt Vancouver moves him.

 

[AKL]

I'd be interested to see what some of Arizona's young guys cost. Perlini, Dvorak, Domi.

 

[TaLoN]

Doubt Vancouver moves him.

I agree. That doesn't mean there isn't a player of that type that can be had somewhere else.

Zucker carries a lot of value at this point, entering his prime, and package him with Coyle and I'd guess you can entice a few teams.

We're not wanting to trade Zucker because he's a bad player, we're looking to trade Zucker because the roster as it sits doesn't work in the post season, and needs to be reworked a bit.

 

[AKL]

Or looking at a guy like Monahan, where his team isn't exactly performing how they want, and maybe you give two guys a change of scenery in a deal around Coyle for Monahan. Maybe you even go as far as Monahan+Andersson for Coyle+Brodin or something.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Yes, take Dumba right off the table... trading away Dumba does not help the Wild at all in their quest. They need to add to what he brings, not trade him away in the process.

It doesn't have to be a center.

I figure a centre would be needed, you have a lot of good wingers already and both Staal and Koivu are getting up there.

Brodin for Jeff Carter?

As someone said, 33 years old. Time has indeed flown by.

 

[AKL]

I figure a centre would be needed, you have a lot of good wingers already and both Staal and Koivu are getting up there.

Center would of course be ideal, but if the right winger comes along this summer we're in no position to say "no thanks we'll wait for the center". Our "lot of good wingers" aren't really helping this team (obviously), so replacing them is no skin of my back.

Keep Granlund and Dumba (and of course Suter, Parise and Koivu), but everyone else can be had for the right price.
