SECOND:
I hope the Flyers try to have a good roster instead of a bad one next season.
I think for Spurgeon it will have to take an offer the Wild can't refuse. They like him and he and his family like Minnesota.Subban and trouba are rumored available, but is spurgeon it is that just connecting the dots? The 11 OA pick should have plenty of value. No way I trade Myers.
Our best move is to build a time machine and trade for Stone.
Yea I think trouba is a good option given they basically have to trade him.I think for Spurgeon it will have to take an offer the Wild can't refuse. They like him and he and his family like Minnesota.
If Spurgeon isn't available, what would be fair value in a Trouba trade if he comes with an extension? Either the 11th oa and Ratcliffe, or the 11th overall and Jay O'Brien would be my guesses.Yea I think trouba is a good option given they basically have to trade him.
Conceivably could be on the move
Jared Spurgeon: Don’t panic … yet. Arguably the Wild’s biggest find (junior hockey free agent) and success story in team history said all the right things last week when he met the media and was asked if he wished to sign a contract extension this summer. “Obviously my family loves it here. We love it here. I want to win here,” Spurgeon said. But the key last line is Spurgeon wants to win. Whether they want to label it this or not, the Wild are in a rebuilding situation and Fenton will have to ensure Spurgeon wants to be part of that. It will also likely cost the Wild significant term (six, seven or eight years) and money (well more than his current $5.187 million), so Fenton has to be willing to stomach that type of commitment. The Wild wouldn’t be allowed to extend him until after July 1, so if it looks beforehand that it’s going to be impossible to get this done, Spurgeon’s trade value may never be better than at the draft. Toronto really, really needs a right-shot defenseman.
Jason Zucker: He’s coming off a down year with 21 goals and was nearly traded to Calgary at the trade deadline. While it would seem to be a huge risk to trade one of their fastest players a year removed from scoring a career-high 33 goals and from a team that’s downright pathetic offensively, trading Zucker seems like just a matter of time. Fenton is committed to building through young players like Fiala and Donato, so it would make sense to try to get them on their natural left side full-time. Trading Zucker opens up that spot for achieving the former or pursuing somebody like Anders Lee in free agency. Also, Zucker, for the first time, will submit a 10-team no-trade list July 1, so trading him beforehand allows Fenton to talk to 30 teams as opposed to 20.
For an extended Spurgeon I would do the 11th overall, Ratcliffe, and Hagg.
Not sure. I would think theyd want the 11 OA and a dman. But no one would make that trade since it makes no sense. So maybe they want a D prospect and Hagg.If Spurgeon isn't available, what would be fair value in a Trouba trade if he comes with an extension?

O.k., so maybe Zamula and the 11th overall for an extended Trouba?Not sure. I would think theyd want the 11 OA and a dman. But no one would make that trade since it makes no sense. So maybe they want a D prospect and Hagg.

They would never do that. You have to give to get.I'd rather have Soderstrom or whatever forward falls to 11 than Spurgeon or Trouba.
The 11th overall and Zamula or Ratcliffe is probably more than what Vegas gave up for Mark Stone (Brannstrom, a 2nd, Lindberg), and that was a deadline deal where buying teams theoretically overpay. It came with him extended, and he's 4 years younger than Spurgeon and a better player than Trouba.
I don't know if they'd do it but if we were doing a deal for Trouba I'd do something like a 2nd, a useful but unimportant roster player like Hartman or Laughton, and a very minor prospect (like a Sushko).
