I like it, hopefully the Wild knock the logo out of the park also.

You know they're going to go with dual X's made via hockey sticks... Maybe overlaying the State of Minnesota...

I thought Minnesota did a great job with the all star logo and sweaters back in the day.

The All-Star game is a different animal. This was their 10th season logo...

completely forgot about that abomination until you posted it.

Yeah, Bergevin clearly wants a scoring winger with some size. 16th overall is nothing to turn your nose up at, but it's hard to say what's available out there.

Greenway

Greenway

I'm probably higher on Greenway than most but even I'll admit that's pushing it.

That's why we'd take it and run...

Greenway would be the type of player that they could use. MTL has talent, but no size up front at all. I am still curious to see how he works out for us, though.

I'm on the fence for trading greenway if we got a reasonable offer. I'm pretty much at the point of

52% trading Greenway blows up in our face
48% we look like geniuses moving him before value drops.

I just think he should probably get .5-1 year to see if he can step up.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Anyone down for Greenway + 39 for 16?

If we're trading another LW it should be Foligno. Good player for what he is, but I don't want any part of his next contract and Greenway can largely play the same role for less money.

Am I wrong in thinking that the middle of the 1st to the top of the 2nd seems like a jumble?

Might as well. Guerin is getting good at losing trades

Not really, and I'm not a huge Greenway fan.

I'm 100% on the trade Foligno train so sign me up.

It’s because he learned from Jimmy Rutherford. These guys get hosed in trades all the time because they want to “make a good deal for both teams”

really depends on how the draft looks, but leaning no.

I've really liked our Pitt trades. the rest are meh to ick

Absolutely no way Greenway fills Folinos' role.

Greenway is just a really good laid back kid and doesn't have that "switch" to turn on and off like Folino has. He'll grab, push and pull but NO CHANCE will he be the guy that opponent has to answer to if they take liberties with his teammates.

I mean... most of the time neither is Foligno.

There is the possibility that he just isn't any good at the job.

I disagree.

Everyone around the league knows which players on each team are on the bench .....Reeves, Wilson, Oleksiak, etc

Folino definitely has the respect of the "tuff guys" in the league

Greenway is already better than Foligno will ever be. Foligno isn't that guy for the Wild. Hartman is
