Friedman: Bill Guerin will listen on everything

[Helistin]

Bill Guerin will listen on everything? As opposed to other GM's who just put their fingers in their ears and shout ' La-la-la , I can't hear you' when someone talks to them.
Sigh.

The next breaking news : Bill Guerin wakes up in the morning , takes a shower , put his clothes on , gets some coffee and starts doing his job.

It means no one is untouchable or off limits.

If Suter is available Mtl should be on him.

What is his value ?

What is his value ?

Suter has a NMC, which means only he decides if he's available.
If he decides he wants to move on because the team isn't competitive, trading him would create a potential nightmare situation with cap recapture, the Wild shouldn't even consider this.
The only way he's going to leave this team is through retirement or LTIRetirement.
There is a process in which he could waive his NMC, go through waivers, and if no one takes him (which for Suter, I doubt), he and the Wild could mutually agree to terminate his contract, making him a UFA. I give this scenario about a .00001% chance of happening.

Regardless, Suter and Parise won't be traded unless the Wild want to risk up to a 38M cap penalty.

Jost
Colorado's 1st (protected, presumably late)

Zucker
3rd-ish round pick or something else

Lol no chance I'd add the 1st, sorry. After watching Ottawa giving up a top-5 pick, the last thing the Avs should do is trade a first round pick. Those become soooo valuable when you're contending. (If they can)

edit: just saw that it was protected, my bad. Still a no.

I specified "protected" if that changes anything, lottery or top 20 or whatever. It's just that I don't think that Jost + 2nd is enough; + an unprotected 1st is obviously too much.

Could see a situation where it's Jost+ some combination of a 2nd+2nd or 2nd+3rd from 2020 and 2021. Two of those four picks with one definitely being a 2nd.

Not saying I love it, but realistically could see that being the deal.

 

[I Like Eich]

I'd be alright with a 2nd for Staal, personally. Maybe more if we're taking a cap dump back as well, because even as a 3C his cap hit is pretty light.

Thompson or a 2nd.

Wouldn't be in any rush to do it, but closer to the trade deadline if the Sabres are still looking pretty in the standings, I think I could get on board with moving a 2nd or 3rd for Staal if it still makes sense.

Value of Hartman to Carolina?

Picks and prospects available.

Hartman's one of the only Wild players that I've enjoyed watching this year, so my judgement is compromised. It'd hard to be say no to a 2nd, but beyond that I'd rather they just keep him around to prevent my eyes from bleeding.

If we're going to have a new thread every time someone opines that the Wild might want to consider a rebuild this is going to get out of hand quickly.

 

[TT1]

Zucker/Brodin are nice pieces, Greenway too but i doubt they'd move him.

 

[AKL]

If we're going to have a new thread every time someone opines that the Wild might want to consider a rebuild this is going to get out of hand quickly.

We already have like 6 Wild threads on the first two pages of this section.

Might as well combine everything into one definitive Wild speculation thread.

Zucker I don not think will waive because he and his wife like it in Minnesota.

 

[Gaud]

So if the wild restructures.... Do they become the Civilization?

 

[AKL]

Zucker I don not think will waive because he and his wife like it in Minnesota.

He has a 10 team NTC. That means there are 20 teams in the league he can be traded to regardless of whether he wants to be or not.

 

[Bazeek]

He's only got a 10 team list.

I thought it was a full NMC but I was wrong, thanks for correcting me.

What’s Ryan Suter’s trade value right now? Contract is awful but he’s still good.

Obviously he has a NMC and likely isn’t going anywhere but I’m curious what his value is. Is his contract so long and bad that he’s a negative/neutral value trade asset?

Do Wild fans ant rid of Greenway? I would have thought he's apart of the team moving forward.

Zucker I don not think will waive because he and his wife like it in Minnesota.

I would have guessed he'd want out with all the rumors, get a new start.

 

[AKL]

Parise, Suter and Zuccarello are the ones with NMC. Zuccarello’s turns into a NTC in years 4 and 5.

I would think too but he nixed a deal to Calgary, I think his wife is holding things still.

He simply can't be traded. Even if he wanted to and the Wild wanted to, there's no way we can risk the recapture penalty. His cap benefit at the end of this season will be 19.2M.

Greenway likely isn't one of the guys we're in a hurry to get rid of, but we do need to get rid of some wingers. We have an abundance of them, and Kaprizov coming in next year. The thought was we could package a couple for an upgrade, but if we're going the rebuild route, I don't know what's going to happen. Most of them are young and would fit the timeline for a rebuild, so we wouldn't have to get rid of them.
