Like you’ll give us two 2nds to take Sutter?
Why don’t you worry about getting the canucks in the playoffs firstNo. Just trying to help fix the broken Wild.
Buchnevich, DeAngelo and Strome for Greenway, Rask and a 2nd.
He's probably the last forward on the team that I would want to see traded.Wild fans, what’s the opinion on Greenway so far in his young career? I know the offense looks limited...as a prospect I thought he was very unique with his ungodly reach, excellent team play and pretty solid skating for a big man. Figured the offense would be slow to evolve at the NHL level but that he was worth being patient on.
Thus far - still patiently optimistic or steadily lowering the expectations on his upside?
That does fix the Wild. We get draft picks. You get out a shitty player who should be a therapist.No. Just trying to help fix the broken Wild.

Realistically I expect Staal and/or Koivu gone at the deadline for picks. Probably 2nds, maybe a 1st for Koivu if he has a good year and a team is really hard up for a shut down center.Just because a GM is willing to listen on everything doesnt mean hes going to trade everythibg at fair value.
If the Wild are indeed pondering a rebuild then they don't have much incentive to trade any assets 25 years old or younger barring a noticable overpay.
Wild fans in turn should adjust their expectations- other teams aren't going to trade you prime young roster players for your vets. Expect picks and prospects

Once the season ends all bets are off on guys like Brodin and Zucker. It might come down to how the season plays out.
I wouldn't like it, and certainly wouldn't retain. Kapanen seems like a right-shot version of the young guys we already have.Kapanen for Brodin with 1 million retained?

The comment about right shots comes from Friedman who, with all due respect, seems to barely pay attention to the Wild. The Wild do lack right shots, but it's become a tertiary problem at this point. I think speed is a bigger problem, but still secondary. The primary problem is the veteran guys starting to tip off a cliff without the younger guys being ready/capable of picking up the extra load. Kapanen would probably struggle in the same ways that Fiala, Greenway, Donato and Kunin have.It does fit though right?
The first thing in the quote is. They want right shots.
Boudreau said “I can’t make them faster”
Kappy is a right shot speedster
Who do you have in mind that would be available for the assets you have?

There's also the fact that we just have too many wingers right now, which is a problem that'll get worse once Kaprizov comes over. A trade that nets another winger is just going to mean shipping out more over the summer.
If Brodin is traded it'll be because they don't intend to extend him after next year, and my guess is that it'll be for futures.
In my opinion his ceiling isn’t top 6, but he can play a unique roll once he gains a mean streak. He could very easliy develop into a player you win with as a 2-way third liner who puts the fear of god in the opposition. I’d move donato well before I move him.Wild fans, what’s the opinion on Greenway so far in his young career?

Hmmmm you think they will give away for futures?
Honestly I think they need to. It’s the right move but from all the radio we have in Canada. The prevailing belief is that the wild didn’t want to go with a big rebuild.
Russo has been on multiple stations. I don’t remember if he said it himself. But the guys who interview him seem to unanimously agree that the idea of a rebuild doesn’t work for wild management.
People have specific ideas about the term "rebuild," and most of those ideas don't make any sense with the current lottery odds. They can't/won't rebuild by selling off the vets for picks, mostly because they all have NMC's. That doesn't mean that they won't be honest about a bad year where they're not going anywhere anyway and use it as a chance to stock up on prospects.Hmmmm you think they will give away for futures?

Khaira, 2020 2nd(becomes a 1st if he puts up 50 points), and S. Gagner(cap reasons) for E. Staal?Realistically I expect Staal and/or Koivu gone at the deadline for picks. Probably 2nds, maybe a 1st for Koivu if he has a good year and a team is really hard up for a shut down center.

Sure? Don't really want Khaira but I doubt he'd be hard to trade.Khaira, 2020 2nd(becomes a 1st if he puts up 50 points), and S. Gagner(cap reasons) for E. Staal?
