interesting.

Fletcher's still trying to get what he wants for Scandella, whatever that may be.

Scandella, or something bigger?

The Beleskey-Pominville thing?

Moving Pominville could be nice, but I'd hope it's not for Belesky. That'd just be spreading the cap pain out while getting a less-productive player. I assume those discussions had more to do with moving his NMC before the expansion draft, which is moot now.

It seems to me that the Wild and Sabres may match up well if the Wild are still looking to trade Brodin, Dumba, or Scandella. The Sabres can offer some younger skilled forwards (players or prospects) in return.

I would think that Casey Mittelstadt in particular would have some marketability among Wild fans.

Yeah...no.

Think more Larsson and a 2nd for Scandella

has to be Scandella IMO.

Who said it had to be Mittelstadt for Scandella? What about a Brodin or Dumba with some tweaks on either side as needed.

Of course he would. I'm sure other teams would love to get Joel Eriksson-Ek as well.

 

[Sheppy]

I'm guessing Kulikov for Boston.

 

[Victorious Secret]

Please be for Pominville.

Interesting. I wonder if this means that a defenseman could absolutely possibly be traded in the next day or few days.

 

[jacketman10]

Middlestadt isn't going anywhere.

It does get tiresome

Still, on draft day they apparently had an offer from Boston (which included #18) that was rejected and one from Montreal (which included #25) that was accepted but later fell through because the Habs liked who was available at the pick. A trade with someone is probably imminent.

It definitely means that. I'd assume Scandella

 

[Goulet17]

Middlestadt isn't going anywhere.

Interesting, if I were in the Sabres position, I would not hesitate to Mittelstadt, or a Nylander, or even a Reinhardt as the principal piece in a trade to acquire a youngish top-4 defender.

I agree. Sabres are deep at center and could use these guys as trade pieces, but I think teams want to see how Mittelstadt plays in a bigger setting before they give up a top 4 dman for him. Reinhart is their best guy who could be traded for a top 4 dman

Scandella can probably be had for a decent prospect and a draft pick. I think we'd mostly want to shed cap and restock the pond a little with him.

Brodin's another story. Reinhart is the only thing that makes much sense at this point, and I know Buffalo fans dislike the idea (not without reason). I'm also not sure how keen the Wild would be on it. If the offer doesn't knock their socks off there's no reason to move Brodin when they can trade Scandella instead.

Dumba probably wouldn't interest either Boston or Buffalo too much, and would probably be even harder to pry than Brodin considering Minnesota's cap situation and RD depth.

 

[gdsmack267]

Scandella would be a good fit for Buffalo

 

[Sota Popinski]

Brodin for Reinhart

 

[Dr Quincy]

I'm guessing Kulikov for Boston.

1) He doesn't play for MIN so why would the Wild be talking about him with the Bruins.

2) He's not good

 

[Dogewow]

So is he saying that Minny isn't interested at all in Mittelstadt? Because that doesn't really make sense. Maybe as the main piece going back in a trade, but as part of a deal I don't see why they would have no interest. A young center prospect with good potential should really be on everyone's radar.

Brodin only goes for a big overpayment like Reinhart+ or else it really doesn't make any sense to move him. Likely looking at Scandella. Fletcher could be looking at moving him for picks or add something to him like a future 1st for Nylander.
