Confirmed Trade: [BUF/MIN] Scandella, Pominville, 4th Round Pick for Ennis, Foligno, 3rd Round Pick

[blackrock]

Sounds like its going to be Scandella for picks/prospects/young forwards.

Scandella for a 2d and one of Bailey/Baptiste/Fasching?

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I don't know why you're bothering to trade any defensemen, but if you are, you're getting fair value.

Wild need to move some salary, not take more on. Add in that Kane is bomb waiting to go off and this does not work.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Why would it make sense to move Scandella but not Brodin?

4 year age difference, and Brodin's better.

Ideally he's the one you keep, unless the return for Brodin is massive.

Can't say I'd be happy about it, but if it let's us get Nino/Granlund locked up long term and do whatever else we need to in terms of free agents...sure. Hopefully Fletcher can do better.

 

[57special]

Scandella, or something bigger?

The Beleskey-Pominville thing?

would be awful hockey wise, but i can see the logic cap wise for the Wild.

So now your expectation is that every poster read every post of every thread before commenting less they insult you by not knowing your entire post history. Give me a break. What is your problem?

It's less than 2 pages of posts, god forbid you take a minute to read them before you get on your jump to conclusions mat.

 

[BB88]

In Boston's case I can see Minnesota taking one of McQuaid or Miller back. With Folin gone I think Fletcher's looking to add a big, vet RD to play with Olofsson on the bottom pairing anyway, so getting one back in trade might be a better option than free agency.

Not saying that's how it would happen, but it makes some sense.

That brings very little cap help for Minnesota.

I think in that instance Fletcher would want someone like Frederic on top of Mcquaid for Scandella.

Well, at risk of a hard no, let's play around a little:

Kane (50% retained)
Mittelstadt

for

Brodin
Pominville

You dump salary overall this year and next.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

No thanks on Scandella. You can keep him for the value it will cost to attain him. He's not worth it. We have enough bad contracts.

 

[BusQuets]

I'm guessing protected 1st round pick from Buffalo is the best Fletcher can get for Scandella right now. From value standpoint that's an easy win for Buffalo but when cap is what it is, there's not much you can do.

It still doesn't make sense for MIN. They don't have a need for another LW.

 

[BusQuets]

You clearly haven't seen him play. Easily the 2nd best defenseman in your team.

 

[57special]

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.

I've heard this a couple of times about him. Surprising, but if anyone would know CM, the Wild would. I also think the Wild would want someone playing in the NHL if Brodin is going.

 

[Bazeek]

That brings very little cap help for Minnesota.

It does, so it depends on what Granlund/Nino actually sign for and what else Fletcher wants to do this offseason. After trading Scandella we'd still need:

- 4th line center and LW
- backup goalie
- bottom-pairing RD
- extra forward (?)

The bottom-pairing RD is probably the most expensive one to fill via free-agency, so we might be looking at $2m-ish regardless. Maybe Boston retains $500k-$1m or something and Minnesota adds a 4th? I dunno.

Yeah, top 4 LHDs on $4mil contracts through the age of 30 are cancerous....

You need centers and dumping salary, I'm hearing?

 

[TwiztedHeat]

You need centers and dumping salary, I'm hearing?

Right handed shot forwards (center or RW), cap relief, and prospects/picks would be the goals.

 

[Bazeek]

Kane (50% retained)

Maybe the only thing the Wild would have less interest in than 1 year of Evander Kane is using Brodin to dump Pominville's salary.

 

[pigpen65]

How about a draft pick to Buffalo and you stop asking us about Kane?

No deal. Now take Kane.

PROJECTED CAP SPACE : $13,441,409

8F/5D/2G.

Nino& Granlund could take 11-12M from that already on their own.

With Bostons C prospects I wouldn't give up Frederic today.

 

[I Like Eich]

After reading through the board & my own personal thoughts...


To Minnesota: Alex Nylander, BUF 2018 3rd

To Buffalo: Marco Scandella, conditional MIN 2018 1st
*condition - If MIN misses playoffs & 2018 1st is in the lottery, regardless of where pick lands, pick changes to MIN 2019 1st

Without adding Senyshyn or Frederic, it doesn't make sense for MN to move Scandella for Mcquaid+
