Proposal: Edmonton and Minny

[AKL]

Dame straight is it is my opinion. There was a thread on the main boards a few weeks ago and several Wild Fans though it was a fair deal... if the Wild decide to go in rebuild mode.

Brodin with extension does not give him full value. It improves his value slightly compared to one full year and then UFA. Wild get to change their 20-25 1st for a top 10 pick which the talent is very good and also get a late 2nd and late 4th.

I believe they might bite on that if they want to move in rebuild mode. Based on their GM willing to move Parise at the deadline and dealing with a potential $20M of cap recapture penalty, I do think they are thinking rebuild.

If Brodin's value is lower because he's a UFA, and Brodin having an extension in place doesn't give him full value, what does give him full value?

He can’t have full value until he’s on the Montreal roster. If they decide to Trade him then he has full value

 

[ConnorMcNugesaitl]

Its really not.

You have the Wild moving up 11 spots and trading one of their better defencemen who you've signed without paying for that pleasure.

It would cost Montreal a lot more than dropping 11 spots and two mediocre draft picks to get that done. You're trying to have your cake and eat it too.

Who has cake and doesn't eat it?

 

[Uberdachen]

Is this that thing? Edmonton cuts into Brodin and he’s cake?

Too much "extended Brodin" talk.

In the past, it was usually agreed that EDM and MN were bad trade partners. Sounds like it still is true, if not more so, with Spurgeon on a NMC and EDM drafting Broberg in the first round. I mean, MN would like Draisaitl, and EDM would like Fiala, but we know that's not gonna happen.

"It's all cake?"

"It always was"

 

[Gavy]

So Brodin for RNH again, for the 3rd year in the row?

How about figuring out another trade?

Believe it or not but not everybody is on here as often as you to see every trade proposed

im trying not to lose my shit on you for that last sentence

I think they meant that Edmonton is looking for a top line winger and Minnesota is looking for a top line center. Not Draisaitl for Fiala.

I mean, yeah, but even that sentence assumes the two are in the same solar system and they simply aren’t.

It really wasn't a comparison of players but a comparison of needs...

Coming here once a month and looking for MIN - EDM trade guarantees couple pages of Brodin RNH discussion.

That trade isn't happening.

 

[67Leafs67]

I've only looked at the first page, but man...is Brodin ever underrated. He might be the best defensive d-man in the entire NHL. He's 27, making $4.2M. I'm not saying Edmonton needs to trade for another defensive minded LD, but people in this thread need to appreciate how good Brodin is, and how valuable he is to Minnesota's overall defensive game. He's definitely not 3rd pairing on Edmonton though, lol.

Brodin is very good, I don't know why people are saying he isn't... but in terms of losing RNH, we'd be making a much bigger hole than the one Brodin would fill. Our D is very young but it's the best it's been since Pronger left.

For sure. RNH is a great player, and he fits really well in Edmonton's top six. Versatile, brings a defensively conscious presence + good finishing ability. I have nothing against Edmonton fans not liking the trade, it is more the ignorance about how good Brodin is that bugs me.

A lot of people still think Suter is our “shutdown d-man”. Hasn’t been for a couple years. Can’t expect everybody to know everything, especially when it comes to flyover country.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Edmonton doesn‘t need any D...

 

[thadd]

You can't honestly think that Brodin would play 3rd pair in Edmonton? Right?

He's not playing in front of Nurse or Klefbom.... so where do you think Edmonton would put him?
If we resigned him he'd probably get passed by Broberg within 2 years. So yeah, Brodin doesn't look all that appealing to Oil fans right now.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Y'all could just let the thread die. It's run it's course.

After watching EDM vs Chicago, I don’t know how you can say Brodin isn’t exactly what you need. He’d be the best Defenman on your team.

I watched your series with the Hawks. Jonas Brodin would be the best defenseman on your team in any and all situations.

 

[57special]

The fact that you don't think he should play ahead of Nurse or Klefbom shows how lost you are. Hopefully Broberg and Bouchard develop into something could, but I think EDM as whole has to realize that their team D as a whole sucks, and it matters. Even the 80's Oilers figured that out.
