[tt77]

not a wild fan but wtf is this LMAO

 

[TwiztedHeat]

Organize a group to go beat the phone out of Fenton's hand? My 5 year old could do better work than this twat!

 

[AJ Thelen]

f*** off Fenton.

f***ing idiot.

 

[BigT2002]

This is the first time in 10 years I've emailed my ticket rep demanding to know what the front office is doing. This can't be to clear "cap space" unless they plan on landing Duchene or something next year. It can't be.

 

[TheeNorthStar]

And I’m a fan of Fiala but good gracious. Wow. Unbelievable.

 

[Drewcifer]

Fenton needs to be fired.

 

[GREMLIN]

Holy shit that's terrible, feel for you guys.

 

[Nsjohnson]

I just...one for one?

Granlund points 4 years ago:

68 games 8+31 = 39 points

Fiala last year 80 games 23+25= 48 points

I'm clinging to this.

 

[TwiztedHeat]

Can't wait to hear Russo and all the others try to defend this shit. Anyone claiming this was even an ok trade is a f***ing moron.

Family has had tickets since 2002. If Fenton doesn't pull a rabbit out of his hat and shows direction this summer AND they don't raise the prices...he may become the reason we give them up at the pace he's going.

Even if Fiala ends up being as good as Granlund Fenton needed to get something extra for taking on the risk that he doesn't. That's how every one of these young-guy for established-player trades works. Instead he got fixated on a guy he "likes," but is currently a substantially worse player.

But he did save some cap space that we don't need, so that's a plus.

 

[SupremeNachos]

I don't know if I'm going to go that far, but somehow the Twins front office is looking like the 2nd coming of *insertamazinggmofanysport*

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

I don’t even know what to say anymore. I thought that I was going to be disappointed when we got just Fiala and a 1st. He is either really embracing the tank or he thinks he can sign every free agent available this summer. And for the life of me trade staal you reckless bafoon.

 

[SMTHook]

You guys just can't see it. Fenton is Bobby Fischer. He can see ten moves ahead. He's positioning the Wild for a high draft pick. Next year the number one will be ours. The Russian arrives and we have the number 1, another high draft pick, the youthful sniper, the Finnish wall......We better tank and tank hard! Lol. I miss my guy Coyle.

Yeah. He has made 3 major trades, and has gotten the current worse player back 100% time, and to show for it all, we have either a single 4th or 5th round pick.

 

[Caior89]

Being away from this board for a long time but always watching closely the wild. Just had to find a place to say WTF was this trade??? Can't find words.. Fenton surely does look like he as strong ties with Nashville.

Something has to give.

Spot on. That’s the thing. I’m excited to see Fiala here but the severe lack of return on all three of his trades have been demoralizing.

 

[keppel146]

Worse than awful. Fire Fenton. Blinded by his emotions.

 

[absolute garbage]

Here's a real funny thing:

Nashville traded 24 y/o Hartman (10G 10A this season) and a 4th rounder to Philly for over-the-hill rental Simmonds who has pathetic 27 points this season.

Nashville traded 22 y/o Fiala (10G 22A this season) to Minnesota one-for-one for non-rental in his prime Granlund who has 49 points this year.

That's actually unbelievable. The difference in what Nashville gave away is kinda small, but the difference between Granlund and Simmonds is otherworldly. Fletcher made a great deal, Fenton is such a f***ing moron.

 

[Ainec]

I wonder if Nucks fans would part with Benning

I'd rather keep Benning because you've gotta think after 5 years his leash is short

I feel bad for y'all though

Shit. That's hard to look at presented like that.

 

[nstarjim]

Dear Fenton please leave town now!

It's that Fenton is a f***ing idiot and shouldn't be in charge of a hockey team.

 

[MNWILDFAN001]

I think Fenton is really just an agent for Nashville. He's infiltrated the Wild organization to make our team worse and help the Preds

 

[Lapa]

Enough with the flaming. Last and only warning.
