Proposal: Jared Spurgeon to his Hometown

[ConnorMcMullet]

A Right-handed defenseman in his prime, from Edmonton, with great skating and offensive instincts. He would really finish off their top 4 nicely:

Nurse - Spurgeon
Klefbom - Larsson

... is easily the best top 4 we've had in a decade, and probably a top 10 d-core in the entire league. He would also fill the 1PPQB role. Is this a fair offer?

Jesse Puljujarvi and the 10th Overall pick

for

Jared Spurgeon

This would also clear cap for them to sign Dumba and Zucker

A very respectable offer.

 

[Flyers Faithful]

If I were Minnesota I’d take this and run!

 

[nickschultzfan]

If I were Minnesota I’d take this and run!

I think it depends heavily on opinions of Pulj

 

[Bazeek]

Perfectly good offer. It might be a little risky to be realistic for Minnesota, but as a fan I'd be okay with it.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Too much. Pass from Edmonton.

I don't think it's that simple, when you factor in other considerations.

 

[Yamazaki]

... wait... an oilers fan created this proposal ????

 

[Tkachuky]

Holy cow that is a good offer... good job. Could end up being an overpayment but I say that is Very good offer.

 

[Gemel11]

If I was the wild I’d take that in a heartbeat. Jesus overpayment

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Spurgeon is worth more than Ellis whom everyone thinks requires more than 10th and Pul.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

That’s too much for me.

What would the + need to be to the OP to get Coyle or Nino back as well? I feel like OP is an overoffer for just Spurgeon.

Bear?

It's good value, but it's dicey for Minnesota if they don't want to make their team worse for next year. Losing Spurgeon blows a significant hole in the right side of our defense, and Puljujarvi is still a bit of an enigma.

The amount of cap we'd be sending to Edmonton means that it'd probably have to be a roster player, and I really don't know who that would be. What if Minnesota just added our 1st?

 

[VoluntaryDom]

This is... a surprisingly reasonable offer. A low end #1 dude in Spurgeon for a prospect with a super high ceiling and a decent lottery pick in a good draft. I like it. Wild may reject if they don’t wish to retool, and oilers may reject if they like the upside of puljujarvi too much, but yeah, good proposal.

 

[PuckInTheNards]

No real interest in Pulju. How about Spurgeon + Nino for RNH + 10

Edit: But I do think the original proposal was good and fair. I'm just low on Pulju and really really want RNH.

 

[Jared Dunn]

This is a decent offer, but I don't see any way it ends up a fair deal for both sides. Huge risk when it comes to what Pulju is going to become on both sides

 

[Deam78]

I don't think MIN is in a position to part ways with Spurgeon as they have an old enough core to try to compete for some more years and Spurgeon should be in that core.

But at the same time, it's such an overpayment in value that they should do it.

 

[Tkachuky]

It isn't overpayment. Neither of 10th overall or Pulju are proven commodities.

This is a lot closer than people will say.

Probably fairish, but we really can’t lose RNH.

Bear?

Would you take Jones or a ‘19 2nd instead?

We’re almost devoid of right handers until Berglund comes over.

Trading Spurgeon makes right-handers a need for us. We're sitting pretty heavy with left-handers at the moment (Suter, Brodin, Seeler, Olofsson, Soucy).

If you don’t mind waiting a year we could offer Berglund. He’s playing top pairing over in Sweden.

Yes you can, not that hard to find a LW for McDavid
