So just an FYI, the conditional 1st would be:
The guy you're replying to goes into every trade thread the Wild are involved in and says "this guy on the Wild isn't available." I'm not sure I've ever seen him admit to any Wild player being available for trade. I don't think he's representative of most Wild fans.
Russian players aren’t on the table point blank. Wild drafted these Russian players because not only because they are good but because of kaprizov. Wild can literally sign a free agent as the best writer made it clear wild plan on leaving space for their young players/ top prospects anyway.
Oh yeah you didn’t see what he posted. Philly fans can’t deal with not getting Yurov, or Marat but they are asking for faber & 1st and more lol read posts before attacking
I would like us to trade for Konecny, but am probably not willing to give the Godfather offer that it would take to convince Philly not to re-sign him if that was their otherwise preferred route.
Interesting, I assumed that the Wild would be in the business of adding players that could be extended starting in 2025-26 when the dead cap falls considerably. Not sure if Konecny is their guy but at 50% $2.75M in 2024-25 and an full price extension after that would make a lot of sense as a concept (from the outside).
Wild are still not giving up Brock faber, or Yurov or Marat. The 2024 1st could still be a lottery. Wild can easily get a top 4 winger in free agency this year for 1-2years deal. Good luck if your thinking wild or any team is giving up these players & or prospect
I wasn't talking about the trade return (I don't really care tbh, of course they wouldn't trade Faber) but just curious what the Wild have planned. We've never seen a team have their dead cap hit drop by the cost of a 1C in 1 season
Good players are moved all the time of non amazing returns when they stop becoming part of a team's plans (Reinhart, Fiala, Meier, Hertl and so on).
Okay keep him! Like the other Minnesota wild fans have said it’s not happening. It’s beyond absurd that once again HFBoards think a player is worth something he’s not especially with him due to become free agent and not as good fiala even
Minnesota Wild fans started this thread. We are not 'offering' TK, nor do I think Flyers management is. He will command a lot.
what's a "true" Flyers these days anyway? A 65 point player who plays with an attitude? Silly. Trade TK while they still can because he ain't worth what he's askin for. There are defensemen scoring nearly 100 points in today's game for cryin out loud...
No offense to the Flyers or Konecny but the purpose of waiting for the clean slate is to see what all is out there and possible. Maybe that is Konecny, maybe it isn’t.
Sadly, their plan for that cap space is re-signing the young players already on the team and in the system. That wouldn't be an issue if they hadn't re-signed all their 30+ year old grinders already, but now that cap that was going to be dropping off when those guys left this summer is instead tied up for the next 4 years. Faber's going to be getting a BIG raise, Rossi will be due a decent raise if he's not traded, Khusnutdinov and Wallstedt come due at that time too, but I have no idea what their deals will look like yet. There is also talk that Middleton will be re-signed this summer, and I expect that'll be $4M at 4 years of term,
