Confirmed with Link: Kunin and #101 for Bonino, #37 and #70

[ThatGuy22]

well if your bringing up the past we lost 2 players instead of one last ED so explain what is your point? ps its not my fault our gm at the time didn't plan better for ED.

But now your complaining our GM is planning better for expansion?

Make up your mind (or think more critically)...

 

[AKL]

Why?

High end futures. Keep trading middle six players for futures and you keep getting middle six players at the draft. High first or blue chip center prospect actually might get you a top 6 center.

Plus there's really no need to keep him. We have a few options for RD that are mostly NHL ready, can use the cap space too.

 

[DANOZ28]

We still have 9 million in capspace. We could trade Dumba for McDavids 12 million dollar salary and still make the cap work.

Its a non issue.

WRONG its an issue what happens if kaprizov has a monster season and wants huge $$$$$$ better have the cap space to sign him right?

 

[ThatGuy22]

unless we extend them they won't even be up for the ED since they would be UFAs.

In theory Seattle could want Bonino and sign him, which would count as our expansion pick.

If.

Well its a good thing Bonino's and Mojo's contract will be expired, and we won't be spending 2.5 million on Kunin then...

I think you're angry, and posting nonsense that you haven't thought out... or worse you have thought out.

really? huh, TIL. I thought UFAs were exempted from the draft.

He won't get a huge mega deal. He just won't.

He may have a good season, I don't see him lighting it up and getting 80 points.

And I don't see him asking for 8.5 million.

UFAs aren't exempt but each team has to expose a certain number of guys that are under contract for the following season

 

[ThatGuy22]

They don't need to be protected. But with the Vegas draft, there was a signing period exclusively for Vegas where if they signed one of your Free Agents, that was their pick.

That's technically what happened with Haula. He signed as a Restricted Free Agent.

at times posters here make no sense , especially if i disagree with a move a gm makes. must be age gap.

[Soldier13Fox]

LMAO Dish, that's a great find.

 

[2Pair]

kunin was better than JEE , sorry if that hurts posters feelings that bought his jersey. if healthy kunin will consistantly score 20 for smashville.

This is a terrible take

 

[SMTHook]

LMAO Dish, that's a great find.

This will never get old nor leave my mind as long as he's on the Wild. "I need Bonino" will be a common lyric from the couch. This makes a good trade great!

 

[fentonsbrainchild]

nope not me, JEE isnt that good ask any non wild fan

You’ve had a lot of bad opinions today but this one does it for me.

The fans that watch JEE the least know his value compared to Kunin the best?

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

I'm going to be completely blunt, Guerin was a great player and seems like a great guy but he's a total meathead who has no business being a General Manager.

 

[MuckOG]

What about this trade bothers you?

 

[grimmel95]

I'm going to be completely blunt, Guerin was a great player and seems like a great guy but he's a total meathead who has no business being a General Manager.

why because he's building the team that HE thinks will win vs what you think? I forgot that you're the GM for the Wild and you know best.

 

[thestonedkoala]

What about this trade bothers you?

I think other teams are afraid that the Wild actually have a competent GM for once and making moves not to improve the team, but also a few seasons ahead.

 

[Drewcifer]

A lot of Guerin's moves have looked kind of random when taken in isolation but when you look at it as a whole you can see the plan behind it. We might not be very good next year, but I think after that we will be on a path to success with a solid D, good young forwards and no major losses in the expansion draft. Right now he is just getting rid of the pieces that don't fit that plan. If the Wild don't make the playoffs next year they could get a pile of picks and prospects from moving Foglino, Bonino, Johansson, Greenway, and Hartman at the trade deadline. That plus our defense and the players in the pipeline is the foundation of a good team.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

At face value, I was ambivalent to this trade. Like Kunin a lot, but the value seemed fair. After our picks, I like the trade quite a bit. It does leave me a bit more confused with the Staal trade, but oh well. Figure out our goalie situation and I like where this team is sitting.
