McKenzie: Lots of Jonas Brodin trade talk coming out of Twin Cities

[Amadeus]

Yup, additional rules are here.

Good stuff. Montreal is not playing. If they bring back Radulov, watch out!

 

[Yatzhee]

That guy is with The Fourth Period, so I wouldn't consider him too legit...

If we move Galchenyuk for Brodin alone I will be furious...use Galchenyuk as centre here or as part of a package for a 1st line centre. Please!

Move picks/prospects/wingers for Brodin if need be.

Is that the same guy from the fourth period who said Buffalo and Montreal were talking? That guys never correct if its him.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Russo says two sources, one from MTL, say there is no deal in place for Brodin right now. Not that he won't get traded before the freeze, but as of now there is no deal.

surprise surprise

Looks like Minnesota is losing Brodin for nothing then.

 

[Lapa]

Russo is on KFAN in a few minutes to talk about the Wild, by the way.

 

[Freudian]

Minnesota might have reached an agreement with Vegas to not pick Brodin.

They could do like many other teams: just offer something else to LV to not take him in the draft.

Makes lots of sense.

 

[Keep Sorokin Me Babe]

Minnesota might have reached an agreement with Vegas to not pick Brodin.

Probably means Minny is giving up their 2018 first then

 

[Hoser67]

The longer this goes makes me feel like the Wild are making a deal with Vegas. If Brodin is indeed who Vegas wants, does Vegas make a deal with the Wild to secure Brodin? This might be the best asset management the Wild can hope for. This way they keep 4 of their top 5 D and free up over 4 Million to sign RFAs. If they got an asset back for losing an inevitable player I see it as a bonus.

 

[1909]

Scandella is not that great and makes huge salary for what he brings to the table.

If it's the price to pay to keep a good top-four !

 

[Beerz]

So then Vegas just takes Dumba?

 

[Lapa]

Scandella is not that great and makes huge salary for what he brings to the table.

He had a meh year, but he was probably our best player in the playoffs.

 

[Schm9311]

Scandella + Tuch to Vegas for not selecting Brodin/Dumba?

 

[MNRube]

Scandella and Haula to LVK for a 2017 3rd and TVR.

Suter-Spurgeon
Brodin-Dumba
Reilly/Olofsson-TVR

 

[Lapa]

Scandella + Tuch to Vegas for not selecting Brodin/Dumba?

In that case, I'd rather just lose Brodin/Dumba. I'd like to see what Tuch can bring.

 

[MNRube]

Scandella + Tuch to Vegas for not selecting Brodin/Dumba?

I think it will be Scandella and one of Tuch, Greenway, Haula or a pick.

 

[forthewild]

Scandella + Tuch to Vegas for not selecting Brodin/Dumba?

Scandella and Haula or something would be more realistic, they get a good young Dman and a good young Center

 

[Schm9311]

I'd would like to replace Tuch with Haula, just not sure Haula adds enough value for Vegas not to select one of Brodin/Dumba. Always a chance they could select Staal and flip him to a team looking for cheap center help.

 

[Minnesota]

Looks like Minnesota is losing Brodin for nothing then.

Smarter move than trading Brodin for a bad return, then having Vegas snatch Dumba.
