Confirmed with Link: Marcus Johansson to the Wild for Eric Staal

[TaLoN]

No, Guerin thinks Johansson can be a center. We’re rolling:
Johansson
Ek
Bjugstad
Sturm

next year

Still early, the cup finals haven't even started yet.

 

[AKL]

What is this Wild obsession with Marcus’s...Marcii?...Marcuses?... from the Sabres?

I'm more worried about guys named Johansson

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Going for Raty

Yuuuuuuck I hate this a lot

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

My only guess is that Guerin didn't like the effect that Staal had on the locker room. Even then, there have to be better trades available than Marcus Johansson

Yea no, Staal is loved there. Everyone who’s worked with him speaks highly, one person went as far as to say he’s one of the greatest people you’ll ever meet.

i want off Mr. Bones Wild Ride.

 

[CROCODILE SEATS]

This is awful. Tank must be starting

Just wait until 2024

Son of a B! Kinda happy about downgrading the season tickets to a smaller package.

 

[Minnesnota]

If Guerin did this to help out Buffalo's internal cap then he should be fired immediately. There absolutely has to be more coming down the pipeline in a separate trade or this is bullshit.

 

[Spurgeon]

Wow, this one might be worse than any trade Fenton made. How the f*** do we give up the better player and take on more cap? Staal was committed to signing here cheap and he would've been a perfect player to re-sign after next season. What a dumb f***ing move.

I can live with it. I just want to know where my mind needs to be. Am I in a tanking more this year or not? Guerin’s playing with my emotions

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Does Russo know what he just typed there?

Finally joined those of us in 11 game packs?

 

[Prior]

Staal was extremely painful to watch at times last year. Especially trying to keep up with Fiala. But this is nonsensical.

Even if there is something else coming down the pike it’s 1) lunacy and 2) doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies on what exactly that is.

Honestly we have two first round picks, unless Guerin makes a big play that I can be happy with, I'm full on tank mode this year. If only out of spite.

 

[Wild11MN]

Uh... what the hell? Just a precursor to another one?

 

[Michoulicious]

That is GODAWFUL.

 

[TheSauceBoss]

Awful trade.

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Excuse me?

 

[HotDish]

?

4.5 million cap hit but only owed 1.25 million in real cash.

edit: never mind, check cap friendly and that doesn’t look the case. I’m confused too.

 

[2Pair]

Does Johansson speak Russian?

After 18 years with full season...yeah...we scaled back for numerous reasons. Feels strange. Hate that we had to switch seats though. Loved our location.

We mind as well move Dumba for futures at this point. Jeez. I’m floored.

The 2nd part. Acquiring a guy to play center, after he moved to center and his season didn't go well. It's a weird "defense" of a move.

 

[AKL]

If we're in the business of moving players for futures, I know a 50 point top 6 center with one year on his 3M contract that could probably fetch a decent piece...
