Minnesota Wild General Discussion VIII

[2Pair]

Yeah, Spurgeon is a 5 x $5 player at best.

yeah, it was either 5x5 or 7.5x7 there's nothing in between those two options

 

[Grover]

I prefer owners that want to win. The Twins could do with one.

It's funny you say that because the Twins and the Wild are polar opposites..but at the same time so connected..

Wild owner wants to win so bad that he cant stand the fact that the wild would suck for a year.. which they should do this year.. legit.

Twins owners wanna just make money..and this f***ing sucks because they have the best team of the Minnesota teams,, but they wont do anything to make it better..

All I want is a realistic owner and where their product is

Well, when you use the word "way" (twice) it sure ain't 6 years and it sure ain't $7.4 million is it?

 

[AKL]

Spurgeon’s contract is not the reason this team is dogshit right now.

Spurgeon looking like a $7M player to you? Maybe he'll look better in 7 years?

Hextall told him it needed a rebuild, and didn't get hired. I've been a Leipold supporter for the most part, but he has got face facts, if the Wild don't turn it around by Christmas...remember, STL was a laughingstock for the first part of last year .

He sure did when he signed the contract.

Is anybody looking like a $4 million player?

Hunt, tbh

The Wild are going to suck this year, we all can see that. That doesn't mean that should automatically be the expectation next year. We have talent in this organization, we have a very good top 4 on defense. An influx of skilled and creative forwards could inject a lot of life into the Stanley Cup outlook very quickly.

That and we need goaltending changes next year too.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Hunt, tbh

Then we're fine. Spurgeon is "earning" Hunt's money, and Hunt is "earning" Spurgeon's. Zero sum game.

Source?

I'm not against trading one of the top 4D, but it will be plugging one hole in a dike while opening another. Can Dumba really get us a #1C? I don't think so. Maybe a guy like Johansen/Nylander, at best. If we get a C like him(not saying him specifically, but that tier of player), are we any further ahead?

 

[2Pair]

He sure did when he signed the contract.

nope

I wish someone was earning the other 75M.

 

[Wabit]

Spurgeon has a longer shelf life and can come in handy again if we can get back on track next season.

Zucc was 31 when he signed this deal, Spurgeon will be 30 when his kicks in. Both of the deals are way too long and for too much money.

 

[2Pair]

Is anybody looking like a $4 million player?

No, and there aren't many guys on the roster that I want to keep around for 8 more years either

 

[TaLoN]

7years for Spurgeon was too long, I agree.

Zuccarello felt like a necessity if our forwards were going to have a chance after giving away Granlund. That's backfiring.

The women's pro hockey team is the best team in MN...

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Spurgeon being too long has nothing to do with the first 4 games of this season. It's a bridge to cross in 5 years.

 

[Grover]

Can't believe the game thread got locked.. is there no conversation to be had? Or any conversation that involves disagreement....come on now

The conversation isn't about 4 games.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

So I watched on delay because of the Florida/LSU game, and the GDT was closed for some reason (has to be a record; didn't read through it), but was the Foligno goal that was waived off legit?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

The conversation isn't about 4 games.

His contract hasn't even kicked in yet, so I don't really know what the conversation is about.
