Value of: Minnesota's Abundance of LWers (to your team)

[2Pair]

I’d like Zucker on Dallas. Could use his speed on the left wing. Our first and a roster player?

Hintz?

 

[Bazeek]

Alex Nylander for Zucker? Greenway and Foligno offer elements Buffalo needs, but I'm looking at a way to replace Sheary in the lineup.

I'm very leery of Nylander, but if Fenton wants younger, talented forwards that haven't gotten prime NHL opportunities yet it does make some sense.

8th OA for 12 OA + Zucker/Donato/Fiala

Not a chance.

A little bit concerning that Buffalo has no secondary scoring to speak of and Nylander still isn't getting a shot. 31 points in 49 games in the AHL doesn't exactly scream NHL scorer either.

I'd still do it for Zucker then.

On a side note, has Donato played as well as his statline suggests? He's a player I really wanted the Oilers to trade for when he was on Boston.

He always seems to be getting and generating chances. I wouldn't count on him being a point per game guy in the future, but he definitely deserved most of the points he got. Felt like he was a bit snakebit as far as goals go though.

Very concerning, but he also seems like a guy that's done a little better in his very brief NHL time, so I'm not sure what to think. I'm not eager to gamble on a change of scenery doing him good, but I can't shake the feeling that it might.

6 points in 19 career games, I wouldn't exactly go writing letters home about what he's done in the NHL. He's basically his brother but worse in every way. Hard pass on that one unless we're giving up pennies on the dollar.

Would you do something like Canucks 10th + Gaudette + Virtanen for your 12th and Zucker?

I would do that as well, yes

Minnesota is currently stacked at the left wing position. They currently have Parise (NMC), Fiala, Donato, Zucker, Greenway, and Foligno. Not to mention Staal, Koivu(NMC), Rask, and Eriksson Ek are all lefties as well. Also, Minnesota's top prospect, Kirill Kaprizov, is yet another leftie even though he might prefer the right side. Minnesota's right handed forwards include Kunin, Brown, and Aberg (RFA, likely not coming back).

What would you offer for the following players in terms of draft picks and/or right handed prospects/roster players? I'll include the best offers in the op after a bit.

Fiala -
Donato -
Zucker -
Greenway -
Foligno -
Eriksson Ek -
Rask -

Greenway for Madden?

Greenway for Madden?

Lol. Really?

Greenway for Madden?

Dislike.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Considering the deadline rumors that probably gets it done.

Rumoured price is a first?

Hintz?

Probably a fair ask, but we have no one to replace Hintz at 2C.

Granlund back for Fiala pls

I can’t believe that I’m saying this, but no. I think Fiala could be a good one if he figures out how to try and do less, and Granlunds play for the last half of the season was frightening.

 

[traffic cone]

Fiala's game is already better than Granlund's. Consistancy is what is missing.

Fiala’s game might be better than what Granlund’s game is RIGHT NOW. ”Already” is not the correct term here, as development paths are not linear.

Fiala’s playing the best he’s ever played. Granlund’s having one of the worst stretches of his career.

Fiala’s level of play (the best that he’s shown) is still far from the best Granlund has shown.

Like the other poster said earlier: it’s more likely Granlund returns back to being his usual self than Fiala ever reaching that level.

His production, AHL and NHL, is similar to Kunin. If they would do Nylander for Zucker I guess I’d be fine with it. I mean there’s definite top 6 right shot forward potential there. The kid is 20 and plays a skill game. I wouldn’t want to do it, naturally, but knowing what Fenton will likely do and that Zucker is a goner, I’m fine with it.

He was the other poster you’re referring to. Not sure what you’re trying to argue

 

[Americanadian]

Greenway+ 2nd for Kapanen or Greenway+Kaprizov for Nylander.

No, 57special was the poster I was referring to. I quoted the one who quoted him. My argument is pretty clear if you read my post.

Fiala was not playing “the best he’s ever played”
