Confirmed Trade: [NSH/MIN] Nick Bonino, 37th overall, 70th overall, for Luke Kunin and 101st overall

[Gurglesons]

37th pick, too.

Yeah, I said Bones and a 2nd.

 

[JoemAvs]

The commitment the Wild are showing to not picking a proper path and going hard for mediocrity is admirable...

 

[wedge]

I dont get the wild, to be honest. Are they rebuilding or patching?

 

[DeagleJenkins]

making room for our younger players to come in next year or two while adding a higher 2nd. kunin is decent but maybe he didnt wanna pay him moving forward?

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Really Bonino's gonna have negative value after 14th in Selke voting? Pretty sure preds can afford to retain 50% and get a 2nd for him.

Maybe Im undervaluing Kunin

 

[Sweech]

They must really love someone they want with that pick because otherwise this doesn't really seem to make any sense.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Kunin ain’t all that, for the people acting like this is some crazy robbery

Stil weird though.

22 year old heading towards a 20+20 season playing on a defensive line.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Bonino will get them another 2nd at the deadline too

 

[SoundAndFury]

Wild owe Preds for Fiala

It was supposed to be a terrible trade for the Wild a year ago so I don't think anybody owes anyone anything there.

 

[schnapshot]

What the hell is Guerin doing lmao

 

[Mick Jagr]

Bonino is in the final year of his deal, Guerin is familiar with what he can bring to a team and Minnesota needs legit centers. If he isn't playing in your top 6 then Minny got a solid player.

 

[DRAGO 18]

I am scratching my head at this from Minnesota's perspective.

 

[Merrrlin]

Wasn't expecting Kunin to get dealt but that's a pretty good return, I guess?

 

[Mickey Marner]

I thought Kunin was better tha Bonino?

Hence the picks to even out the value.

 

[King 88]

Wild valuing that 2nd rounder high or wtf?

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Solid tank move, Minne. Respect.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Shouldn't Sota be rebuilding?

ShOuLdN't SoTa Be ReBuIlDiNg

 

[kabidjan18]

Somehow I dont like this trade for either team.

 

[Bazeek]

I don't understand this at all unless it's groundwork for something crazy later on. And even then I don't get what dropping Kunin for an expiring Bonino does.

 

[542365]

I never really understand what Minnesota is doing.

 

[vanarchy]

ShOuLdN't SoTa Be ReBuIlDiNg

That's what I said.

 

[SFKingshomer]

I like it for the Wild pending who they pick.

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

This actually gives me hope that JV + LE could net a late 2nd in value.

 

[LMFAO]

Why would Minny give up on Kunin?

 

[Mobiandi]

Nashville is the most confusing team in the league
