Hi all,
Not a Wild fan myself but was talking with a friend about NY (he is a Rangers fan) about a potential offseason deal.
The Wild have $16.2M next offseason but have a lot of depth. They have 4 good defenseman, with Suter having a NMC. Brodin only has one year left after the playoffs, could he be available? Spurgeon was just extended and Dumba is one year younger with more term. So I assume he’s exposed in the draft?
Minnesota traded away Zucker so I assume they are still re-tooling?
We also talked about the Rangers targeting Joel Eriksson-Ek. I don’t know if he’s protected or not. I don’t know where he’s valued among Donato, Greenway, Kunin, etc.
So the two main pieces are Brodin and Eriksson Ek.
The Wild need a goalie and a young goalie so Georgiev seemed like a perfect fit. The Rangers have a plethora of forwards, maybe Vitali Kravstov? He is talented and expansion exempt. The Rangers also have some good defense prospects, so Zac Jones (whose stock has been rising). The Rangers are a fringe team but need some cap relief.
Brendan Smith has 1 year left and is UFA in 2021. His salary basically equals Brodins 4.35 to 4.17). The Rangers also can add a conditional 2nd? Becomes a first if they make the playoffs?
To summarize,
Brodin + Eriksson Ek
for
Kravstov/Jones + Georgiev + Smith + 2nd/1st
I think if Brodin extends before trade, the Wild could pull both Jones and Kravstov.
Let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
