News: Russo: Guerin looking to make significant moves

[member 290103]

Brandon Sutter would be a huge addition for Minny.

Brandon Sutter would be a huge addition for Minny.

Correct. Maybe some minor adjustments...
Sutter and Pettersson for Rask and a 1st.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Sure, but Dumba is only going for a top 6 center, so you may not like the return

I'll only take Brodin.

 

[BB88]

No way he can move Parise.

I think Koivu should be traded to either Tampa, Boston, Washington or Pittsburgh. Would think Pittsburgh is the best fit.

Boston doesn’t have room for Koivu

 

[Bazeek]

I'll only take Brodin.

The Leafs run into the same problem there, and LeBrun and Russo have hinted that Brodin might be the more expensive of the two.

 

[Prior]

It feels like Brodin for Trocheck as a base is there if both teams want it. Vegas seems to be clearing some room so maybe they take a run at Dumba/Brodin? Have a couple younger centers that may entice the Wild depending on what the entire return is.

The Wild would likely move Koivu with retention for a mid pick if he agrees to go. To who, I don’t know.

The Islanders are supposedly interested in Parise again but I have no idea what that would look like. I cannot fathom how that would make sense for the Wild now or down the road but who knows.

Beyond that, I don’t see anything else of substance that moves the needle. I think a lot of teams would give up good assets for Foligno but ultimately they likely view him as needed in the room next year if they are going to shake things up. Galchenyuk maybe gets flipped again for, something? Donato seems like a solid enough flier for a team to take a chance on for very little that has more control than a pending UFA.

All in all, I don’t see the Wild moving Brodin/Dumba right now unless they get what they need at the center spot to build around. It doesn’t feel like Guerin will tear it all down by Monday but we’ll see.

 

[bernmeister]

someone, somewhere, said there is ONE team interested in parise and if they sell this to him like "okay buddy, get ready to spend the next seven years of your life in the bottom fifth of the league" he might waive. but if he decides he doesn't like the new place either and just retires we would be sooooooo boned.

you will likely eventually have compliance buyout

other option is if he retires
you tack on a few mil and give him a multi (10) yr consultancy gig [no/minimal show] in lieu of the contract

 

[bernmeister]

Rangers in on Greenway at the right price

 

[pld459666]

Parise has SIX more years left after this year at 35. Unless Minnesota's eating a chunk who realistically wants to take that on for a late 30s player at $7.5 mil and has an extensive injury history

Minnesota can eat 50% and that's still a contract no one will want

 

[elitepete]

Gaudette+Dipietro+Juolevi for Brodin.

 

[Bazeek]

Nothing that wasn't said in the radio interview, but it's in print here.

• Team has an understanding with Koivu that he'll come to them if he's comfortable waiving. Russo seems to think it'd have to be for a contender, which seems unlikely. I kind of wonder if he wouldn't waive for Fletcher's Flyers, though.
• There's an Eastern Conference team (rumored to be the Islanders) that's at least sniffing around Parise, who's previously expressed concern about sticking with the team if they go into any kind of rebuild.
• Doesn't sound like he wants to trade either Brodin or Dumba, but is listening if someone's willing to move a 1C or 2C+.
• They've expressed interest in Trocheck, but if Brodin has to go the other way Guerin would likely want more coming back with Trocheck.
• Teams have interest in Foligno. Donato's been in and out of the lineup. Galchenyuk's the only expiring UFA besides Koivu.

Here's what is going to happen:

Vegas sends 1st + B prospect for Barrie and and re-signs him on the spot 7M x 5y.

Toronto uses Vegas's first + Robertson to trade for Jeff Petry.

Montreal trades Domi for Dumba.

Minny extends Domi 6 M x 6y.

It's the busiest deadline ever.

Zero chance the TML trade Robertson.

Second, Petry is not what we need although a fine player.

If the TML do trade Barrie, happy to do that for the first plus then we would flip that first plus additional picks or players not named Liljegren, Sandin, Robertson, Abramov.

I would be willing to trade Dermott as part of a package that gets us a controlled under 30 RHD that can play top 4. I don’t mean a fringe top 4 either.

Only problem here is I don't see any team trading a top 4 RHD with term only for a late first + spare parts. Maybe Vegas's first + Toronto's 2021 first or 2 x 2nd (ex: Harmonic trade) for a team in full rebuild.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

They won last night.

Time to add.

 

[Love]

Dumba+Hartman

for

Gaudette+Stecher+Juolevi+2021 2nd

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Sure, but Dumba is only going for a top 6 center, so you may not like the return

Well it was fun having Auston Matthews I guess.

 

[Bazeek]

Dumba+Hartman

for

Gaudette+Stecher+Juolevi+2021 2nd

It has to be a better center than Gaudette.

 

[57special]

Will VAN fans get it through their head that MN doesn't want Stecher? He's a decent Dman, but MN has guys in the AHL who need big league time.

 

[TML1967]

I wonder if the Leafs are more interested in Stall/Koivu than Brodin/Dumba because of price.

 

[Love]

It has to be a better center than Gaudette.

Just curious.. how good of a centre do you think Dumba can fetch? Just my opinion but I don’t think he can fetch a 1C. What is an example of a centre that you think is realistic?

That’s fine but obviously with the conditions on our 2020 1st it may be an issue.

Basically I would be looking at something like this if we were to get the Vegas first plus.

Manson or Dumba

for

TML
2020 1st from Vegas
Dermott-Redundant as Sandin will be our 3rd pairing LHD
2020 nd becomes a 2021 first if the TML reach the ECF
pkus if the team wants Bracco maybe the conditions are waived.

 

[BlackBusa24]

Brandon Sutter would be a huge addition for Minny.

For the love of God please stop with this

 

[Love]

Brandon Sutter would be a huge addition for Minny.

Lmao

 

[Pens x]

Smart move by Billy G to tear it down.

 

[Kranix]

Imagine he tears it down and they squeak into the wild card
