My guess/fear is if JR went down that path we'd end up with Shattenkirk instead.What about a trade with the Rangers swapping Kessel & stuff for Kreider & stuff?

I truthfully don't think I ever turned negative. I just don't like the optics. The one thing I love is that I sold my soul for 3 Cups and it's gravy from here.
But I do love the idea that they are finally preaching it. SO GET OFF ME>
Kahun is a new forward.
Kessel for Zucker is another new forward.
Done and Done.
JJ has the #6 minutes of the D as JR continues to try and trade him..............
........unless he improves on last year substantially
Gotcha I thought it was just a typo and was just Phil.
EDIT: I did hear some info (twitter guy seems like he has legit sources - not to the like the TSN guys though) about Phil that he would also go to Vegas (we knew that already), Chicago and LA. Not sure if there are potential deals there.
I like Colin Miller a lot. I always wondered if I was in the minority.
Prime age for the human body is more like 22-27 I believe.
No way an 18 year old is at their peak physical stature or performance.
Oh yeah. This will be a crazy free agency. I bet Panarin ends up a Ranger.July 1st will be fun
This summarizes JJ’s Islanders series:
****ing moron.
Also I don't want JR clearing any cap until Simmonds has been signed by another team.
Those are pretty specific expectations.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but there's got to be a decent chance he's a bit better. That was his worst relative numbers ever and a car wreck of a season for everyone. Normally that's a situation when you bet on the rebound.
Problem is he can rebound a fair amount and still be the worst dman on the team...
Yohe's article from yesterday quelled any fears I had about them signing someone like Perry or Simmonds. No way that happens at this point.
My expectations for the next 3 days are one of 2 things. They either trade Kessel for Zucker, or they trade Kessel to Arizona for futures and then trade futures for the RFA rights of someone like Labanc, Heinen, Connor, Bennett or Kapanen. They do that plus trading Rust or Bjugstad for futures and bring in a cheaper forward (either a RFA or a younger UFA) to replace whichever of Rust or Bjugstad they trade.
If it’s for Zucker, Wild have also talked to Anders Lee too (he’s from Minnesota too).
Agree on Panarin.Oh yeah. This will be a crazy free agency. I bet Panarin ends up a Ranger.
Sid was a freak of nature at 18.
Look at Hughes, he is a little boy at 18.
I'm surprised Austin Matthews was NHL ready at 18 same I feel about Hughes.
18 is a rough age for NHL competition I agree. It is prime age for getting the body ready for an NHL career though
God I wish we could take a stab at Gardiner. He's exactly what we need. Fast PMD with considerable offensive flair and a few strong years left. Playoffs aside, he's become a pretty capable defender too over the last few seasons. Wonder what the price tag is?
People get so mad when I suggest Jack Hughes may not be ready for a full 82 games in the NHL this season.
Kappo Kakko, on the other hand...

OK, so let me pour some cold water on this Kessel trade thing. First, if the Wild are signing Anders Lee (a goal-scorer), why would they still want Kessel? Seems to me they have moved on and are looking at other options. Secondly, apparently Fenton has cooled on the idea of trading Zucker now. Probably because his market was not there (aside from the Kessel thing).
He wants to go to Arizona, who have zero interest, or stay here.
I gotta believe JR and co. have moved on as well and are now looking at other trade options.

Kessel already rejected the trade to Minn. Rutherford confirmed that. It's not happening for sure.OK, so let me pour some cold water on this Kessel trade thing.
