Andreas Johnsson

I'm not against trading Foligno, but part of the point in trading him would be to ease our logjam at LW. Spending a 2nd to turn him into Johnsson doesn't make any sense. Foligno at least has a role as a penalty killer and physical bottom-6'er.

 

[ThatGuy22]

I honestly can't see any reason for Minnesota to do this. Wild need to get rid of Wings, trading a LW + a high pick for a LW does nothing for us.

Johnsson has more offense but not by a ton (granted he's playing with Mathews and Nylander), Foligno is much better defensively. In terms of total value, evolving-hockey's WAR has Foligno has more valuable both of the past two seasons. He's a bit younger but not what I would consider a young player, but we've got plenty of young wings.

What's your argument for any incentive for the Wild to do this? I'm coming up empty.

 

[lottster14]

Johnsso would be lucky to get a 2nd round pick alone, but okay.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Does not make any sense for the Wild. And the 2nd on top of it? No...

 

[MNRube]

Pass from Minnesota. Wild do not want your middle 6 LW. Feels like half our organization is middle 6 LWs or project to be middle 6 LWs

 

[Prior]

Hard to find a reason why the Wild would want to swap Foligno for Johnsson. Adding a 2nd is almost comical.

 

[fentonsbrainchild]

No thanks from MN

Even accounting for our surplus of wings and lack of centers, I'd still rather have Foligno.

 

[Spurgeon]

I like the move. Wild's 7th line LW spot was looking weak.

 

[57special]

The OP proposal is buns for MN. Foligno won't knock you out with his stats, but is the toughest guy on our team, and makes us harder to play against. Johnson would be just another wing that would clog up things for what we already have(or are stuck with), and our best prospects(Boldy, Kaprizov, Beckman...all wings).

In other words, Foligno gives us something we need. Johnson doesn't. Adding a 2nd on top...

Wild need a top 6 C. That's not Kerfoot.

 

[2Pair]

Switch the 2nd rounder to the other side and Minnesota considers it.

 

[KaprizovEntitlelist]

Foligno or Spurgeon are Minnesota next captain

2nd: johnsson isn't good. he isn't on Foligno level & Foligno protect guys like Fiala, Spurgeon, etc. & now Kaprizov

Andreas Johnsson

No interest in Johnsson

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Make us an offer that includes Nylander

 

[Legegendsofthenorth]

I don't know why MN would do this one.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Take out the 2nd, I still don't think Minnesota does it. Including the 2nd, there's no reason for them to consider it.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Invest some time in thinking before posting such weak proposals.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Wild need centers. The last thing they need are left wingers.

 

[AKL]

Yeah switch the 2nd to other side and I'd consider it before ultimately saying no because of his contract.

Might do Rask for Johnsson straight up though.

Leafs are looking for a#3C...they should add a 2nd.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Wild say no easily
