Speculation: Trade and Free Agency Talk XLIX

[Legegendsofthenorth]

I can’t confirm how good the source is but Boldy+Fiala+Addison+21 first is out offer possibly

This seems about right for what it is going to take. Gotta figure Fiala needs to be signed though right?

I am not for sending this much though personally

 

[Minnewildsota]

Just looking at available UFA and sort of compiling a list of maybes. I'm mainly using guestimates as to how I think we could afford, how productive I think they might be, and they're age.

First Depth Chart (order listed doesn't reflect anything):

Center
Eriksson Ek
Rask
Sturm
Dewar
Rossi(?)

Right Wing
Zuccarello
Fiala
Foligno
Bjugstad

Left Wing
Kaprisov
Greenway
Boldy(?)

Left Defense
Brodin
Soucy(?)

Right Defense
Spurgeon
Dumba
Addison (?)

Goalie
Talbot
Kahkonen

Given the depth chart listed above. We have a few positions that could use bolstering or filling; center, left wing, and defense.

Centers
Krejci
Stastny
Wennberg
Bonino
Haula
Zajac
Bozak

Right Wing
Hudson Fasching - What happened to him? Might be a decent player to take a chance on. Probably high risk/medium reward. Should come fairly cheap though. Might be a decent 13th forward?

Left Wing
Tyrell Goulbourne - Mostly a depth/4th line signing
Nitika Gusev - Maybe as a 3rd liner?

Left Defense
Ian Cole - Assuming he takes a paycut
Jamie Oleksiak - Decent defender which would give us more size
Jake McCabe - Coming off an injury but was a pretty decent defender
Cody Ceci - Eh lol
Jack Johnson -

Right Defense
Zach Bogosian - Not sure how I feel about this. Really just a depth signing
Luke Schenn - Depth signing

Edit: Realized I didn't do Goalies

Goalies
Jaroslav Halak - Could be a decent #1 if Talbot is taken and a good tandem if Kahk is taken.
Petr Mrazek - Similar to Halak, but more towards a backup
Linus Ullmark - Similar to two above

Feel free to submit your own ideas and thoughts, and to rip this to shreds.

I can see Fiala because of $$$. ! of Boldy / Rossi has to be included. Not overly impressed with Addison. 1st is a bigger crap shoot than any other year

Pull the trigger BG

God, I hope not

That's disgusting, I hate it

 

[DeagleJenkins]

Yeah I’m not too fond of that offer if it’s true but at least we aren’t offering Rossi. Wild insider says Fiala wants 9-10million so that is a No

Can you link these sources?

 

[DeagleJenkins]

Can you link these sources?

I’ll dig into it, rumor mill is what I’m being told the offer is from and the Fiala ask is from a Facebook article from wild insider so I’ll dig around and try to find them.

 

[Webster]

I'm confused, you keep discussing a trade for Eichel, but Russo basically says it won't happen for two reasons. First the cap problems, second is Guerin wants to play the kids, and not sell them.

You lost me there.

If Fiala actually wants 9-10 million, he's bat shit crazy.

You need to stop treating everything Russo says as gospel.

Most star tribune articles appear on Facebook. Not like it was written purely on fb

We are linked to eichel. By trading Fiala we have more cap room, by getting rid of your buddy we get more room to afford him

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I'm probably willing to go higher with Fiala than most people here, but >$9M is nuts.

I hope not. So much potential there. That trade would make me sick.

Then why bother with contract negotiations if they plan to trade Fiala?
Why did Guerin say he hopes Rossi will be the center they need?

And the Eichel cap hit would actually be a bigger problem the first couple of years after Zucc's contract expires.

Because he's not going to come out and say "who cares about those two, we're getting rid of them for Eichel" before a deal is even close? Even you can't be that naive.

Since contract talks are going south we see what his market is, Rossi is unproven and even with full faith in him a top line center isn’t bad to have let alone two of them. Eichels cap hit won’t be as big of an issue with your boy off the books

 

[MuckOG]

" The Wild's offer is likely to start with at least one of their first round picks this draft, along with 2019 first-rounder Matthew Boldy and young defenseman Calen Addison. "

That's not a credible or reputable source in any capacity. They're all over my facebook feed and to this day they haven't gotten anything even close.

I get that, but i think that might be the source DeagleJenkins might have used

Probably, it was word of mouth not my personal reading.

 

[Webster]

Well I'm gonna have to trust Russo on this...no Eichel.

But Guerin is obviously a guy who shoots from the hip, who knows what happens next.

Actually, everything he's done points to the contrary

Guerin has HIS plan and is executing said plan. You may not agree with that plan but that doesn't mean he's shooting from the hip.
