Speculation: Trade & Free Agency Talk XXXVI

[AKL]

I was a big proponent of not selling Dumba for most of the year, but my god it’s like he’s getting worse. If we can get a comparable aged top 6 C, I’m all for it.

I still think he'll rebound next year, but I'm down to trade anyone on this roster (in the right deal) except for Fiala

Someone @ me with why we shouldn't trade Staal for a 1st.

 

[Bazeek]

Someone @ME with why we shouldn't trade Staal for a 1st.

Because with the way he's been playing he wouldn't get one.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

My (trying to be somewhat realistic) list of players that I would not be too disappointed if they weren't on the team come Monday afternoon:

Staal
Foligno
Dumba
Pateryn
Hunt

Zuccarello would be a 30 point player if we did

Honestly, I wouldn't be upset to see anyone go except for Fiala, Ek and Kunin.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Zuccarello for Marc Staal. No other pieces.

We wouldn’t have anyone to play in front of Ek

 

[AKL]

Zuccarello would be a 30 point player if we did

Well he's a 40 point player with Staal, so I'll take the 1st at the expense of 10 points

 

[MuckOG]

My guess is that tomorrow will be a quiet day for Wild fans.

 

[NHL1674]

Said it in the GDT....gonna say it here.

Dear Hockey Gods,

Whatever moves BG makes, please let them be good ones....smart ones....not selling low just because I wanted to make ones....and keep Brodin.

Amen

 

[nickschultzfan]

Zuccarello for Marc Staal. No other pieces.

I think we would need to add Greenway and retain at least 25 percent of Zucc's salary, but I would still do it.

Why are you so intent on getting rid of Greenway or Donato in every single proposal you post?

He won't get a 1st, but I'll gladly take a 3rd and run.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

I wanted to break this down because there’s lots of talk about trading Staal. I’m on board if we can get a 1st because I think he’s pretty much done as a top 6 C at this point. That being said, if this team cannot get a 1C next year, they will not be good. Even if the have Staal, they won’t be good. We need to get a stop-gap of some sort. If we can’t bring in a 60 point C of some capacity, there’s no shot.

This year, Staal went on a stretch where he looked like a number 1 center again. In 32 games, he put up 30 points. Over that stretch, we were 17-10-5 good for a 100 point pace. Over the rest of the season, staal has 12 points in 30 games. Over that stretch we are... 12-16-2 (70 point pace).

 

[57special]

With Staal, we will not be good next year. Without Staal(assuming the return is a pick), we will be worse. If we get a decent stop gap c, we will achieve mediocrity. If we trade a Brodin type, we get a decent #2C, and will barely squeak into the playoffs.

I like Staal, and think he is a class act, but if we can get a 1st I'm good with Sturm, Ek, Rask, Kunin, maybe a touch of Anas/Khovanov? It sucks, but that's what happens when you lose. Players get traded, coaches get fired.

[Jesus comma Brodin]

I'm gonna puke. I can't handle today.

 

[Bazeek]

Had a dream that we traded Dumba for Ben Bishop. Nowhere to go but up.

Russo would make that deal

Trade Centre guys getting itchy for something to happen/talk about.

I dont think Brodin will be moved unless it's a deal we cant refuse, ie. Nylander.

Mike Green for Kyle Brodziak isn't enough to generate a buzz?

Oh...wait this isn't 2009.
