Oil fan coming in peace. Just wondering about Nuge for Spurgeon if salary is an issue in the Dumba based deals. Also want Haula, what would have to be added?
Nuge + ??? lands Spurgeon and Haula?
I absolutely do not see it happening.

RNH = Spurgeon, but I don't think the Wild want to trade Spurge. Management likes him too much, and he is playing well on our first pairing.
Haula now has a lot of value for the Wild. Part of it is his paltry cap hit. Fletcher can't get a guy who does what he does for 1M.
Long and short of it is that Haula would be a no go together with Spurgeon. Wild would have to send something back worth about 800-900K to even out the salaries in any trade. If it was something like a Folin it would be a lower draft pick. Something more valuable, a higher one. I could be wrong, but I don't think they'd let Haula go even for a first.
Wild would actually have to send back closer to $2M to even out the salaries.
I agree about Spurgeon though. If he was available for RNH, I think it would've happened already.
Coming around on trading Scandella. We need his size and strength, but Reilly and Olofsson could be our bottom-4 LHD as soon as next season.
I might be more extreme than this.If Scandella goes, 2nd pair LHD is Brodin.
Suter26min - Dumba (20)
Brodin(20) - Spurgeon (24)
Reilly(14) - Prosser (16)
Olofsson - Folin
Then wait until one of Reilly/Dumba fails or goes beast and trade accordingly.
For example, Detroit really needs defensemen
Scandella, Dumba, Haula, and Zucker for Larkin, Nyquist, and Ouellet.
That's how you overpay to get a great young center. You make an offer that practically forces the other team to take it.
Parise-Larkin-Coyle
Granlund-Koivu-Nyquist
Nino-Staal-Pominville
Like others said already, i don't think that is enough to bring Larkin to Minnesota.
The way i see it:
Scandella=Nyquist,Ouellet
And I don't think Larkin gets traded when biggest piece coming back is Dumba. While Zucker and Haula are nice players to have in your middle-six, they are not that valuable to tip the scale for Detroit to make that trade.
Btw, hello all!
I'm long time lurker here in Hf, especially here in Minnesota section. I have been watching Wild pretty closely for 4 years now, approximately 20 games a year. I don't consider myself a fan, yet, but this is clearly my favorite team in NHL and I wish them all the best
Welcome!!
And I am on board for trading Scandella as well, if we do trade one. Need to think through a proposal but he would be the one I choose.
How so?
RNH - 6M
Spurgeon- 5.2M( approx)
Forget Larkin... no way Detroit trades him.
