Speculation: Trade Ideas and Free Agency XXIV

[ThatGuy22]

I see. Yes, it is sort of a move them all, or don't move any and let them take the best one.

This is where i'm at. Do what you can to get Pommer to waive, maybe even Parise. But as a team built on depth and not super-stars. I can't see how trading multiple pieces of that depth makes us better than just losing one. Even if that one is slightly better.

If you can use Olloffson, Pulkinnen or a pick to get them to pick one great, but using Haula? That would be poor asset management.

Parise would get taken. A brand new franchise will be desperate for credibility, and Parise would give them that. They won't be having cap problems for the first few years, So that wouldn't be much of a consideration. Koivu would be much more realistic, but I think the " will you waive" conversation will be very difficult.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Also have to remember that getting Koivu and/or Pominville and/or Parise to waive would have to come with assurances from Vegas that they wouldn't get picked; but it is also limits the options that Vegas would have at their disposal (because they would be waiving for us to protect additional players), so what incentive would they have to give those assurances?

Yup. 75% of the league still thinks Parise's a 70-80 point forward.

P.A. Parenteau (NJD) $1.25m cap hit

He could be of some interest as a rental as another possible depth pickup. No clue on the cost to get him, but he'd fit under the cap.

The only trades I can see Fletcher making are of players he wants to move before the expansion draft because he wants to get something for them before they get picked up.

Frankly: outside of probably Pominville, I really like this team.

Fletcher also added that it might affect how they approach the March 1 trade deadline. No question, the Wild will have to have as much depth as possible to get through that 20-game stretch at the end. It also means that they need to make sure in the interim that they handle their salary-cap situation with great care to keep as much flexibility as possible to that end.

[Dr Jan Itor]

Yeah, I don't want to see another Bergenheim trade.

 

[MuckOG]

This is the deepest team the Wild have ever assembled. Barring a rash of injuries, I don't see any reason for them to give up assets for any additional depth.

I'm all in on the trade for Jagr bandwagon if Florida continues to spiral. But that's mostly sentimental.

 

[nickschultzfan]

Please dont trade picks or prospects for worthless "playoff rentals".

We either ride the players we have, including those in Iowa, or we dont.

But...but... it's Jagr?

 

[Minnesota]

Brb, ordering my green Jagr jersey now.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Jagr is this Czech guy, right?

 

[Minnesota]

[Sharppi]

I'm all for Jagr trade, Jagr is a god amongst men.

 

[HollaHaula]

Please stop with the Jagr suggestions. I love Jagr but he's slowing down and is really showing signs of being human, again. This Wild team loves speed and Jagr doesn't offer any to speak of.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Please stop with the Jgar suggestions. I love Jgar but he's slowing down and is really showing signs of being human, again. This Wild team loves speed and Jgar doesn't offer any to speak of.

Jgar? Another Czech?

 

[HollaHaula]

Damnit. Fixed...

If we say Jagr's name enough times, it'll eventually become a rumor... All rumors eventually trickle down to Russo... Russo questions players & management about validity of rumors... Rumors eventually become speculation... Profit???

Jagr could actually help though. Moves Pominville further down the lineup.

Edit: More I think about this, I really want this to happen.

Parise-Koivu-Granlund
Nino-Staal-Coyle
Zucker-Haula-Jagr
Schroeder-Graovac-Stewart
Pominville

I dig those lines!

 

[Digitalbooya]

Who/what do you trade for Jagr?

 

[TwiztedHeat]

Who/what do you trade for Jagr?

I wouldn't go more than a 3rd. I think we'd easily be outbid, but I do think Jagr could really help this team. I think Jagr could help Coyle learn some more stuff too.

 

[Fremitus Borealis]

Who/what do you trade for Jagr?

We could trade Pominville for hi--

Oh, right.

 

[FrodoBeggins]

players from whom I would like to get rid of: scandella, Parise (too big salary and a long contract, and in 1.5 years will be free Tavares for example), pominville
