Which player does Armstrong trade first?
- Thread starter Mosby
- Start date
Might have veen a tough year dealing with his Wife's diagnosis. I would bet on Dubnyk rebounding before I bet on Raanta actually playing 30 games. The games watched jokes are both old and silly.......... I guess they fit the teller.
Edit: forgot to add that Raanta is really not the answer to anyobe trying to fix their starting goalie issue.

Theres a lot of chatter of Dubnyk being available for trade because Minnesota wants to make a change in net. You preferring to bet on Dubnyk rebounding is irrelevant if this is accurate.
I'm sure they would like to get a good starting goalie. Now tell me how Raanta fits that desire? That's what I questioned.
I suspect I have watched more hockey than most here in my Life. I don't think missing a month or so this past season negates that. This place should really stick to hockey rather than the constant personal attacks.

I mentioned how Minny is looking to move on from Dubnyk. So your, or anyone else for that matter, preference to keeping him over any other said goalie is kinda irrelevant.
Read back dude, you answered my post about the Raanta suggestion. Don't fall into the del posting style, just discuss the sport.

It wasn’t meant as a personal attack. I’m just stating that your opinion/preference, from a Minnesota perspective, in keeping Dubnyk, a player they’re reported to be wanting to move on from, is kinda irrelevant when discussing goalies they’d be lookin into.
The same could be said about us. Say we trade Kuemper and Raanta and we’re looking at adding James Reimer. Everyone in their right mind would say they’d rather keep Kuemper over Reimer, but it’s irrelevant.
You are over thinking my post. The keeping of Dubnyk was only in reference to the getting of Raanta. Give me an option of a healthy goalie who can be pretty much guaranteed to play 40 games abd I move on from Dubnyk quickly, just not for Raanta.

In my experience CoyotesHF holds Greenway in a helluva lot higher esteem than does WildHF or Wild writers or bloggers. Or even Bill Guerin based on his quotes. I liked Greenway in college. I’d like to add him. But his trade value is like basically a 2nd rounder.
His underlying numbers are very good. Much, much better than someone like Crouse. He's definitely not your typical dumb-as-rocks winger that is getting favorable zone starts. Could be a case of an org. disappointed he's not more and unhappy with him, but I'd happily take him as is at the appropriate trade value.
He's better than 3/4ths of the Coyotes forwards atm.

I think that's about right. Lots of tools, lots of questions. Still young, but some serious question marks. I bring him up all the time for the same reason I bring up Virtanen, because I don't think Guerin loves him, and they bring a presence --even as is and inconsistently-- that we desperately need. I don't think either is a lock for a top -six role in the future, but they're still valuable guys as is for this squad.
