If there was a hall of fame for players who skated the hardest while accomplishing the least he would be in on the first ballot.

Would Tom Kostopoulos be second ballot?

Wild are into a bunch of mediocre people, are you guys trying to steal the Canadiens speciality?

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Pateryn, Fehr, Hendricks and now Brown?

Depth. We don’t have cap space for anything other than depth players. Not sure why people seem confused these are the guys we are signing.

It's not confusing, just amusing how they're all going to the same team in the same day.

But FWIW, Fenton was not brought in to look at their cap situation and say "i guess we have no space".

You’re right, he could have traded Nino+Zucker+Ennis for Domi+Dvorak and we could’ve had all the cap space in the world meanwhile we would be a worse hockey team (yes, that was a rumored deal per Russo). It was pretty clear we needed a 4th line overhaul. Cullen gone, Ennis punted, Winnik not re-signing. We have the cap space to fix that issue and they’re all relatively harmless deals. If you’re looking for Minnesota to make a “big splash” it will be by trade, which Fenton has all summer to do.

Humor me, what do you think he should be doing?

I'm fine with Fenton talking to Brown, as long as he doesn't sign him.

 

[Telos]

I think he plays more Fortnite on Twitch than practicing hockey, but hopefully he lands somewhere

A 4th line of Hendricks-Fehr-Brown is better than last year and cheaper. It also keeps JEE and Greenway on the 3rd line to get more ice time, adds speed, and another right hand shot.

 

[57special]

Well, we ended up with a 4th line of Foligno, Winnik, and EK. Fehr, Hendricks, Brown isn't even close to that....Fehr gets some good reviews, but hasn't played much, Hendricks appears to be pretty much done, and Brown gets Prosser like production from the forward spot.

I'm not drinking the Koolaid. That's a crap 4th line.

 

[SEALBound]

I'm actually surprised that anyone is talking to him. He's not that good and seems to have trouble determining whether he wants to play hockey or be a protester. As different pro athletes are starting to find out, it's tough to do both.

Don't drink it, that's fine. But you're kidding yourself if you thought JEE and Foligno were going to be 4th line guys this season.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Anything over 1M on a 1 year deal is a terrible contract. He's not even a NHL player.

I agree with the money part, but he can be a serviceable 4th liner for like $750k on a 1 or 2 year deal.

 

[TwiztedHeat]

Russo reporting Wild signing Brown to 2 year deal, no word on dollars yet.

Edit: $675k year 1/$700k year 2

Foligno will absolutely be on the 4th line
