Description

I see a ton of similar issues with the Maple Leafs and the Wild. The Leafs are more talented but I see the same sorts of flaws when you look at deep playoff runs.

Please Read: Wild fans are NOT crazy about trading Rossi. We've waited years for a draft potential 1C. We have him putting up 40+ points in his rookie year. The issue which is causing the rumors is that Hedit and Yurov could be better than Rossi. Mainly Yurov. We are glad to keep him but if we can acquire a different type of player with similar hype, I think the Wild think about doing that trade. Rossi goes to the front of the net, great vision and strong for his size. I started seeing more of Point in his game this year.

Trades

MIN

Daws, Nico [RFA Rights]
2024 1st round pick (NJD)

NJD

Gustavsson, Filip
2024 1st round pick (MIN)

Additional Details:

Pulling from another user. This deal makes a lot of sense. I want the return to be more but this is helping us move up the draft board and grab a higher tier prospect which is what we need.

MIN

Knies, Matthew

TOR

Rossi, Marco
2024 2nd round pick (MIN)

Additional Details:

I'm probably going to get roasted in this trade and Leaf fans are going to say he is untouchable. I see this helping the Leafs replace JT. He also keeps you competitive immediately. You have wingers that can replace what Knies did. Domi, Bertuzzi and others can replace what Knies brought. Matthew and Rossi would be a really good 1 2 punch. The Wild see Yurov as our future 1c maybe 2c. They also have Heidt they want to take the leap next year. Russo mentioned that Rossi will be moved for a similar type player. A 21-22 year old that a team may want to move. Or a blockbuster trade to acquire a super star. Wild can't afford that right now.

MIN

2025 5th round pick (WPG)

WPG

Gaudreau, Frédérick

Additional Details:

I think Freddy could be traded to a team where Dean lands. Dean would be a good fit with the Jets.

MIN

Chesley, Ryan [Reserve List]
2024 4th round pick (WSH)

WSH

Additional Details:

Swapping prospects because the Wild have 4 LHD at the same development stage. JoJo goes home on his last year of his deal and could be flipped fora bigger asset.

LW is such a thin position for the Leafs, I just don't see them trading their only young LW for a C when they already have Minten and Cowan as C prospects

The difference in value between Rossi and Knies is minimal. Not a 2nd round pick.

I don’t mind the caps trade actually. Value wise it seems to make sense, just depends on what the caps want to do this summer and how they view these prospects.

Leafs are keeping Knies. He's someone you build around and elevate to a top six role.
