Description

Big Finnish rental to play on an all-Finland line, mentor KK on how to improve as a top 6 centre, a healthy body to fill in for injuries and provide depth for the rest of the season and hopefully the playoffs. Obvious Koivu connection to Montreal for good media optics even moreso as the trade happens after koivu play's his 1000th game with the Wild. Obviously doesn't fix the LD issue but could be a fit.

We are not cup contenders, so we won’t move asset for a rental who’s not even good

I'd do it from the Wild's perspective, but it all depends on Koivu's willingness to waive his NMC. He loves MN.

Koivu is still amazing defensively. He has fallen off hard in the offensive zone, but he can still make the occasional good play. If you need a face off wizard and a great PK'er, Koivu is still among the best. I'd say a 2nd is pretty close to fair for him

I totally agree, mtl got a 2nd for Plekanec, you’ll get a 2nd, just not MTL, but a team who’s contenders

you're pretending only clear contenders in NOV are going to be buyers in Feburary
that tells me you must be used to being wrong as a lot always happens between now and then .

MTL has its issues but a lot of that can be fixed by adding more size.
adding Koivu's size to 6'3 Kotkanemi and 6'4 Armia's line gives MTL a line that can physically wear down opponents .

personally i'd love to pick up Koivu and Clifford for the right price
Romanov will be up soon and Romanov-Fleury would be a physically dominating force .

Our D lead the NHL D in scoring with 13 goals the first 20 games so what we need is someone to punish players and block shots to tighten up our D. (Kulak wont hit and doesnt block shots while Reilly only blocks shots and nothing else . )

Clifford would be the best fit thought
one of the top 5 players in the league who can produce while also being a Enforcer
