Description

I’m just very confused by the talk of trading for Foligno. He’d be good for a depth role and bring the “culture” but that’s all we have. And if Hall could be had for a 2nd or 3rd (which I kind of doubt) how he he not the guy you put on Fiala’s wing to get him the puck?

All of this assume the Wild are set on making an acquisition, which I’m not.

Doesn't sound like the value is going to go as low as a single 2nd with 4mil retention.
The prices I have heard are a 1st or a 2nd, prospect, and third asset.

Gotta imagine with palmeri off the market hall is really the only winger left.

If I had to guess, Hall gets a 2nd and a B prospect like Toffoli did. I was using the “rumors” that GMs have said they don’t see Hall getting a 3rd. Then again, these are the same GMs that think Coots in PHI isn’t a top line C.

I would say that's a pretty fair assessment of return. I think it kind of depends who is on Hall.

I've heard the rumors, but I'm not buying them. I can't see how adding another LW helps the Wild. I'm totally against adding Hall. I hope it's all just speculation because Guerin is talking to the Sabres about Reinhart or possibly laying ground work for a future Eichel trade.

Can definitely tell you Foligno's not going anywhere for that low. That said, I would be surprised if he goes to the Wild at all; the trade scenario that comes to mind involves a team chasing a Cup that needs the playoff experience. I'm not sure if that describes the Wild at this time.
