Description

Wild missed on Pius Suter, the only center worth going for in FA. Unless Krejci somehow decides he wants to play for the Wild instead of the Bruins or somewhere in the Czech Republic, we'll have to go the trade route. Here are some options worth considering that shouldn't cost the moon (Eichel).

Trades

MIN

Additional Details:

I like Dvorak more

ARI

MIN

Mittelstadt, Casey [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

He had a sneaky good season, I don't think the Sabres want to trade him, though

BUF

MIN

Monahan, Sean

Additional Details:

Guerin has shown no interest in him, but I like his game. His price is at an all-time low

CGY

MIN

Trocheck, Vincent

Additional Details:

Necas will soon pass him on the depth chart if he hasn't already. Sell when he still has value, no?

CAR

MIN

Strome, Dylan

Additional Details:

Could be a cheap addition. He is 4th in Hawks' depth chart behind Toews (if healthy), Dach and Johnson

CHI

MIN

MacKinnon, Nathan

Additional Details:

Lol just checking if anyone actually browses through these

COL

MIN

Lizotte, Blake

Additional Details:

Maybe not a top6 C, but I like his game and he is cheap to acquire - remember, he was left unprotected.

LAK

MIN

Kotkaniemi, Jesperi [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

This would be huge, but so would be the price...

MTL

MIN

Johansen, Ryan

Additional Details:

If they retain half and take Rask - boom.

NSH

10.

MIN

Zacha, Pavel

Additional Details:

Young and on the rise. After the Hamilton signing, I doubt we have anything the Devils want, though.

NJD

11.

MIN

Zibanejad, Mika

Additional Details:

If they shoot for Eichel, Ziba becomes expendable - they can't afford to keep both

NYR

12.

MIN

Malkin, Evgeni

Additional Details:

Guerin loves Malkin and has a past with him. Some retention and Malkin waiving his no-move should do it, unless the Pens think they still contend

PIT

13.

MIN

Hertl, Tomas

Additional Details:

Only has one year left, but if you can do a sign-n'-trade...

SJS

14.

MIN

Cirelli, Anthony

Additional Details:

I doubt this happens especially after Bowman wanted to help BriseBois so much

TBL

15.

MIN

Pettersson, Elias [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

Offer sheet him - I worship chaos!

Hertl, Strome and Dvorak are the most realistic options

Hertl, Kotkaniemi, and Cirelli are my favorites but they are also some of the least likely to happen. Somehow grabbing Hertl would be huge but he would have to agree to an extension pre trade.

Strome is ahead of Johnson and Toews on the depth chart. That may be a hot take but we have no idea what condition Toews will be in next season and he could relapse if he pushes himself to hard again. Johnson is a good complementary piece, but Strome is about equal probably.

I’d throw Henrique on that list, as consideration. Ducks would need to retain and there’s chatter of him moving
