Ew no. By trading Backes at 2 mil retained and aqurireing eakin you didn’t open up any cap space and granlund isn’t that valueble

Basically said ignore the Backes trade for the most part and of course that’s the first thing you go off on. If granlund isn’t that valuable what would you give up for him?

I think that us a bit pricey for Granny. Bura sucks, i’d rather have Heinen.

A for effort though.

Why would you make the Backes trade if it doesn’t get rid of his contract
Also there is no reason to trade Heinen for bura so you could trade Moore and Heinen for granlund but like I would rather go for someone other than granlund IMO

Don’t think John Moore is what the wild are looking for. Blues aren’t selling so no Schenn or Tarasenko, Panarin will cost Debrusk and won’t re-sign, you’d have to over pay for Dzingel, Zuccarello is not a good fit, etc. Stone is probably the only other rw worth pursuing.

Fair point fair point I just don’t like the Backes trade still
(I know you said to ignore that but still)

I just kind of threw it together and put no thought into it, figured he’s not waiving for a canadien team or a team at the bottom of the standings unless it’s St. Louis and their fans on here aren’t really fond of that idea. Didn’t want to make the Minnesota trade more complicated so there were limited options and just picked a center
