Yikes, Carolina is fleecing us harder than my Grandma's knit sweaters here...

Canes would not do this. They have no use for a RD coming back as they have 4 already at NHL level and McKeown out of options is #5. They are high on Gauthier as well and a short of RH wings while having a ton of LH wings. Does not suit them at all.

Good, because the Wild are making an absolutely terrible trade here. I like Faulk and I like Gauthier, but trading Fiala alone to get both is a bad idea, let alone adding Pateryn.

Not really as far as value goes. I am assuming if Wild do this they extend Faulk. Faulk and Fiala are about equal in terms of trade value. Gauthier has more than Pateryn. Now as far as team needs go i don’t like it for either team. But Wild are getting the better end of it in terms of value.

Do you know who kevin fiala is? Because first fenton got rape in the a*s by poile wit that trade last year. Fiala won’t turn into a elite player he might turn into a good but not great 2nd line players. And since Minnesota is rebuilding this trade might actually be great for them. They could trade faulk at the deadline a have a pretty nice return ( a prospect and a first pick) so fiala would bring you Gauthier a prospect and a 1st. This is a big win from Minnesota point of vue
