He doesn't want to leave Minnesota.

but with only a M-NTC, he doesnt have complete control over it.

I've seen mock trades for a 2nd & 3rd. Personally, I don't want to see him to without an immediate replacement and I highly doubt he'd be jumping for joy if he was told he got traded. He likes it in Minnesota

Yeah I know, pretty sure he's selective with who he puts on their though, like he'll put playoff teams on his no trade list and won't put basement teams on his no trade list cause he knows it's unlikely they'll trade for him, he really doesn't want to leave Minnesota, maybe they trade him but I doubt it.

Id trade him for the highest bid.

Agreed, although I'd ideally want an actual replacement in place first

What do you think of Kerfoot and dermott?

I'd pass. At least until we brought actual top 6 C in the organization before dealing Staal. My "realistic" dream is Cirelli. With someone like him, I could be okay with moving Staal for Kerfoot+

I would move Staal for Kerfoot right now, and worry a out a 1C later. I want to see Ek play between Fiala and Kaprizov anyway. If the Wild also managed to land Cirelli, they would be set at center for the foreseeable future.
