With Rossi and Boldy coming in the near future, I don't see this happening.

See this trade is awful compared to what some bigger market teams could offer

Add on Beckman to the deal and I think they might consider it.

Or just the fact they're larger market teams, which supposedly is part of his issue in Columbus. No one ever left Columbus for the bright shiny lights of St. Paul.

I get that PLD has exactly zero input in the trade, but any GM acquiring him in a comparable market would be foolish to not find out if PLD would be happy playing on their team.

What does market size matters? Good offer laf

I know thats the same thing I was saying in a post I made earlier but multiple people all they said is he has no say blah blah blah

You realize that not everyone wants to play for the rangers right?

Because he does not want to play for a small market so yeah sure the wild could trade for him but it’s going to cost more than this and he’s not going g to be happy and will end up requesting a trade again

Yes I realize that I’m not only talking NYR. Mtl could offer a better offer and is a big market same goes for Chicago Boston you know BIG MARKETS

Or big bigger stage he means hockey centric market like Minnesota

How are you defining big market vs small market?

Ok even if he is ok with going to Minnesota this is a terrible offer the only decent forward they could send back would be fiala or kaprizov both I would think the wild would rather keep

Fans, money, media ect

So we can agree that Minnesota is a bigger hockey market than Los Angeles then?

Probably close to the same. The 2 cups help la with bring in fans

Just a heads up, Boldy isn't a center. BC hasn't been playing him there and the Wild's player development staff has directly said in interviews that they see him as a wing moving forward.

Yet Minnesota still had higher average attendance last decade, without ever making it past the second round.

Ok I get Minnesota is your favorite team but you don’t have what it takes to get pld so either way it doesn’t really matter

But we can all agree you're really just talking out of your ass though.

What’s the superior rangers offer? Also I did say wild need to probably add a bit. Keep in mind I’m trying something other than monahan or laine for Dubois. It’s the fact you seem to think jackets would take a lesser offer from the rangers than say a wild based on market size that is my main point of contention
