    In this scenario what would you want from Flames for Eichel?

    We could have done much better, so why would we trade Dahlin? Probably Krueger also left in this scenario, which means that Dahlin will maybe recover.

    Think you could get more for Eichel, Dahlin and possibly Reinhart

    This is kinda wild but even at half retained would the Wild take on the Skinner contract lol I mean a 4.5M cap hit for 6 more years for the first half of his 30s

    neutral

    Damn that contract is bonkers

    I'd love Dahlin on the Kings and I would absolutely trade Turcotte for him. There's no way thats near enough from LA though. I think that's really underselling Rasmus. And this is coming from a Kings fan.

    That wild trade is funny. The wild would want Dylan cozens to take skinner at that retention. It’s just such a long bad contract.

    There are 30 teams in league who would put a better offer for Dahlin if made available.

    Those are some low returns for some of those pieces:
    especially for Eichel & Dahlin... and only a 5th for Risto? That’s brutal imo

    Um easy no from Minnesota. Minnesota isn't taking on Jeff Skinner 8 year contract. Buffalo would have to pay a team to take him


    Minnesota has no room for another winger. Sorry dude Minnesota also has to pay Kaprizov, & Fiala

    Nope wild wouldn't. It why Ryan donato was traded. Wild have no room at wingers with Prospects such as Matt boldy, Adam Beckman, Vladislav Firstov,Pavel Novak, Mitchell Chafee ,  Nikita Nesterenko, & Nick Swaney.

    Wild also has to pay long term contract to Kirill Kaprizov, & Kevin fiala.

    So yeah, easy no from Minnesota .

    I think in just about any Eichel trade, we’d want a good young Center back- bc otherwise we’d just have Cozens moving forward
    Monahan & Lindholm are probably a little too old if we’re gonna start another rebuild
    Idk that we’d be great trade partners

    If youre blowing it up, youre buidling it around Dahlin. Hes the piece you keep.
