I like the idea of adding Bonino to «replace» Danault

That's a good base trade for Ekholm and Richardson to MTL.

MN is not adding a pick to that trade, if anything the 3rd should be going to MN. Weal is 0 value (maybe slightly negative with his $250k buried cap hit). A 3rd for Poeling is probably fair since he has another year of waivers exemption.

Bonino (half retained) is worth somewhere between a 1st and a 3rd, depending on the TDL market.

Personally I think Poehling is > than bonino straight up because of age and upside plus hometown boy. Bonino is strictly a rental.

That's a good base trade for Ekholm and Richardson to MTL.

Many teams would easily beat that offer for Ekholm.

Montreal would need to swap Kulak with a very good prospect to have a chance. Ekholm easily gets a 1st + good prospect package, possibly more with retention involved.

Poeling hasn't done anything of note in the pros (other than his hatty his first game). If he didn't have the extra year of waivers exemption he's Bracco value. If he isn't going to be at least a future NHL 3C then he's of 0 use to MN. I don't think he'll turn into a NHL 3C, but I'd take a risk on him as part of the return for Bonino (who I am very low on so far this year).

Bonino is worth more because he'll help you in the NHL this year and Poeling won't. MN is the team taking the risk in the trade. MTL knows what they'd be getting in Bonino.[/quote

Fair enough I can understand that perspective. Mine is that bonino has nothi g really to offer after this year wear poehling does. This will be really his first year of pro hockey. Last year was a write off for him and can’t be used to judge his true value. He is a natural leader WJC MVP. And a big game player. He will in fact be a beauty of a power forward in the nhl. That is his true value even if he never gets there that is what he is worth that is what his draft value same as every other first round d pick.

Poehlj g is on his way up bonino is on his way down and out. Like I said and cones from a big Minnesota hockey family. Really a no brainer for minny

I don't see the Wild adding a 3rd to that. I also can't see them being interested in Poehling and Weal as a return. They'll be offered draft picks, and would probably rather have those.

What he did in the WJC is nice, but means nothing when it comes to pro hockey. What he did last year in the AHL/NHL is what matters; and it wasn't much. He's 22 ow and in his 2nd season of pro hockey. He has potential, yes, but that's all it is at this point. Maybe he figures it out, maybe he doesn't; that is the risk for MN.

Bonino gives MTL a Danault replacement for the rest of the season in your scenario. You'll need to pay TDL prices for Bonino, other teams will be bidding on him too. In "win now" mode you pay a premium and forgo some of your future for that chance at the Cup. It's why MTL shouldn't trade Danault (better than Bonino) and just treat him like a rental they didn't have to pay for, then let him walk after the Playoffs.

If this is the best offer MN gets for Bonino they might as well just keep him and get bounced in the 1st round of the Playoffs by Vegas or COL.
