Cheap shot in the arm

Created by: zreich4
Team: 2020-21 Minnesota Wild
Initial Creation Date: Apr. 10, 2021
Published: Apr. 10, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Gusev and Patrick (depending on asking price) could be cheap options that help the future also.

Gusev trade:
Wild get rid of the 1 extra year of Rask and get a scoring wing in Gusev at half retained.

Patrick trade:
Supposedly he is getting shopped heavy at the trade deadline. If he is cheap it would be a good gamble with him being a former #2 overall pick and being buried on a deep Philly team. He has played majority of this year so far so hopefully injuries are past him.
Wild send a couple of picks and a RD prospect that is on the cusp of jumping up into the NHL. This might interest them at the deadline while a Dumbe trade would be more fitting for after the season.

If a Dumba trade happens in the offseason than the Wild can protect: Parise, Zucc, Fiala, Ek, Greenway, Patrick, Foligno, Suter, Spurgeon, Brodin, Kaapo

Highly unlikely PHI wants to move Patrick, especially for that return.

As for Gusev, you can sign him for league minimum right now!

A lot of reports say that the Flyers are "heavily shopping" Patrick at the deadline. What they are looking for? I don't know. If the asking price isn't too high I think it would be a good gamble.

Oh, it would be a good gamble. A 2nd and 3rd is nothing for a guy that could be a top 6 C at best and a 3rd liner at worst. Which is why I think their shopping him for a top 4 D man.

Yeah more than likely. At this time it doesnt seem like GMBG wants to make any big moves right now. But with Patrick being shopped I was thinking they could take a D man thats close to the NHL like Belpedio or Mennel (would like to keep Addison for a Dumba replacement but he could be potentially moved too) but are also expansion draft exempt so they could keep their D. I wouldnt be opposed to move Dumba but I feel like that would more than likely happen after the season. Which Patrick might already be moved.

Everything I’ve heard about Patrick is PHI is willing to be patient with him. He probably doesn’t have the game changer potential he did when he was drafted but I think they would rather have him pan out as a 2C which seems reasonable. You are going to have to give them a Dumba to get him as part of the package. Menell and Belpedio don’t move the needle.
