I'm a Canucks fan, but I know for a fact that the Wild aren't trading Brodin for anyone, he's one of their undisputed untouchables, not to mention their no. 2 D-man

Jonas brodin is so untouchable!

Yeah for how much it’s be great to get Pettersson, I don’t think the wild are giving up Brodin. He’s second pairing defenseman but a #1 defenseman on most teams. I love his stalwart game. Beginning the year I though they’d let dumba go but I don’t see them letting any D-man go now. It comes down to letting greenway and fiala go. Rask also if possible but who the hell wants rask lol! I keep thinking maybe they’ll make a trade but it comes down to how much guerin and how much he’d have to give away to upgrade a position. He’s definitely not willing to compromise the future or any other position.

I get it, and this was definitely a pie-in-the-sky idea. I just think that if they wanted to make a big splash, this would be one of the only ways to do it and remain cap compliant. Agreed on Fiala and Greenway, and they probably more likely they go for a guy one rung down like JT Miller or Tomas Hertl.

Oh I agree! Gotta give up something big and also enough salary to get guys like pettersson, hertl or Miller. I’d love to get pettersson but I’m hoping they lean toward hertl but also afraid they won’t be able to keep him after this year unless the roster is gutted and 3-4 prospects come up for next year. Miller, who isn’t a true center but can play, makes the most sense cause of his good contract that goes past next season. Hertl is going to command a hefty contract after this year. But I’m thinking the wild stand pat for awhile. Hot right now so they probably don’t wanna ruin that mojo.
