CAP FILLER TO GO ON IR, PLAYER ACQUIRED FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS		1	$3,000,000

Trades

BUF

Spurgeon, Jared

Additional Details:

There is a deep dark hole at RHD and they need to get Power right. They add a good player and leader without having to break up the emerging young core.

MIN

Johnson, Ryan
Mittelstadt, Casey
2022 1st round pick (FLA)
2023 2nd round pick (BUF)

Additional Details:

My rationale is that Minnesota has major cap problems and moving spurgeon before the decline starts allows them to retool instead of rebuild. Johnson is essentially NHL ready and can play both sides, mittelstadt if healthy is a middle 6 center who can play both PP and PK and 2 picks

Yeah, I would do this. We could lose this deal, its giving up a lot of good futures, but that right d is a sore spot, its worth the risk.

Probably difficult, Wild would rather trade Dumba or Fiala than Spurgeon. Full NMC doesn't help either.

Spurgeon is their captain, and with the prospects the wild have coming they are actually coming into a little window here. More likely they deal Fiala bc of his contract situation

Make it a ‘22 Buffalo 2nd and the higher of the Vegas and Fla 1sts and we are getting closer. I also need an update on Mittelstadt’s progression.
How about Krebs or Cozens straight up for Spurgeon? Hypothetically, of course…I can’t imagine him waiving his NTC gor Buffalo…

I could list ten reasons why the Wild decline...

Buffalo pass, too much, and Cozens or Krebs not traded.

The deal with Wild is interesting but idk if they move their captain or if Buffalo moves that many assets for one player.

Other note… please break up that top pairing. It’s disgustingly bad and hopefully with more RHD Granato finally splits them up next year

I agree about dahlin/jokiharju. I'm not sure where jokiharju realistically should slot, but it's not top pair. Dahlin is probably going to start seeing less time and easier minutes, power sounds like the real deal.

Joki with Samuelsson for me. He plays better with a more defensive minded partner

Suter was a total cancer on the Wild from day one!! He is and was a good player, but the team is much better without him!

Jared spurgeon is our captain. He's not available, getting traded. Also spurgeon himself block this trade

It's all a mute point Spurgeons NMC will block a trade to Sabres. If you want Dumba then I'm sure Guerin listens, but Spurgeon is with the Wild until the wheels fall off.

Perhaps. I provided my rationale. Yours is very valid

I tried to, but I want spurgeon with power and Fitzgerald isn't top pair material. Maybe move Samuelsson to rhd with dahlin and Bryson w jokiharju and fitz as 7th d

I don’t hate it, put Bryson in the press box or to the moon
