Published: Feb. 18, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
For some context, I am getting in my time machine and jumping back to the beginning of the 2021/22 season. As such, there will be some roster moves which revert FA signings and trades. I will label them as such by starting each description with "REVERT:".

Trades
1.
MIN
  1. Krebs, Peyton
  2. Tuch, Alex
  3. 2022 1st round pick (VGK)
  4. 2023 2nd round pick (VGK)
Additional Details:
REVERT: BUF-VGK trade. I know that BUF wanted 2 roster player and 2 1sts. They also stated that one of those players must be either Boldy or Rossi....but sorry, that ain't gonna happen.
BUF
  1. Beckman, Adam
  2. Eriksson Ek, Joel
  3. 2022 1st round pick (MIN)
  4. 2022 2nd round pick (MIN)
  5. 2024 1st round pick (MIN)
Additional Details:
All players, prospects, and picks make up the package that I would offer to acquire Eichel. I'm hoping the additional '22 2nd offsets the downgrade of Boldy/Rossi to Beckman.
2.
VGK
  1. Krebs, Peyton
  2. Tuch, Alex
  3. 2022 1st round pick (VGK)
  4. 2023 2nd round pick (VGK)
Additional Details:
REVERT: Completing the revert of the BUF-VGK trade.
3.
MIN
  1. Fasching, Hudson
Additional Details:
Honestly, have no idea the value of Fasching. I just want him cuz I attended the UMN the same time he did.
4.
MIN
  1. Dal Colle, Michael
Additional Details:
Change of scenery might be nice.
5.
MIN
  1. Mittelstadt, Casey
Additional Details:
Another former Gopher. Honestly, I thought his stock tanked when he was consistently getting demoted. However, based on his recent extensions, buffalo fans responses, and some articles I've read, he appears to be in good favor with the FO and fanbase. Which makes things a little trickier as I was hoping I would be able to get him on the down swing.
BUF
  1. Firstov, Vladislav [Reserve List]
  2. Khovanov, Alexander
  3. 2022 4th round pick (MIN)
  4. 2023 2nd round pick (MIN)
6.
MIN
  1. DeBrusk, Jake
  2. Senyshyn, Zach
  3. 2022 1st round pick (BOS)
BOS
  1. Fiala, Kevin
  2. Hunt, Daemon
Additional Details:
I was pleasently surprised by the feedback folks had when this trade (sans Synyshyn) was first proposed here: https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/2929737.

As for Sensyshyn, I've crawled through the ACG Bruins sims and they all appear to sell him for next to nothing. With that in mind, I've included Hunt as sort of a 1-for-1 trade.
7.
MIN
  1. Hanifin, Noah
Additional Details:
This one is difficult as I understand CGY fans like him a lot.
CGY
  1. Hartman, Ryan
  2. Kulikov, Dmitry
  3. Rask, Victor
  4. 2023 1st round pick (MIN)
Additional Details:
Hopefully, 2 solid players (both on really good contracts) and a '23 1st does the trick.
8.
MIN
  1. Koekkoek, Slater
  2. 2024 7th round pick (EDM)
Additional Details:
I would've signed him at the beginning of the season, prior to EDM picking him up.
EDM
  1. 2024 7th round pick (MIN)
9.
MIN
  1. Sharangovich, Yegor
  2. Subban, P.K.
  3. 2022 2nd round pick (NJD)
NJD
  1. Mermis, Dakota
  2. Novak, Pavel [Reserve List]
  3. Spurgeon, Jared
  4. Zuccarello, Mats
Additional Details:
Full disclosure, I have zero confidence in this trade. I was intrigued by it when looking at trade proposals for Fiala. This one popped up (sans Subban) that I really liked. I'm mainly looking to get rid of Spurgeon. I don't really want to give up Zucc as he has GREAT chemistry with Kaprisov but I don't see any other way of achieving something even close to what I'm asking from NJ.
10.
MIN
  1. 2023 1st round pick (FLA)
FLA
  1. Goligoski, Alex
Additional Details:
I've been told that Goligoski is worth a late 1st, mid-2nd Rd pick for a team that needs a plugin-play defensemen, which always seem to move around the TDL. So I have no idea which playoff teams are desperate enough to give up a first (if any) for him. I'm also okay with a '22 2nd.

Broadcasters say FLA is "all in" this year and looking for a quality defensemen.

As I mentioned last time, no Rossi/Boldy no Eichel. Fun to attempt though. And I think Minny is better off with those two long term anyways

Without rossi/boldy, I would take the vegas package. It might still be the honeymoon phase, but it's looking like adams did pretty ok with the return he got.

Definitely not just because you're in the honeymoon...
There is no way this is a comparable. Tuch is >> EK Krebs >>>>>> Beckman and an extra 1st doesn't compensate for that

Ummm what? Turn down the homer settings.

1) Ek>>>Tuch

Ek was 4th in Selke voting last year, and his line has yet to give up a goal at 5v5 this year. He's one of the best shutdown centerman in the league and he's still young and on a steal of a contract for what he brings.

Tuch is great, and on great contract too, but he's still only a middle-six powerforward when you get down to it.

I'd take the Selke-caliber 2nd line center over the middle-six powerforward 100/100 times.

2) Krebs>>>Beckman

For as good as Krebs looks, his ceiling is still thought to be a 2nd line center currently. Beckman’s floor is currently considered to be a middle-sixer with top-six ceiling potential if he hits. While Krebs is the better prospect, Beckman is closer to that same tier than you're giving him credit for or you don't know both prospects well enough to say much of anything about them and remain credible.

Either way, both prospects are currently considered top 50 prospects in the league.

3) It may have been a fair offer for Eichel, but the Wild would have turned down any and all trades that would of included Ek in it. Besides Eichel, Ek is the most valuable piece being moved here.
