Description
Trying to get Pominville off the books, packaging Brodin with him for a legit #1 C. Would never happen, but Colorado needs to blow the roster up and you never know. With Brodin gone in trade, protect Dumba from Vegas, give them a pick to ensure they take Scandella. Since Niederreiter has been in trade talks lately, might as well get a serviceable D-man for him since we're gonna lose two. Aaaand signing Oshie would be great.

That 4th line worries me though.

The only reason we would trade Nino is because we couldn't fit him under the cap or because we are getting an insane haul in return. When he isn't shooting at 23% or playing with Ovi/Backstrom, Oshie has been less productive than Nino. Nino has scored 24, 20, and 25 goals the last 3 years. The best Oshie did before Backstom/Ovi was 21. I'd much rather sign 24 year old Nino at $6 million for the next 5 years than 30 year old Oshie.

I don't think the Colorado trade would ever happen but if we were trading a D to get a decent return before expansion, I would rather trade Dumba. He'd get the best return of our available D.

I'd say you could simplify this by not trading Nino and re-signing him to the Oshie deal. Colorado wouldn't take this trade but if you're trading Pommer, it's to clear up the space to re-sign Nino so those trade talks are irreverent. Gudas is a nice piece, but you have Olofsson and Reilly coming up on the left side so he isn't necessary.

A lot of good points above.

I love Gudas! But, you have to get more back than him and a 2nd if you're trading Nino!

All reports show Colorado demanding a lot more than that for Duchene.

Oshie might very well be the most overrated player in the NHL! He's a 4-5 million dollar a year player tops in my book! Would I like to have him on the Wild...yes...but for $4-5million a season. He gets a team between 50 and 60 points a year and plays spotty defense. He's just not worth the superstar money some team is going to pay him this summer.
