Uh, the answer you're looking for is....
H - E - L - L NAH.
Minnesota doesn’t consider this.
1) Guentzel is 29. Boldy is 22. That's a 7 year difference there bub.
Minnesota doesn’t trade Boldy for Guentzel straight up. Why for all that is holy would Minnesota give up a young star player that is already under contract long-term at a great price and won't be Guentzel's age until 2030? Which is coincidentally when his contracts up.
Besides, the only player Minnesota considers moving Boldy for is Prime Age Crosby.
2) Ryan Hartman is in this deal. That puts the value that Pittsburgh is acquiring way into underpayment category.
Cap dumps, players on the downturn of their careers, and prospects who are already lesser quality than what's currently in Minnesota's system doesn’t get this done. The ONLY piece remotely interesting here is Guentzel and Guerin doesn't consider moving Boldy for him.
