Do not trade Hanzel. He is my darkhorse to make the Avs next season as a 6/7. Maroon can't keep up to the Avs. Let another team acquire his services.

Hawks wouldn't trade a 6th round pick for MacDermid, let alone taking on the RyJo cap dump. You are gonna have to include at least a 2nd round pick to Hawks to take on RyJo this year and next.

For a 37 year old UFA goalie. And a 35 year old UFA winger? Both that they may not re-sign. Hanzel has potential. I wouldn't write him off as a "nothing prospect" just yet. Maybe change the second to a first for next year? Idk what to tell ya man. Don't think you're getting much higher than that for two UFA's, both of whom are on the wrong end of 30 that aren't exactly lightly the world on fire this season.

That's fair. I was afraid of that lol.

Oh man. I know I really want them to utilize Hanzel! I think he could be a sneaky pick. But it just looks like they have no plans for him. I hope I'm wrong though.

Both of them will be highly coveted at the deadline if available, and while the Wild may not get more than that, they can at least get a 2nd in the 2024 draft, not three drafts out

it's sadly looking like Beaucage won't even be a star at the AHL level. I'm in the opinion the Habs have a lot of that already.

That's fair. Damn the Avs and their lack of draft picks. I still maintain Hanzel would be a welcomed addition though.

The Colorado Eagles. Where prospects go to die.

I think and hope you are. I don't think they expected to see what they did from him at training camp/preseason and their hands were tied with all the dmen they signed prior. They even put him on his off-hand and he did just as well. Still work to be done but him and Clurman were pleasant surprises. Keeping him in jr instead of echl was more about the "elc slide"

it doesn't really matter how coveted either player is, they have NMC and will only waive them for teams they want to go to. Which means what you're getting in return for either of them is a lot less than open market.

Regardless, this trade is not what it will take for MAF and the avs don't need maroon. I think a 3rd might do it tbh, not with all that retention, but a 3rd across the board.

You keep saying this as if it matters. Those teams they'll waive for still have to pay the price the Wild want in order to get those players. And there will still be multiple teams in the running for them.

okay, then the Wild let these players walk next season with nothing in return and no playoffs to show for it. If you want to remain the middling team the Wild have been, then have at it.

Yeah because the 4th or 5th round pick you think you can get Fleury for is going to be the difference in the Wild's future lol

Don't go and look at when Kaprizov was drafted i guess. Or Kovalenko for the Avs, who is going to immediately slot into their 3rd line in April after the KHL season, drafted 6th round. Some assets are better than none, and it's not like the Avs can give up much more than a 2024 4th or a 2025 3rd if you're looking for picks. That's kinda all they have.

I don't really care about helping the Avs, and frankly I don't think the Wild front office does either. You're not the only team in the league.

I guess if there is one thing to take away from my terrible trade suggestions, it's not to sleep on Jeremy Hanzel. Haha. Between him, Gulyayev, Behrens, and the rise of Malinski this season. I think the avs have a lot more options than some people think that they do. I do hope Hanzel pans out though. I remember him in camp.

Habs probably accept this even though Evans does a good job as a 4th line C at a reasonable cost.
