I’d be down for Ek, but I don’t understand why Minnesota would consider moving him ever.

It'd hurt but I think the Avs would have to consider it. That said, I doubt Minny would want to move JEE.

Flyers pass

Byram and two 1sts is a tough price to pay. Not that he isn't worth it, but that will handcuff the Avs too much and another Dman will need to be moved if Landy returns.

Eriksson Ek isn't available. But for the sake of argument, a few points to make:

1) You are offering a 1st in the late 20s, an injury-prone young D yet to play a full season, and a presumably late 1st in 2026, so 2,5 years from now. There's some value but nothing that makes the Wild jump out of joy, no surefire asset. Eriksson Ek is a premium defensive 2C with an extremely team-friendly deal. You have to give something surefire to acquire him.
2) We are trading him to a divisional rival here. That means COL probably needs to pay a bit extra. Also, if we made JEEK available, there'd be a bidding war for the ages driving the price up even more.

So, to sum it up, this purely hypothetical offer is not enough for the WIld to trade their MVP to a rival.

It would be a true dream to have Fleury on this team. if the Wild fall out of a playoff spot, I can see them trading him, even if it's to a division rival.
I don't know about JEE though.

I don't mean to break this to you the hard way but the Wild haven't been in a playoff spot all season

Eriksson Ek is unavailable, period.

you're right lmao, I meant if they miss the playoffs.
