The Direction We Need to Go

Page 1 of 1

Created by: iAce

Team: 2023-24 Minnesota Wild

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 16, 2024

Published: Mar. 16, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Draft values may be off, but I would like the team to go in a different direction than we currently are heading. This will be aggressive trades and relying on the pipeline we have in place.

How bad are these?

Trades

Future Considerations

WSH

Johansson, Marcus

Additional Details:

Johansson sits in the box or waives and goes to a team that would play him. He's had a lot more success in Washington.

MIN

2024 7th round pick (MIN)

TBL

Merrill, Jon

Additional Details:

We get our 7th back and Merrill goes to Tampa as a 7th D

MIN

Schneider, Braden
2024 1st round pick (NYR)
2025 5th round pick (MIN)

NYR

Zuccarello, Mats
2024 2nd round pick (MIN)

Additional Details:

Taking a swing at a higher end draft piece to move up in the draft and get a guy we really like.

Zucc would be a good fit as a 2nd line guy for the Rangers. Wild give a spot to the young wingers coming up.

MIN

Knies, Matthew
2024 1st round pick (TOR)

TOR

Beckman, Adam
Spurgeon, Jared ($3,000,000 retained)

Additional Details:

Wild give up Spurgeon and retain on his deal for the remaining 3 years. Gives the Maple Leafs a huge piece on the right side and skilled to play with their forwards.

Wild get Knies who is big and ruthless.

MIN

2024 1st round pick (SJS)

SJS

Rossi, Marco
2024 1st round pick (MIN)
2024 1st round pick (TOR)

Additional Details:

Celebrini goes to Minnesota. Swinging big on a player who may have a higher ceiling than Rossi. Gives the Sharks a ton of assets to rebuild and get their org competitive.

I like Spurgeon and retained even more but no way Leafs are moving Knies imo and absolutely no way they’re given up 2024 1st too

I find it hard to believe San Jose would pass on a local kid, going #1 overall, with multiple ties already to franchise.

San Jose will never trade that pick BUT depending on what those picks are I guess it’s not the worst offer

Knies is hardly ruthless, and he' not that big. But he's a solid NHLer who likely gets quite a lot better.
Even at 4m, the Leafs pass on Spurgeon.

Saying Celebrini may have a higher ceiling than Rossi is pretty amusing. He's not even drafted yet and probably already a better player than Rossi. Zero chance Sharks consider that.

Moving on from Spurgeon definitely has some logic to it and Toronto is a pretty logical fit but there is no chance they would move Knies to get him. Also adding more dead cap seems extremely foolish

The Sharks won’t trade the Celebrini pick if they get it unless the offer is truly outrageous. Add Faber or Wallstedt and sub Rossi for Eriksson-Ek.

Rangers say not a chance on earth but counter offer Jonny Brodzinki for Erikkson Ek.

SJ not trading #1 for 2 picks in the 20's plus a player. nothing in NHL history indicates a deal like this would happen. It would have to be a 1 top 5 pick plus one 1 top 15 pick plus a players to even consider
