Thread: Expansion twinsies
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wildnochance</b></div><div>Wild aren't giving up another young c in Joel Eriksson ek, my gosh

So you basically have wild giving up definition of 4 1st round pick or more, 4 players for 1 good players etc... haha</div></div>

I'm fine giving up JEE in a Dubois trade. I look at it this way: the wild may be moving out a center but it's for a younger, better, higher upside center who would help make up a lethal top 6 C duo for the future with Rossi. There's also no way that Columbus wouldn't be interested in or demanding Joel either

And it's not like the Wild can't afford to move out Joel, especially if it means PLD. There is enough organizational center depth to make this make this move. Especially since in this scenario, you're not losing any centers. You're moving one out, bringing one in

Thread: Roslovic Pionk
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OttBeavers</b></div><div>Spurgeon from the comments above should be a multiple Norris trophy finalist. C’mon everyone he is 31 years old with an huge contract of over 50 million dollars. Another small defenseman ( listed at 5’9 And 170 lbs) is just what the Jets DON’T need. For you Minny fans who say this is a bad trade for your team ,I dare say it would be a far worse trade for the Jets. Short term Spurgeon would definitely be an asset, long term we would regret that contract as most likely Minny will . When you think of it most long term deals for players in their early 30’s usually backfire in the last half of their contracts ( see Subban / Parise/ Neal / Lucic. ........... wouldn’t be surprised the Jets regret the last 2 years of Wheeler at 8.2 million. But I understand why they signed him at the time.</div></div>

Even if you don't like the term of Spurgeon's contract, this is still Minnesota trading an elite dman for a 3rd liner who recently requested a trade and Pionk who is simply not close to as good as 46, and it's not a debate. Still a good defenseman, just not on Spurgeon's level

So if Winnipeg plans on competing now, they do this everyday of the week. Not only is the value in their favour, but it also helps them accomplish what they want to do now, and that's win. This is a substantial upgrade for them

But this isn't even worth a debate, as Spurgeon wouldn't even consider waiving his NMC
