Thread: acquiring tanev now then flipping him at the deadline read description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>I don't want to trade for any rental. Just get used to the taste of this poo samich of a team now because it's going to be the same team next year too. Spending assets now is just throwing good money after bad.

It's not like the team took a dramatic turn for the worse without Spurgeon in the lineup. MN was 5-9-2 (61.5p pace) with him in the lineup. Going into tonight's game they are 13-11-3 (88p pace) without him.</div></div>

The whole point of this post was because Joe Smith stated that the Wild will be looking to acquire a defensemen to replace Spurgeon at the very least until the TDL. I didn't make this because I think the Wild shouldn't do it, I was just looking into a possibility of what could make that happen.

Thread: My Take On A Lindholm Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>It's a pretty major difference lmao. That's like at minimum a 2nd round pick in value difference. Lindholm's not even being shopped right now anyways so whoever the writers are that you are referring to are just purely speculating. Also saying "a prospect" is quite a large spectrum. Danil Yurov for example is a prospect, but so is Matvei Guskov. Two completely different calibers of potential</div></div>

Yurov is pretty untouchable and Guskov is obviously going to stay in Russia for the remainder of his career. Khusnutdinov is a great two way center who is having a quiet season on a bad Sochi team. I picked Khusnutdinov because his play is very similar to Lindholm aside from the fact that he is still obviously developing. Many people project him as a middle six two way center in the NHL.

Thread: My Take On A Lindholm Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>If you were basing it on the Bo Horvat trade you would need someone who is 25 and under with top 6 (if forward), top 4 (if defense) or 1A/1B potential instead of a cap dump like Merrill. It was widely reported that Vancouver was looking to add NHL ready players 25 and under when they were shopping Horvat so despite being dumped a month ago to Chicago, Vancouver valued him quite highly a year ago when acquiring him. So much so that he was instantly elevated to the 1st line once acquired and he played quite well there. You would also need to be trading a pick that is top 15 at the time of the deal or offer a prospect of that value instead.</div></div>

Okay good job you found the one difference between this trade and the Horvat trade. Multiple NHL writers have reported that the flames would likely need a 1st, prospect, and cap dump for Lindholm, which is exactly what I have. The Wild also currently have a top 15 pick lmao.
