Thread: Wild Fans Get in Here
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>I agree that Boldy is worth more than Guhle atm, but not to the extent you're suggesting and that's being suggested in this trade. If Kent Hughes was hell bent on getting Boldy and had to overpay, then this deal is fine.

Let's not undersell Guhle here, he's still very much <strong>projecting</strong> to be a top pairing defensemen, and is trending to achieve that projection. The scouting report on this very website suggests it, multiple scouting reports and articles from other websites (the Athletic recently wrote about Guhle, etc.) suggest the same. All agree he won't be a superstar, but a steady reliable two-way top pairing guy.
Best comparable I can think of that Guhle is <strong>projecting</strong> to become, is Jacob Slavin. Not a superstar, doesn't play the PP, but plays the most even strength and PK minutes and can put roughly between 30-40pts a season. Definitely a top pairing guy.</div></div>
I agree with you 100% that Guhle is <strong>projecting</strong> to be a top-pair LhD. <strong>100%</strong>. My point is that a projection plus a last-quarter first don't come close to a youngster drafted 12th overall who has already proven that he's an All-Star.

Thread: Does Minnesota even listen to this offer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>Likely not considering that Minny has a lot of issues with their Cap, but JEE isn’t one of them.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>Canes don’t consider any of these. If the Wild have any plans to trade JEE, the Canes probably go for Necas and a 1st as the centerpiece of the deal instead.</div></div>

Yea the Wild don't do this trade. Kotkaniemi is a worse version of JEE who the Canes inexplicably extended for eight years as soon as they got him, and Suzuki is a useless throw-in. With their cap problems through next season, a hypothetical JEE trade would involve a Necas + blue-chip prospect with an ELC instead of picks.
