<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GophersBenJ</b></div><div>The grief line is one of the best in the nhl. Foligno and ek struggle without Jordan greenway. Don't know why you think Guerin who loves big body players like greenway is going to trade him, take him off a line that struggle without him. Especially after giving him a 3 years extension. It would be like saying Guerin would trade Alex G. Sorry but as a wild fan , as a black person not going to agree with you that both goid black player's should be traded</div></div>

man i wish the wild could keep all those players. i agree greenway is very unlikely to be traded after singing a 3 yeats extansion. but i think they ahould.move on from dumba instead of fiala. for the first time in their franchise, the wild have are a deep team.scoring threat, and with all the d prospct in the system, it might make more sense to trade him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ALjet12</b></div><div>Good Luck in Trying to Resign Him.</div></div>

You mean the guy who has basically more or less pleaded to stay in Minnesota the last few years while his name has swirled in the rumor mill despite his absolute stated desire to play for the Wild his entire career? That guy? Because that guy would take an <em>extremely</em> team friendly discount if it means he could stay and do just that.

His desire to remain in Minnesota far outweighs any desire to get paid what he's worth. His past interviews discussing just that have stated as much.

The same cannot be said for those who trade for him, or that it lessens his value. You can't force lesser value when the player you're trying to acquire is willing to sign for less then his worth to remain with his current team. Either pay what his value is or get beat by a better offer, Guerin isn't going to take less just because you feel like it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GophersBenJ</b></div><div>So only complain on two: Joel Eriksson ek and foligno sucks without greenway, vice versa. A player who also signed an extension doesn't get traded

Question: is 1mil for Gaudreau worth being traded? He's starting to score and food defensively?

Don't think Noah dobson is worth fiala and calen addison: reasons
(Fiala can bring back a 1st and potentially a c prospect like Gridley?) Then adding calen addison I respectfully think it's too much</div></div>

I don't see the Wild trading a player they just re-signed, Greenway, but i needed cap space and he didn't get any protections, so if the right deal came along i think Billy definitely moves him. As far as Foligno Ek sucking without him, i just think they have great chemistry together i think as soon as they give a guy more than a 2 period trial with that line you might start to see that chemistry develop.
As i stated i think Gaudreau is worth his contract but I'm continuing the youth movement.
