<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JayTea</b></div><div>Pretty sure Yurov just signed a 1 year extension with his KHL team, but you could basically swap Khusnutdinov for him in this scenario since it sounds like he still might debut in North America before this season ends.</div></div>

He hasn't signed yet. Here's a quote from this week's insider from Russo and Smith:


<a href="https://theathletic.com/5278890/2024/02/19/wild-insider-middleton-fleury-bogosian/?source=emp_shared_article" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Wild first-round pick Danila Yurov is expected to sign a one-year extension with his club, league-leading Metallurg Magnitogorsk, in the KHL. He let the cat out of the bag on a Russian TV show, although Guerin says the contract isn’t signed yet, it’s complicated and Yurov, too, told The Athletic that he negotiated better terms but hasn’t signed yet.

Regardless, the Wild are fine with Yurov, 20, continuing his impressive development in the KHL. Yurov recently tied Vladimir Tarasenko’s KHL record for most points (47 points in 46 games, including 21 goals) in a single season for a 20-year-old.

Speaking of Russians, second-round pick Marat Khusnutdinov’s season with KHL Sochi ends Sunday, and then the Wild will look to sign the forward to his NHL entry-level contract and bring him over to North America soon after.

“Hopefully we can get these guys over here as soon as possible because I think they’re both ready,” Guerin said. …</a>

Thread: An argument supporting Monahans value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyManiac95</b></div><div>Yes. For some time I agreed, but then I did some research. Monahan this year has 28 points. How many are 5v5? 15. The other 13 are on special teams (11 on PP, 2 on PK). So how many more 5v5 points does he have than PP? It comes out to a grand total of 4. That's it. As noted by others in this acgm, he will not have those kinds of PP minutes in Colorado. He just won't. This is not to discount those 11 points. Points are good. I'm just saying that one of his strengths would essentially be unusable.

And even if he does get some PP2 time (he sure as heck isn't getting PP1 time, how often do you think he'd score within 30 seconds or less (about the amount of time Colorado's PP2 is out)? I'd say not as often. Therefore, his scoring would decrease, which in turn decreases his value. I'm sure he could make up for it in ways (between Lehky/Drouin and Nuke), but again, he becomes less valuable in that way. Even that argument probably wouldn't work either cause we thought the same of RyJo at first.</div></div>

I think a reasonable place to land is maybe a first with some pretty tall conditions (e.g. conference finals and games played/whatever by Monahan). Otherwise its a second. Still not sure it's Colorado that goes for it, but I could see it working for someone.

Thread: An argument supporting Monahans value
I like this thread so far. Good discussion.

Others have pointed out the flaw in basing value off of point production considering PP usage, but I also think it’s important to consider team composition and what role a 2C plays.

If your 1C is Patrice Bergeron, a guy who won a billion Selkes, your 2C probably won’t be relied on to play heavy match up minutes.

If you’re a team like Vegas or Carolina that rolls 4 very productive lines: having a formal 2C is less paramount. I’d argue that Karlsson and Stephenson were both 2Cs. And Carolina has like… four 4th lines and somehow it works. There are different ways to build a productive roster.

For a team like Colorado: your 1C is Nathan MacKinnon. Elite offense, but not necessarily the best defensive player. The ideal complementary player is a defensively responsible 2C. Kadri played that role well. Compher is more of a 3C, but he kinda fit that mold.

Monahan is not that type of player. Maybe he could be a fit on a team like Colorado, but I’d argue it’d be more of a 3C scoring role and Colorado would force Colton to be the defensively responsible C you put out to protect a lead in the 3rd period.

I think that’s part of why you see many many Avs fans reject Monahan for a high pick range. Monahan wouldn’t be bad necessarily, but he would come with question marks for Colorado. Maybe another team where his skill set fits their needs better would pay a premium. But for me, I would be disappointed if Colorado did a Monahan for a 1st+ trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>The worst thing is, every argument against him is that he is a pp merchant when he has more pts at 5v5 than on the powerplay playing with Gallagher, Anderson, Roy and Armia.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>Technicalities really…Fluery wouldn’t be calling teams or receiving trade proposals from other teams. Yes, there is a decision to make. Are the Wild good enough to win and compete or not. That is the decision.</div></div>

That's IF Fleury reverses on his decision that he doesn't want to be traded again. Just because the Wild aren't good enough doesn't mean Fleury will suddenly want to leave his family for a few months again.

I think a lot of people are confused about this situation. Fleury is the one that doesn't want to move for personal reasons. It's not up to the Wild at all. And even if he changes his mind and wants to go after another Cup, the Wild don't have to trade him without getting the value they want in return.
