Thread: Wild Trade Candidates for 2022-23
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>iAce</b></div><div>In terms of this post I think all those players are to be had at the right price. Hartman is probably the one I'd like to keep because he plays a solid game. He isn't a 1c and his post season, to me, wasn't fair to judge him on it. The post season is a different animal. I look at Tampa Bay for years lost in the first round and then made some massive moves to bring in the players that would help them get over the top. Kaprizov can do anything he wants on the ice, much like Kucherov. Wallstedt coming up might give us that lock down goalie that can steal games like Vasilevskiy. We hope we have Rossi playing like Point. Ek is similar to Cirelli. We still need pieces and the back end isn't near what Tampa's back line is. They are big and nasty. Even Colorado has size and nasty on the back end. One of my most wanted trades is Greenway to Toronto for Knies and a second/third. But I think the players above are accurate to players that might need to move. Jost is one I'd like to see what he can do with elevated time and talent.</div></div>

Is that the going price for Greenway/Knies? I actually have a trade in the drafts of Greenway for Knies but I wasn’t sure what to add or take away. I know Toronto would be looking to shed cap, so I feel like we would either need to take Kerfoot, Holl, Mrazek or they would have to be moved in advance. If thats what we could get for Greenway, I would do it right now and either try to sign Nichushkin or trade for Iafallo at the right price to complete that Ek and Foligno line. I would also like to get Robertson if that was possible

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>I wouldn't move Dumba until either Addison or Faber show they are legit. Jost would be someone the Oilers or Kraken would want imo, maybe even Montreal.</div></div>

My only issue with waiting on Addison or Faber is that could result in dumba leaving in FA if you wait too long. i think Faber is sound enough defensively that he is probably a safe bet to be at worst a low end 3rd line rd. I also think with how deep the Wild are at D prospect, they could get away with one of the LD prospects and playing Goligoski or Kulikov on the right side if it comes down to it. I think its easier for them to make something work than it would be to try to milk it out for too long, but I understand your thought on it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IcemanJoe</b></div><div>I bet MN would consider this if they moved Dumba out first. We have to clear cap space first.</div></div>

I wouldn’t mind this at all. I think they could make it work without trading Dumba too. They could sign Strome to a 1 year deal because he doesn’t become an UFA until 2024, wait until the trade deadline and if Strome seems like a longterm fit, sell Dumba and retain half of his cap at the deadline to a contender, or if the Wild are a contender they can ride out the season, but risk Dumba walking. If Strome doesn’t seem like a fit, sell Strome next offseason and resign Dumba. If Strome absolutely goes off and is looking at a bigger contract, they get to decide if they want to sell Strome for a haul or sell Dumba/let Dumba walk and move someone else (maybe Greenway, and put Duhaime in his spot?).

I just see so many opportunities where the Wild could benefit from this kind of trade.

Thread: Leafs Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dannydanger</b></div><div>I don't think there would be a trade around Talbot and Robertson - I think Dubas opt to test the UFA market instead. I'm a huge fan of Foligno, I really think the Leafs need someone like him on their second or third line. Talbot was added to the trade just anticipating that Minny is actually going to sign MAF and that they want to clear cap space (take $6.whatever million off the books instead of just Foligno's cap). What would it take to get Greenway?</div></div>

Hard to tell, Big defensive power forward on a team friendly 3 year 3m per deal. I think I would swap him in for Foligno in the trade above and ask for a 3rd or something on top of it. I don’t see Guerin breaking up the GREEF line but if one had to go it would be Greenway. If I was in Guerin’s shoes, I wouldn’t be actively shopping Greenway but if an enticing offer came through I might be willing to take it. Another example would be if the Wild somehow landed Iafallo from trading Fiala, I would almost prefer Iafallo over Greenway on that line which would make me much more willing to move Greenway.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wildnochance</b></div><div>Absolutely not from Wild. Montreal fans: you aren't using Minnesota to get 2oa. Minnesota will just trade fiala to devils themselves. Dumba isn't available</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wildnochance</b></div><div>I completely understand, but Minnesota can trade fiala directly to devils and get a top c prospect 2oa</div></div>

My thought process is the number 2 pick would likely be Cooley and he would presumably not be ready for at least 1 year, maybe 2. This move would be to be able to compete immediately while also having the future in mind.

In regards to Dumba, I agree that he is probably not going to be moved, I think he should because it is going to get very tough to keep him around unless he signs for 5m or less, especially if Boldy improves next season and demands a larger contract than 6m or so, which I could see being likely.

So, despite this not being the most realistic, it was an idea to get a Fiala and Dumba replacement who will likely come with a cap hit quite a few million lower than Fiala and Dumba following them being resigned in 2023.

If Cooley was 100% NHL ready this year I would much prefer that route, but in the interest of not wasting more years of Kaprizov than we need to, I would not mind reuniting Caufield with Boldy.
