I’m not sure I would give that much up for 2 Jack Eichels.

No way would I give up two 1sts for Taraseko with those shoulders of his.

More like Johansen and a 1st, plus retention to the Wild for a 7th round pick.

Thread: Trading Kaprizov Fiala and Dumba

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drmantalban</b></div><div>The Spurgeon contract pisses me off. I’ve taken tons of flak on other platforms for voicing that, but I’m with you on that being a piss poor signing. His trade value was astronomical, but we opted for the overpay and threw a NMC bow on top.

I’d happily dump Zucc and Dumba next year as well. I get that the FA pool wasn’t great this year, but what a brutal state for this franchise to be in. Two premiere players that we can’t seem to sign, and sure as **** can’t surround with talent.</div></div>

I’m also in the hating the Spurgeon contract club! In fact, I called the contract, strike two against Guerin. Strike one was being stupid enough to take the job!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>You mean like BUF, AZ, EDM, etc? They've been in a rebuild forever and never got out. McDavid, Drais and Eichel (for instance) are special talents and they've been stuck on garbage teams with nothing around them.

What would be your plan with this franchise?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>They had a quazi-rebuild with Fenton. To where this should have been a good team, and a center away from a really good team. Now it's just a bad team with 1 great player (Kaprizov).</div></div>

I’m not arguing with any of your points, but the fact is, this team cannot possibly compete for the Cup for 3-4 years so why not take this time to build something sustainable (for the first time in franchise history!!) and potentially special?!

Thread: Trading Kaprizov Fiala and Dumba

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Morzski</b></div><div>So what year are they into a rebuild now? Eventually this team is no longer in a rebuild and is just Bad, see Buffalo Sabers...

The Suter/Parise signings did a lot of good for a team that was terrible before they were signed. But they never did enough to be a truly elite team in the playoffs. So even with this "rebuild on the fly" is this actually year 1 coming up?</div></div>

If you can figure out how to make them truly and sustainably competitive without taking (yet another) step backwards, I’d love to see it.
I completely get your point…but something dramatic needs to be done if the Wild are to ever be a legitimate Cup contender!!

He would certainly be very, very close to getting either of them. He’s unbelievably talented!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>Fenton had it lots closer than GMBG does now. No awful Sprugeon deal, more young FWDs like Kunin and Donato filling out the roster to go with Fiala and Kaprizov.

Patience is fine, <strong>but this is a 7+ year rebuild, not a wait it out until the cap becomes manageable and go for it then.</strong></div></div>

More proof they should consider trading these players!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>It fits perfectly with how GMGB does things. Young players for nothing, signs old guys, and destroyed the cap. Chia is better than this joke of a GM.</div></div>

I’ve said since the day they hired BG that strike one against him was simply being stupid enough to take the job! In his defense (now) he had and has his hands tied with the cards he was dealt. I like the fact that he is rebraking the bone so it can heal properly. We fans just need to be patient…this team is still a looong ways away…with or without Kaprizov, Fiala, and Dumba…

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Amakoue</b></div><div>Dude overreactions much? You traded kaprizov for lesser players , and prospects.

It’s not an overreaction, I’m looking for ways the Wild can survive cap hell the next 4 years and time it with a very talented, very deep team. If my values are off, please offer suggestions.

Thread: What I think Will actually happen

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I think Jake McCabe is the ideal guy for Minnesota to pursue, but I think he gets twice as much, in both money and term. Why would he take a pay cut after playing in Buffalo? He's served his time.</div></div>

I agree. McCabe is the only free agent not named Kaprizov or Fiala that should get more than a one year deal. Guerin is going to have very busy off seasons retooling this roster until the P & S buyouts go bye bye.

I would rather have Sturm. He’s going to have much greater influence on future playoff series than Kerfoot will.

Thread: NO Eichel

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Clement</b></div><div>I respect that you like Rasmus r but he's not good, why do you want wild trading for him

2) wild could get jk very easily. You are talking about a player benched quite few times in playoffs including final 2-3 games in the rest of Stanley cup finals

3) dumba isn't getting traded. Respectfully, why does it seem among songs wild fans, they want him gone?</div></div>

I don’t want Dumba traded. I’m one of his biggest backers among Wild fans on this site. However, The Wild are going to be squashed by the cap for 3 consecutive years following the coming season and they are going to have to move one or two big contracts to make it through those 3 years. Dumba and Fiala are two most obvious pieces that can accomplish this.

I firmly believe that Risto and his game are perfectly suited for the Wild! He adds just about everything the Wild lack on the blue line and he just looks to me like a player made for the playoffs! I want him for the one year left on his contract to see if he fits like I envision and he can.

Thread: Wild jack take 2

With major cap issues coming soon, Boldy and Rossi (and their ELCs) are way too valuable to the Wild to both get traded!
