Thread: Wild after the Draft

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>theleano1</b></div><div>HARD Pass on the Dumba trade, Dumba is maybe only worth a late first to early second at this point Not blowing up the future for a Dman that can't play D</div></div>

This is an incredibly ignorant comment!

Thread: Blindfolded Shot in the Dark

I no longer believe skating pace/speed is the end-all-be-all for NHL players. I am most interested in players who can think the game and make proper decisions at a very fast pace! And, I’ll take a player who is great on his edges any day over a player who only has great A to B speed.
So, based on reports above, I would definitely be interested in Glass.
What would a trade for Glass potentially look like for the Wild?

When Haula played for my beloved Gophers, his nickname was, “Haula-fame” because of his massive ego!

Thread: Long shot deadline deal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phillyjabroni</b></div><div>Yo what's good? I reached out to you a month or so ago about potentially joining the GM Game on CapFriendly. I know last time you said you didn't have enough time, but if you're interested in helping me as an assistant GM just to get your feet wet, I'm looking to add some. There wouldn't be any time commitment or anything that takes a ton of time, but I'd want your input on trades and the upcoming draft.

Most of the communication rolls through Twitter (almost everyone creates a "burner" account for the game purposes). Let me know what you think.</div></div>

Thanks for the offer! I’m actually going through a divorce right now and I just don’t have my mind invested in stuff like this right now...

Please consider me again in the future though. Thanks!

Regardless of the price to acquire, who is the better long-term prospect: Frost or Patrick?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OutCold13</b></div><div>What you are offering is the absolute most I would offer from the Wild, anything more and the Wild reach the point of diminishing returns. I don't think Dumba to the Sabres makes much sense though, so maybe move him to another team and trade those assets to the Sabres.</div></div>

I’m 100% with you on this. I doubt it would get Eichel, but that’s my max offer too.

In half a heartbeat!

Thread: improving on a decent year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jnowariak</b></div><div>Oof. That’s an over pay. Couts in PHI got 4.3 mil by 6 years and he had at least 3 consecutive 35 pt seasons in a row leading up to that. 6 year term, definitely, but I think he could be had at 4 mil or less.</div></div>

I get your point, but Couturier’s contract is already yesterday’s news. Plus, I don’t think I would trade Ek for Couturier straight up...would you?

Forum: Armchair-GMMar 4 at 5:22

Thread: improving on a decent year

I would try to sign Ek to a 5-6 year deal at $4.75-5.25 million per.

Thread: Strome Trade Ideas

At the bare minimum, Fiala would cost you Strome AND Chicago’s 1st this summer.
Strome and a 2nd or 3rd is absurd! I wouldn’t even consider a Strome for Ek trade straight up!

Hard pass from the Wild - that’s WAY too much, imo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MJCrv</b></div><div>What they want doesn’t matter. The Rangers already made a massive offer in the offseason that included lafreniere.

The Sabres have been sitting on Eichel his entire career...

Of course the Minnesota fans are gonna come in and say no way because he'd just be a bottom pairing guy for them and they need all the good forwards they can get.</div></div>

That, and the fact it’s one of the most lopsided and ridiculous trades ever presented on the site! Foligno alone is worth more than that pathetic package of junk!

Thread: This is not happening pure fantasy

True story: i used to be a Wild season ticket holder and I decided to let my tix go around 4-5 years ago. I just didn’t like the direction idiot owner, Craig Leipold, and lap puppy GM Chuck Fletcher were taking the team. WAY too many all-in tdl moves giving away draft picks for a team nowhere near ready to be legit Cup contenders...
Anyway, i received a call from none other than former Wild player, Wes Walz trying to convince me to keep my tickets. He told me the Wild were in talks with Pittsburgh to acquire Malkin. He asked me, (paraphrasing) “would having a top 10 player in the world on the Wild make you reconsider?” I paused, thought about it for a moment, then replied, “No! The last thing the Wild need is another old player on a long term contract...even if the player is Evgeni Malkin!” Walz said, “Really?” I said, “Yes, really!” Call me back if they trade for a super star under 25.” Walz didn’t know what to say...

So...i imagine you can guess my interest level for the Malkin trade you are proposing here...

Thread: do this

I like Sam Bennett, but I wouldn’t give Sturm OR a 2nd for him...weak draft or not.
I would, however, gladly retain on Bjugstsd, and/or Johansson, and/or Bonino, and/or Rask for him. Heck, you can pick any 2 of those players and I’ll throw in a 4th just to say thank you!
