That’s interesting to me since Columbus has one of the worst prospect pools in the league.

I would argue Fiala might be the better player, certainly a lot more fun to watch! PLD playing center might force the Wild to add a 2nd...tops!

Barkov Hockey Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>I don't touch that trade from the MN side. Barkov is a rental+1 (same as Dumba), that's how they should be treated as far as value. Re-signing him or not has nothing to do with the initial trade value, it's why in years past there have been conditional picks for a player re-signing added to the trade.
His agent could promise he'll re-sign for a league min x 8 on his next deal and it means jack and squat because it can't be signed for 6 months. This isn't a trade-and-sign or sign-and-trade. It's a rental +1 and it's up to the receiving team to work out a deal or not when the time comes.</div></div>

For sure! There would definitely need to be a conversation with Barkov’s agent ahead of time. I’m sure Fla would need to know that Fiala would re-sign with them too.

Barkov Hockey Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EccE</b></div><div>Neither team does this. This is not the value of Barkov if he is resigned to his new team. So Panthers decline.
Wild decline, because they would go over the cap because of this, and the point of getting Barkov is to play him in the 1st line WITH Fiala and Kaprizov.</div></div>
I don’t agree with anything you said here. I thinks it’s fair value and I don’t think the Wild would necessarily play those 3 together anyway. Rossi and Boldy will need linemates too.

IF the Wild acquire PLD, I hope they can figure out how to do it without the inclusion of JEE...just in case Rossi can’t cut it at center in the NHL. Plus, a long-term center group of PLD/Rossi/JEE would definitely (again, IF Rossi pans out) make the Wild a consistent Cup contender for a long time...

A package of Dumba and Rossi for PLD has to be pretty darn close to enough, doesn’t it??? If it is, how many of you would pull the trigger?

Phi trade your thoughts

Even if he was to waive it, to be a team guy or whatever, it would a handshake deal that MN doesn't bribe SEA to take him. Even if MN was to bribe SEA that package wouldn't be enough to dump Zucc's contract, the 3rd is the most valuable thing in the deal.</div></div>
If Zuccarello has 1/2 a brain he should waive his NMC AND be begging the Wild to bribe Seattle to take him. The writing on the wall is obvious - he’s never (or shouldn’t) get big time minutes or big time opportunities with the Wild and their current and future collection of wings.

last attempt
I’m a little late to this party, but if this is the price for PLD...it’s a hard pass for me!
If Dumba has to be part of the deal, I would offer Dumba and Rossi OR Boldy...OR some other package of prospect/s and pick/s. I would only add if Savard was part of the return.
If Dumba is not part of the deal, I would offer Rossi and a 1st, or Ek, a 1st and Khovanov and/or Beckman.
If none of these packages are enough, I would happily walk away.
