For someone who praises up Spurgeon as one of the best d men in the league ‘Spurgeon for Ekblad straight up is fair”. “Spurgeon is better than Justin Faulk”. You sure do try to trade him alot. Lol

Either you have a large case of homerism or you are a used car salesman. Lol

He is nice 2nd pair defenseman. 4th best d man on your team. Hard pressed to call him one of the top 50 d men in the league. Probably Just outside that bubble. I know you are going to freak out about that but stop and think about it. 31 teams...doesn’t take long to get to 50. A couple teams have none. Most have 1 or 2 and a few have 3 or more.</div></div>

You are delusional if you think he is the 4th best d man on the Wild. He is one of the smartest and most consistent in the league. Yes, he isn't big and flashy, but he is arguably the best all-around defenseman on the team. I just think you like to hate on all posts because you must know anything and everything about every player in the league.

Thread: Fenton The Savior
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arousedcat</b></div><div>One of the only realistic offensive players I'd be comfortable moving Spurgeon for is William Nylander (obviously Matthews or Marner among others but those aren't realistic). I could see something happening there, although I know Bruce Boudreau thinks very highly of Spurgeon so he wouldn't be happy if Fenton traded him.</div></div>

With Suter up in the air, the two guys on the blue line that the Wild really can't move are Spurgeon or Brodin unless they are certain they can fill those roles, especially Spurgeon. If trading Dumba gets them the young scorer that they covet, then that would make the most sense. At the same token, it is hard to part ways with a young D that just put up 50+ points. Fenton has to be confident they can fill out the D-core when/if they move somebody.
