Thread: Deadline deals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>Nope. You got it all wrong. MIN fans and experts vastly overestimate Dumba. The guy's fragile and he isn't having a great season anyway. He' a number 2 d-man at best. So you say that MTL should give up a 4th d-man + a 1st line winger for a d-man injured all the time??? And MTL gets weaker on the left side, which is already a major weakness??? Dude stop.

Plus Anas is 26, Dnnato is a 3rd liner and a 5th is pretty much worth nothing. Peohling is worth much more than that.
And MTL isn't desperate to get rid of Weise, it's not like he has a 6 year term with a 4 mil cap hit

Bergevin passes, and it's a pretty easy decision.</div></div>

Don't know where you are getting dumba being "fragile" and "always hurt" only time in his career he missed substantial time was last year tearing his pec fighting the rat that is tkatchuk(where he put up 22 pts in 32 games before missing the whole season). Poehling isn't as exciting as MTL fans view him, IMO, 14 pts in over 60 games this year from a top prospect.

Thread: Dawn of a New Era
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Paul13</b></div><div>Fiala was 22. I get he is having a down year. 72 is a good number, but you don't pay for what a player use to be in hopes they do it again. Look how far Dumbas value has dropped on this site.

At current moment
Brodin &gt; or = to Domi
Donato &gt; Poehling
1st round pick &gt; or = Mete
Plus you are retaining salary. Wild can not afford to lose trades.</div></div>

I hear you, and don't necessarily disagree with you. Comparing Brodin to Domi isn't really fair, Domi has more "production," whereas Brodin does a lot nobody sees and don't get me wrong I love Brodin. I don't necessarily think the Wild lose this trade. Poehling has only had a sniff of the league, and he has a high ceiling, higher than donato. And I would call the first rounder from PITT more of a second rounder IMO.

Also imagine Kap - Domi - Fiala buzzin around the ice on a line

Thread: Dawn of a New Era
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Paul13</b></div><div>I just can't figure out why most of you want the Wild to get Domi?
If you want a number 2 center, which is what I think he is, then you are better off waiting and seeing how far away Khovanov is next year.
Domi's numbers to me do not look like number 1 center numbers.
I think the Wild need to find a true number 1, I think Domi is better than what we have at the moment, but I can't stand the thought of the Wild settling on more average.
Wild are better off clearing cap space and acquiring prospects and picks with a few exceptions and staying patient.</div></div>

Domi put up 72 in his first year with MTL, and (like dumba) is having a down year. IMO Domi is solid and a new team/system may help him excel. ESPECIALLY playing with talent like Kap on the left. People had the same thoughts about Fiala when we traded for him and currently he is playing like a certified star.

Thread: lineup for tomorrow
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Think you are reading into this too much.

Seeler hasn't played in the NHL since December 7th.
Seeler has only played 6 AHL games and 6 NHL games this entire season meaning he's a borderline AHL/ECHL guy it seems.
Seeler hasn't had any opportunity to understand the Hawks system.

This IMO is coincidence that he was picked up off of waivers from the Wild and the Hawks happen to be playing them tomorrow night. The reality is, Seeler isn't much of a NHL player and the hawks need more defensive depth in Rockford given that Boqvist is now with the Hawks, Gilbert was called up yesterday and Holm departed back to Sweden last month.</div></div>

Seeler hasn't played for minny bc soucy is outplaying expectations. Seeler just got the short end of the stick being the seventh man out, hopefully he fills a large enough need for CHI because he deserves it

And yes, the NTC is something they need to get around now, but I would take the second of the two trades
