Thread: Any of these trades close
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rangers13232</b></div><div>dont feel comfortable trading othmann before he plays at least a year in the nhl. kids producing like crazy in the chl and the rangers need that scoring bad. miller is gonna play a year and a half for the rangers maybe they look at the ecf one of those years. othmann can be an elite scorer in the nhl for years for the rangers. not worth it imo

as for schneider. he's incredibly responsible defensively and productive enough offensively to be a top 4 2 way dman. w trouba almost definitely not completing his contract in new york i think they would be crazy to move schneider for miller.

as for kravtsov and lundkvist. i understand y you'd be hesitant only getting those two guys. they're ceilings r not nearly as high as schneider and othmann. however they r both good enough to be steady nhl players and have the tools to become rlly good nhl players. however the chances of that r for sure lower than othmann and schneider.

it rlly depends how desperate van is to move him. if they can't get any other teams to part w their high end prospects the rangers will likely offer up kravtsov and lundkvist. however i think the rangers look elsewhere at the deadline if van was insisting on schneider or othmann.</div></div>

Appreciate the write up, thank you.

I'm not a GM so what the hell do I know, but speaking from a semi knowledgeable fans perspective, I wouldn't want them to trade Miller for a player who projects as "steady". If we didn't have Hughes, I would be alot more open to taking Lundqvist as the main piece in a Miller trade, but we can't have even more undersized offensive defenceman, hence the interest in Schneider.

Thread: could be a cool move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rangers13232</b></div><div>greenway just got an extension so he's going to stay but i agree he should've been the odd man out. from what i've seen he's not anything special and fiala is light years better. i didn't like that extension. i rlly don't see anyway in which fiala stays already making 5.1 this year and he's due for a 6.5-7 upgrade in that contract.

nelson is at 6 which will be cheaper than fiala it's more of a replacement than a cap save. the save here would be dumba for mayfield++. minnesota won't need much breathing room in the cap w no extensions in the top 6 due for 2 years (boldy who they can bridge). nelson will easily pot 30+ goals on minnesota. so ur getting rlly rlly good value on that 6M too.</div></div>

Greenway has been really good for the last 25 games or so but at times can just be nonexistent out there

I don't think Nelson is bad but I also believe adding a 30 year old with 4 years left on a contract that you Amy not be able to fit in another year or so is wise. Sure, he could pot 30, but so could Fiala and I think he'd more likely as well. Fiala, despite only shooting at a 3.4% clip for the first 27 games (over 60%) of the season and having next to no offensive help until Boldy got called up, is still on pace for 26 goals over 82 games

The main reason to make a deal with a trade base of Fiala-Nelson should be to get better defensively. Forget the mediocre cap savings. But, Minnesota really doesn't need to get better defensively as a team at all. They need Fiala's speed and skill a lot more because before Boldy came up, there wasn't much behind the 1st line for consistent, high potential offense outside of Kevin.

So, with all of that said, and Rossi basically guaranteed that missing center spot in the top 9, I think the 1M or so savings against the cap doesn't make the idea worth it at all. Getting older, slower, minimal cap savings and the Rossi situation all make it a firm "No" from myself and probably Guerin as well. If Nelson was a rental, I'd be much more interested in trading for him.

I genuinely believe that next year's team needs a winger more than a center. Because if Fiala is gone, who takes his spot? We know that Rossi gets Guadreau's current spot, but who gets Fiala's? Adam Beckman? Do we really want to sacrifice line chemistry or have a line of 21 and unders? 2 of which would be rookies? Because those are the options if Fiala is moved.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rangers13232</b></div><div>as an isles fan mentioned above would u do fiala+dumba for nelson+mayfield++ this off-season to help the cap situation in minny</div></div>

honestly? Absolutely not. I don't think there's a single piece that the Isles would be willing to part with that I, personally, would be interested in enough to do that.

I think the added cap and age isn't worth it. Mayfield is a significant downgrade, and his contract expires next year as well.

And call me biased but I also think Fiala is the better player than Nelson with significantly more value. The team saves about 6M for a next year with that deal imo but that means you'll be able just add another peice to get the team back to a similar talent level as before

I could maybe get behind Mayfield++ for Dumba (Addison would have to be ready to take Dumba's spot) but I don't really have any interest in Nelson, regardless of whether it's Fiala going the other way or not. He's in his 30's and I think the need for a center will already be fixed next year with Rossi coming in.

there's definitely a start of something here, if Minnesota doesn't think they're going to be able to give Fiala what he wants I see this as a trade that makes sense from both sides. Islanders need scoring on the wings so Fiala would fit that mold, while center is one place the Islanders have some depth to work with. the buyout dead cap stuff makes it hard to add more pieces in - Minnesota doesn't have any really egregious contracts on their books that would be movable - maaaaybe Dumba's $6M gets moved to free up some room for 2022-23? Maybe work out a deal that's Fiala/Dumba for Nelson/Mayfield++? That would see around $12M next year moving out (assuming Fiala signs around $6M AAV) with about $7.5 coming in, giving the Wild a little more flexibility. Dumba-&gt;Mayfield is a definite step down but I'd argue that Mayfield with his $1.45M hit is better than anything the Wild would get to replace him with for that price in UFA.

Again, it would probably take too many moving parts to make it work but it's an interesting idea to toy with.
