Thread: Oil Change
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheDream_43</b></div><div>I respect this point of view. I personally don't see Zaitsev being worth his contract though, I can see him as a 4D(we can't pay 4 of them 4m+ with our forward group). The roster is getting disturbed the moment Nylander signs anyways, and I do believe Dubas is looking (at NYR Last night) to move a RW. I also think to rid ourselves of the risk of having Zaitsev not be worth the money is a smart move with a cap crunch in the forefront. Turning this into 1 or 2 trades would be a lot more sensical I agree, I find it hard to come up with though. Thanks for the input!</div></div>

Keep trying. That's how we all learn.

Any time you feel singed (past particle of "singe"), you can console yourself with the knowledge that early in my corresponding, I traded Erik Karlsson to Florida so that Mrs. Karlsson could reacquaint herself with Mrs. Hoffman.

Thread: Spurgeon to PIT
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheDream_43</b></div><div>Spurgeon is a huge piece for sure, hard to let go but if you need scoring it could help. Not meaning to take it back to Toronto like everything else, but as a Minnesota fan what would you think of A.Johnsson and a 1st for him? Fast scoring forward that has a little bit of age on sprong but may be more proven. I'd assume Toronto would need to add another lesser prospect</div></div>

I like the 1st but my only gripe with Johnsson is that he's left handed. Charlie Coyle is our only right shot forward in our entire top 9 which has been a huge problem in the faceoff circle as well as scoring (particularly on the PP). Add in the fact we already have Zucker and Parise (also Niederreiter who can play both LW or RW but is currently at LW), and then the fact that Kaprizov will be here in 2 years, and you can see how much of a logjam we have for top 6 LW's. If anything I think Johnsson has a worse shot at making the lineup here than in Toronto. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that Johnsson could be a great player, but he doesn't fill a need for us and I think we only trade Spurgeon if we feel it fills a need. That's why I've made a million Nylander trade threads. I think you're spot on with value, though (Spurgeon for 2019 1st + Johnsson + meh prospect) I'm just not sure the Wild take that trade.
