Thread: Wild deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skeating622</b></div><div>JEE is not a Top 10 C in the NHL, stop it.
Tell Patrice Bergeron he's a better defensive center.
Strome is 27.
Now they gotta pay JEE as a very good defensive C, which he is, &amp; not based on his 3rd line C offensive production, you cant have it both ways. Wild Cap doesn't look too bad in the immediate future with those UFAs coming off the books.
My comment on Suter &amp; Parise was, Guerin's gonna wait 4 years to add, to compete until those deals are done? I find that very unlikely.
If the Wild are sitting where they are at the deadline, BG is going to try to add offense, especially for the PP. Not saying that would be at the expense of JEE or involve NYR.

NYR wouldn't have any reason to take the trade as originally proposed.

i get it, you probably have his poster on your wall &amp; got his autograph, he fits that system well &amp; could be a top 6 forward, 2C for the Wild, maybe win a Selke, but Top 10 in the NHL? come on.</div></div>

Dude Guerin doesn't give a Jack about Ryan suter, or Parise

The younger movement has taken over in Minnesota

Yes, you are wrong because any move Guerin has made was everything to bring in new leadership,. Guerin isn't making move by on helping parise or suter, that is a fact

You are wrong about wild cap. Wild have close to 25 mil in cap room, &amp; will have more if dumba is traded, , or one of cam Talbot/ soucy gets selected or dumba selected

You can simply look at articles out there in which Guerin has made it clear he's not adding to this year's roster, not hurting future, , &amp; he's also not taking from this year's roster in terms of player's who are free agents

He's already talked to wild players about this

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skeating622</b></div><div>I mean Suter &amp; Parise have 4 more years on their deals, i don't think Bill Guerin ,who got hired in 2019 is looking to wait that long to make a push, especially with a team sitting in 3rd place , plays a solid Defensive game. I think he's gonna add some offence at the deadline &amp; a lot of times that's a cost towards the future. Not saying it means THIS deal per se.

The problem with a guy like JEE is you cant hold him up as your best center when it comes to this value to the team &amp; trade value &amp; then try to pay him like a 3C as that what his offensive stats lean towards.
I'd not be surprised if gets 5 - 6 years in the 5.5- 6 million ballpark even a bridge deal for 2 years would be in the 4+ range.</div></div>

Wrong on all accounts. Guerin doesn't give a flying jack about suter &amp; parise. He's made it clear he's already told players he's not adding, or taking away from this year's roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skeating622</b></div><div>NYR aren't making trades for the future if moving a piece from their top 6, Gorton is only going to make "hockey trades" &amp; trying to get a roster player with term or a RFA back if they were to move Strome.
Min is looking to make a run in the playoffs &amp; has a closing window to compete, Strome helps the leagues worst PP &amp; plays as maybe MIN's 1C &amp; he's got a year on his deal.

Khusnutdinov + 2021 2nd are pieces that aren't going to help the Wild for 3-4 years , They keep their 2, 1st rounders which they can use one of as more trade capital if it presents itself or just keep.
&amp; Strome is an upgrade at C in the short term over Ek Erickson, at least on the offensive side of the game. What are they gonna pay JEE after this season?</div></div>

Joel Eriksson Ek is a top 5, top 10c in the game right now.

Joel Eriksson Ek is a top defensive c in the NHl.

To think wild would ever trade Eriksson Ek much less for Ryan strome who is in his 30's or close to it is comical
