Thread: Wild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caerii</b></div><div>The only cap benefit it has for the Wild is we lose Kulikov's cap hit. There is no benefit for us to take on any LTIR. We could achieve the same result by trading Kulikov for future considerations.</div></div>

I think the thing that everyone forgets is that the Bolts traded for Seabrook in the offseason when you can be over the cap by 10% also Johnson had a 5 million dollar cap hit and Seabrook was 6.875 so it was almost a wash there. The only time the Bolts gained from this trade was AFTER the first game of this past season because before they could put Seabrook on LTIR they had to be cap compliant BEFORE they could move Seabrook to LTIR. If I remember correctly they were short player/players the first game because Seabrook was still on the active roster the first game this past season.

Thread: Changes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>I mean you just said it yourself: they are screwed with cap. So IF we want to trade them a Brodin, Dumba, or hell even a Zucker or Foligno, there's no way they can afford to take those players without giving us a player with a higher cap. They literally cannot make a trade where they give us straight picks and prospects for Brodin/Dumba/Zucker/Foligno since they don't have the cap space to make it happen. That's why they are such bad trading partners for us because we need picks and prospects (or at least a young NHL player that would have a low cap hit like Cirelli) if we trade any of those guys, not your Gourde/Killorn/Johnson/Palats of the world.</div></div>


Why do you think Tyler Johnson is not a fit here?? They need D-men to help fill out there roster but in order to do that they need to give up Fowards on the current roster to a make it work.

Thread: Trade with Van
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>Zucker is a lot better than you think. Here's a quote from The Athletic that really puts things into perspective

"Zucker, one of the Wild’s fastest players, ranks tied for 47th in the NHL the past three seasons with 76 goals and tied for 34th with 60 even-strength goals."

Not just among wingers, but <em>47th in the NHL over 3 seasons</em> in goals and <em>34th in the NHL</em> for even-strength goals. That's top-line forward production. He's not a superstar or anything, but he's a really solid winger and way better than people give him credit for IMO.</div></div>

Look I get it Zucker is better than Avg but maybe it's just the idea that he is from the old guard and I just want a change because this team has not done much with him and the guys that have been traded.

Thread: Trade with Van
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>Because I don't think Virtanen and Gaudette will ever be more than 3rd liners. I'd love to be wrong, but you don't trade a good top 6 forward on a team-friendly deal for a bunch of "maybe" 3rd liners. I'm fine with moving Zucker for a young right shot player, but I wouldn't be happy if it were for Virtanen and Gaudette.

Edit: Also, our owner doesn't want a rebuild (which is what waiting for the Parise and Suter contracts to run out would be). He wants to try and win every year since playoff revenue puts money in his pockets</div></div>

I know but he is an Idiot who can't see the forest for the trees this Wild Team is not going to do much in the West the way it is now. If they do make the playoffs they will be done in the first or second round as usual.

Thread: Trade with Van
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>Cap and roster space issues aside, Virtanen (Tanev, too) was the name thrown around during the Zucker trade rumors and Fenton obviously didn't feel like that was sufficient. I like Gaudette and I like Virtanen, but I wouldn't pay Zucker to get them since I think both won't ever amount to more than middle 6 players (where Zucker is a top 6 player).</div></div>

What am I missing why would we not do this trade (besides the cap issues)?? We get younger and right shots and Zucker is still part of the old guard that were supposed to take this team to the next level and they did not that's why they are gone. I say get as young as we can around Parise and Suter while we wait for there contracts to run out and at this point I think that change just for the sake of change maybe the best route at this point for this team.
