Thread: After the dust

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Treize131</b></div><div>If Dumba is off the block that's fair enough.

But in terms of return, Bennett is no where near Monahan numbers. A second (next year) and a prospect is laughable for Monahan. And, for the record, a Monahan/Dumba flip is a negligible cap swing so that has no bearing in a trade like this.</div></div>

I’m just speculating. I agree that Dumba for Monahan is pretty close but both guys don’t seem to have the interest to get a 1st and change back. As crazy as it sounds I think that’s what you’d see these guys move for if they do move.

What makes it happen then?</div></div>

I think trading Dumba is off the table after the Suter buyout. As for Monahan, I’d go Bennett like return at the most. He’s a big cap hit.

I like Schmidt. Like I really like Schmidt and his goofy ass smile. But look at the term on his deal, not to mention he’s gonna be over 30 soon.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>I've seen a couple of Pettersson to the Wild trades already just today. They've run the gambit from giving them 2 3rd rounders to giving them Greenway for Pettersson and a 22 2nd.

I kinda like that Greenway one.</div></div>

I do too. I wonder what the market will end up looking like. When I saw the Oleksiak/Larsson signing and the sheer number of 4/5 d men, it felt like they were trying to corner the market. I would like to fill a few holes before the draft if only for the certainty.

Thread: Real talk

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>Why? As much as I would love it if it happened, it won't, Oleksiak just signed for 5x$4.6M and McCabe will likely cost around the same price point. $4M is the going standard rate for legitimate Top 4 defenseman in the NHL these days.

Why does everyone continue to think we can get a possible top 4 caliber player for less than market value?</div></div>

If I’m not mistaken McCabe’s 2 year deal on EW is around 2 mil, but I could be wrong. That’s been my basis for his number.

As for Pettersson, we’d be making a trade and we will need the cap so I think it would be prudent get some extra room. You obviously have to pay for that but it could be very worth it I’m the long run.

Pettersson with a bit of retention is worth a very serious look.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>Not necessarily. Boldy isn't due up for another two seasons, and even then probably gets a two or three year bridge deal to get him past the final year of the large dead cap.</div></div>

That’s just the deal I’m most concerned about. Boldy burned that first year on purpose and it looks like BG will hold that against him, as he should. And yea, it will be a bridge but it may also be that I’m reacting to Guerin’s negotiating style rather than any specific contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>Guerin will look to fill the void with UFA's I suspect.</div></div>

Yup. I’m really hoping for a run at McCabe as a Soucy replacement. Interested to see what he does for Suter since you can’t really replace that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>Guerin has already offered Menell a 1 year 2-way contract. Russo reported that it was a take it or leave it final offer.</div></div>

He’s setting a good precedent for the Boldy negotiation here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OutCold13</b></div><div>I think Guerin was counting on the Soucy cap space, not that he wasn't worth every penny, but because the Wild are in the situation they are in.

I know it’s petty but I don’t give Menell a one way deal. The other thing I think of is that Soucy and Menell play very different games.

Gotta fill that hole somehow and his got on the 3rd pair was fantastic. I know there’s a lot of talk about Menell but I’m not sold yet.

Anyways, just seeing what other folks think of the idea.

Thread: Opening Night Roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNBassman</b></div><div>Greenway and the Pitt 1st for Kokkaniemi?</div></div>

I mean, value wise it probably works but I don’t think it makes sense to move Kotkaniemi for anything less than a player of his own level. Maybe they use the assets to get a guy like Hertl or Kuzy?

I know I sound like a broken record, but if we are keeping the transaction to just the Wild and the Habs then the only player that moves the needle is Fiala. If we think KK can jump into the top 6 right now, I think that’s a knockout.

Thread: Opening Night Roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Clement</b></div><div>Question? Is it too crazy that with the return nick foligno got, greenway can get more?</div></div>

Foligno was traded under the pressures of the trade deadline. When you see a path to the cup at the deadline, you value the present much more than the future and your success actually makes the pick you trade worth less. Out of season, there is much more risk in giving up a high asset value and there are many other options from a team building perspective.

All this is to say that teams do weird things at the deadline and no, Greenway will not get more than Foligno.

Thread: Opening Night Roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Clement</b></div><div>How about greenway?</div></div>

Montreal would have to be crazy to do it, KK is way more valuable. Greenway is a hard eval because there likely isn’t anything more to him but he is very big and a good complementary piece. I think you’re looking at a Kunin style return if he does get moved.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Clement</b></div><div>I think wild can get him for 1st round pick,,and not dumba</div></div>

Agreed, but I think it will cost a high end roster player to get it done. Somebody that adds more now than KK does. That’s Fiala on the Wild.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Clement</b></div><div>Seattle isn't trading Larsson
Also, wild can get Jesperi K for way way less. He's not even worth dumba considering Jesperi had numerous scratches because he wasn't good including final few games of Stanley cup games</div></div>

Dude, Kotkaniemi turned 21 this summer and has finished his ELC. He was scratched for reasons unknown, but he’s valued. The question is by how much and by whom?

I gotta say, I don’t know if the Wild make the playoffs with this defense. It’s not bad but stripping it for marginal upgrades up front is a risky move.

Possibly after the draft. I think they want to give everything they have to sign him. Otherwise KK and the 22 1st would be good.

I get the sense Montreal needs a bit of everything. If I had to guess though, a dynamic scorer would be a nice add if they think they’re close. They obviously have to replace Weber but I think they could get in on Risto for a reasonable price.

I wonder if Montreal would consider Fiala for Kotkaniemi and the 2022 1st. If Fiala is gonna hold out for term, this would be a great return.

Well, expansion exemption is kinda moot at this point. Lol. Waiver exempt was what I meant.

Maybe that shiny new goalie makes Gustavsson appear a little less great. 🙃

So long as he’s expansion exempt, that’s the biggest thing. With Kaapo likely getting taken, just trying to see if puzzle pieces fit.

What do you think the odds of OTT taking a goalie at 10?
