Marcus Foligno
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jnowariak</b></div><div>Ryan Hartman from the Wild, he’s similar to Foligno in a lot of ways and playin* great hockey right now. Your ask is pretty big though. Gritty, can play top 6, also affordable. Might as well ask to chop down the biggest tree in the forest with a herring.</div></div>
<a href="/users/MatthewsDynasty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@MatthewsDynasty</a> I agree with Jnowariak here. Michael Russo brought up a great point that the Wild might be forced to move Ryan Hartman or risk losing him because he arbitration number might be too high for the Wild. Leafs could use him as a rental for this year if they're looking to get grittier. Due to his size, he's not as gritty as Foligno. However, he also is very skilled for a grinder. So if you're going to trade for a Wild winger...he's the most likely trade candidate.

I want Eichel as much as the next fan...but we are in no position to trade for him. We have to essentially empty the asset pool to get him. The only teams who should do that are teams in position to win right now...we are not there.

Best hockey memory
Mine was when my buddies and I attended a Wild game in Colorado. We had like a group of 12 I think? Anyways, we decided to tailgate for the game. We knew it was against the rules but we figured, who hell cares? Worst case scenario we hop over to the nearby bars. We didn't realize how much of a hit it was going to be. Of course, we were the only people tailgating so naturally a ton of people stopped by for a beer and to say hi (both friend and foe) before the game. We were broke college kids so we had a small foreman grill that we brought to the game. One problem, we forgot a pan to use for cooking. So had to improvise and use this bag of toothpicks as skewers for our hot dogs lol.
Anyways, so we get into the game and there are a LOT of Wild fans in the building. Every time the Go Avs Go chant started, we would immediately respond with "Let's Go Wild." The game was heavily in our favor. Final score was 4-0 and by the 3rd period all you could were Wild fans cheering. It was awesome. We were also prepared if they were to win. We had a few bottles of champagne that we sprayed all over the nearby parking area as if we just won a championship (I know, it was excessive but we were drunk college students). It was just all around fun time and can't wait to visit my buddies in Colorado and do that all over again!

Post Deadline
I'm sorry but that's a no from Minnesota. For what it's worth, I wouldn't trade Beckman for Strome straight up. That's not because of what Strome is but because we're "rebuilding" and Beckman is one of our top prospects. Strome would definitely help us out this year but we're not a true contender this year (at least I don't think so. Trying not to get my hopes up from this good start). Therefore I wouldn't want to trade one of our top prospects for someone who I consider a decent, but not good, center.

By FAR our biggest need right now. But, do you think we eventually trade him regardless? Since it sounds like Guerin wants to keep Foligno which would probably force a 7/3/1 expansion setup

Agreed. Which is also why I think Roslovic only wanted a bridge contract so he could prove that he's worth the long term investment that is surely coming to him

(CBJ/WPG) - Dubois and 3rd for Laine, Roslovic
Is this because Centers are valued much higher than wingers? PLD for Laine straight up was the only thing that made sense to me. Adding Roslovic for a 3rd seems outlandish and honestly a bit disrespectful to both Laine and Roslovic if you ask me. I hope both light it up in Columbus...of course this mostly because I really feel for Columbus' fan base.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JayTea</b></div><div>How was Bonino? He at least did well on faceoffs, no one else really seemed to.</div></div>
That's the thing. I didn't really notice him. So okay I guess? I mean he must've done well defensively or else I would've noticed his mistakes. But offensively I don't remember him creating any chances, cycling OR even forechecking.
I did notice Mar Jo. He was...rusty we'll call it. Mental lapses defensively. Didn't move the needle offensively. In fact, he turned the puck over in the offensive zone a few times. Just not a great performance from him

Game 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JayTea</b></div><div>NHL.com's summary of players making their debut, aside from Kaprizov.
"Bonino was 13-for-20 on face-offs, <strong>Johansson had one hit in 17:29 of ice time</strong>, and Bjugstad had one shot and one hit in 13:27"
So we acquired Johansson for his grit, right? Please? lol</div></div>
My thoughts are:
-Damn Kaprizov is good.
-Fiala may not have scored but he sure was effective offensively. I also think the bad ice slowed Fiala down or else he would've had an even bigger impact on the game.
-Talbot was ok. Shaky at parts, but settled in by the 3rd period
-Greenway looked to impose his will physically. Hope to see more of that and see the results pay off!
-All new additions not named Kaprizov were non-existent. I'll give them a pass since this is like preseason for all of them. But they need to mesh, and quickly.
-We NEED to be better in the faceoff circle. That was brutal to watch most critical draws go LA's way.
-And to finish it off: Damn Kaprizov is good.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>
- Fiala became the face of Minnesota. the faces of Chicago are long established. Your profile picture is one of said faces. Minnesota had no face, then Fiala exploded.
</div></div>
Ironically, that start of that explosion occurred against the Hawks no less. Ever since that game last year, he's consistently brought the energy to this lineup every night. Sure there's been games that he's pressed too hard and turned over pucks as a result. But there's no denying that Fiala is the force that drives our offense (well Kaprizov might join him after last night's performance).
So with that being said, I agree, Fiala is worth that contract

I will add that the 4th line should be a pretty good defensive line as well here. Won't see a ton of scoring but should be a decent checking line with Hartman and Sturm. And who knows, maybe Rask can find some semblance of his old game (which was actually decent).

While I always thought Parise was going to be the next captain, crying to the media about only having so many chances is generally a bad leader move.</div></div>
100% agree. Although I still think Parise would make a heck of a captain, his uncertain future after speaking to the media would make me question (from a players perspective) how much he really wants to be there? Or will he want to jump ship if we continue to lose? Definitely need a captain who's 100% committed and that seems to be Spurgeon. I like the pick.

I hope we can get consistency out of him. I don't mind the signing but without seeing him in action with our team in front of him, I'm not sure what to make of him. Season's just around the corner so I'll guess we'll see soon enough!

Minnesota Wild 2021 season preview
My goal for the year as this: Youth improvement and Reviving Veterans.
Greenway, Fiala, Kaprizov, Ek, Addison (maybe), Rossi (maybe), and Kakhonen (although in backup role) all will need to step up if we are to move forward as a franchise. I think Rossi will make the team, but they may want him to develop another year in Switzerland. Addison is unlikely to make the team but I would still love to see him fight for a spot.
As for the veterans, they know their roles. Bonino, Johansson, and Bjugstad were all brought in to shake things up while still providing players who, when healthy and at top form, can play really well. The key is "when healthy and at top form." What players are we getting? Only time will tell. All players know that, with one year left, this is their opportunity to showcase that they're worthy assets to a team.
If both those two things happen, we'll be fine. But here's where I see us:
Offense: Average. This can change quickly if Kaprizov clicks right away and Fiala picked up where he left off. But we'll have to wait and see on that. If they aren't able to carry the load offensively, we'll have a hard time competing.
Defense: Elite. I'm biased but we are elite defensively. Good in our own zone, good with puck movement, I could sing our praises all day...the only (and biggest) question is...
Goaltending: ? That's right. I have no clue. What Cam Talbot are we getting? I hope to God it's the pre-2018 Talbot. If it's post-2018 Talbot, may God have mercy on our souls...
Anyways, my prediction is that we finish 6th in the Division. I hope I'm wrong but that's how I feel.

They'll probably protect Kappo and expose Talbot/Stalock. Unless I'm wrong, the 8 Skater option is 8 + 1 for goalie. So no need to entice Seattle.

Love this deal. 2-Way for 1st year. 1-Way for 2nd. Avoids arbitration and assures Kakhonen we're moving in his direction. Assures Stalock that he's either going to get traded before contract's up in 2022 or he'll just become a free agent.

He's not Jack Johnson bad but he's still not great. I think people are looking at his +3 and thinking he had a good season last year. That's all Hellebuyck. The analytics prove otherwise.
