Thread: Lines I want to see next game

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CowSaysMoo</b></div><div>He is not a top-six forward on a contending team, but I would like to see what Nico Sturm could do in an elevated role. He has looked fast out there so far this year.</div></div>

I'd like to see MN try Strum like they used Haula on the Nino/Haula/Pommer line. Get him comfortable as the 3C and stick Boldy on his wing after the college hockey season ends.

Thread: Lines I want to see next game

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lightman13</b></div><div>No reason not to. As much as I’m meh on rask, as I should be, I do like that he came far more prepared for the season and does seem to have reasonable chemistry with KK.

Personally I would like to see rask stay up with kk and rack up some points, not because ek should stay down, but so rask can build some value and get traded.</div></div>

Rask isn't getting traded. If he's bad nobody will want him, and if he's good MN will keep him because their center depth is awful. I do think he's played his way out of the pressbox when Zucc gets back.

Bjugstad has been as advertised, and will end up in the pressbox. Not just to save the 7th rounder, but because he's being outplayed by everyone else.

As a side note on Bjugstad and the conditional 7th. Did the 70 games played and 35 points get prorated to the 56 game season?

Thread: (COL/MIN) - Cole for Pateryn

Adding over $1m in cap for a 3rd pair d-man, another LHD to boot. Unless Cole hits waivers tomorrow it's a dumb move my Guerin, who doesn't seem to understand how the salary cap works at all.

The team's problems are at center, not the d-corps.

Guerin getting another former PIT player.

There better be quite a bit of retention otherwise it makes no sense for MN to add another LHS d-man.

Thread: Trying things

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>I've been toying with a way to get White without Ek or Greenway. I think he'd be a decent fit here. Problem I keep coming to is that I'm not sure he's a center and if we want to finally fix our 1C problem and make a legitimate offer for PLD, Barkov or even Eichel if things go sour in Buffalo then we can't afford another $4-5M player.</div></div>

I don't like the "what if" game. PLD, Barkov, Eichel would all be great to have, but I don't see MN having a shot at any of them if they did become available without gutting the team.

Betting the future on Rossi and having nothing else as a backup plan just seems like an awful idea to me.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>Not likely. Just saying what I'd be asking for if I'm Jarmo, not that they'd get it.</div></div>

MN has been asking for a top-6 center for Dumba and haven't gotten it, but MN doesn't need to move Dumba. CBJ might need to move PLD so that changes what will be taken in trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JayTea</b></div><div>He hasn't had even remotely the same scoring touch in the AHL that he did in the CHL, he's such a longshot to even see the 1 NHL game at this point let alone being a NHL regular.</div></div>

He still has a NHL shot, just nothing else to go with it. He gets mostly pressbox/bottom-6 time because of his lack of work effort. He'll be waiver fodder after this season. MN probably won't even QO him unless he had a major attitude adjustment this offseason.

He might want that, but what's the likelihood of the other team giving up a Suzuki as part of the return?

PDL will either be a 1-for-1 with someone or a package of stuff for PDL.

I think it would be Rossi +1st (top-3 protected) as the base deal.

As long as MN can talk to PLD before the trade happens so they know if he'll want to stay in MN or flee to the brighter lights so they know what they are getting.

Thread: Phi trade your thoughts

Zucc has a full NMC. So he's not going anywhere. Even if he was to waive it, to be a team guy or whatever, it would a handshake deal that MN doesn't bribe SEA to take him. Even if MN was to bribe SEA that package wouldn't be enough to dump Zucc's contract, the 3rd is the most valuable thing in the deal.

Thread: Playoff Contender Next Year

I have Danualt going for around the same contract ($5.8 x 5) as Henrique. Even with the flat cap I can't seem him less than $5m/yr. $6.5m is the highest I see him getting, but with the way Guerin overpays players $7m x 7 with a full NMC might happen.

Bjugstad's value could be high or it could be nothing as a rental. So many questions about his health and if he can rebound into a useful player.

Being the Wild's 1C doesn't hold much meaning, their center depth is pretty putrid.

I'm starting to think Brodin has changed up his game some and now has more offense to it, probably not but worth watching.
Wild have never needed a center more. Rask looked good relatively speaking.</div></div>

Brodin has offense to his game, he's shown it in the past when he wasn't on babysitting duty. He's just been on babysitting duty for most of his career now.

I'm guessing it's a bunch of little things that just added up and then him not getting a big contract was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Thread: last attempt

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wildfan24</b></div><div>are we saying rossi because cbj would want him over boldy?? or you vue boldy higher the rossi??</div></div>

Rossi is a natural center and Boldy isn't is more what I look at for this trade. MN is getting a center so CBJ will be needing a center or high center prospect back. Rossi has the higher ceiling but Boldy has the higher floor.

The risk is all on CBJ for that trade. Unless MN offers up Fiala or Kaprizov they don't have anything else that really moves the needle for CBJ. Add in Bonino to give CBJ a center for this year to cover some of the loss of PLD.

I think CBJ would get Danualt as a UFA in the offseason if they trade PLD.

KK looked really good, for sure, but I'm not sure how to judge him after one game where everyone else (except Quick) looked bad. It was a painful game to watch.

Yeo trap teams vs NJD trap teams were more entertaining than whatever garbage the first 2 periods of the MN/LA game was last night.

Too much for PLD. Rossi + 1st + whatever rental CBJ wants (cap offset mostly) is the max I'd go.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OutCold13</b></div><div>I've heard about the VPN/NHL.tv route but not sure how the VPN works.
Thanks for the heads up I'll check comcast and see if I can get that where I live.</div></div>

A VPN (virtual private network) changes your IP to say you are in a different region.
To pair it with NHL.tv you'd need to use the VPN to swap to an out of FSN market/blackout area (FLA for an example).
If you don't want to pay for the NHL.tv just start swapping areas and you might find one where the Wild are the NHL.com free game.
You can also try and find an away feed from their local area.
