Getting Minny a 1C

Minnesota shouldn’t make that deal for Scheifele

Personally I'd accept that for Scheifele, but since half our fanbase is infatuated with size, there is no way Chevy does that without getting run out of winnipeg

Kulikov has a M-NTC, who would want to go to Chicago right now.

Beaudin was a former 1st round pick, he has probably been passed in the depth charts the last few seasons. But... the 3rd round pick isn't much of an incentive to take Kulikov and move on from the younger body. Especially when it helps out a division rival in cap trouble.

I could see Chicago giving Beaudin a different opportunity somewhere, but not for this.

Youth for Youth

An unneeded LW looking for a large raise after a career year and a small offense only RD that doesn't fill a need won't tempt Winnipeg to trade Scheifele in division.

A high scoring winger coming off of 2 excellent seasons and only 26 (turns in July), a very promising young offensive dman who is primed for a breakout in the near future...pretty good return I'd say.
