Phil goes home?

If duchene and barassard require a 3 way trade Kessel is untradable. The value needs to better from Minnesota

How is Duchene related to this? And Brassard had to be a 3 way due to in season cap implications. Neither of those are comparable trades.

Brodin is a solid top 4 on a great contract, they take Hunwicks contract, and Coyle is a solid player. How is that not sufficient value? You wont get full value for Phil in any trade.

And thats why theyll never trade him. Hopefully GMJR can put it together like you and me have that his full value is not just going to come along(....unless someone's really desperate).

Minnesota is no longer a retirement home for aging vets. Remember when we had Vanek? Kessel experiment would end in a similar result. The Wild are looking to get younger and faster, not grab someone who fits exceptionally well on the Pens but is questionable with unknowns like not having 2 of the best centers in the world to play with. Bad trade from the Minnesota side 100%, more value my ass.

This is all speculative. He may not get traded at all.

However if he does, youd be clearing space for Guentzel's 6 million or so coming up next year. So its not completely out of the question. A two for one for Phil would be a fantastic return in my opinion IF Phil were to ever get traded. And Minni is the only team I could ever see wanting him. They lack superstars, and their new GM surely wants to make his mark on the team.
