I would do that trade for Eric Staal all day long in hopes he can keep up his offensive production.

As a Flyers fan i think we could offer more than just a 5th round pick

Id love it if this happened, bring back a forward staal

Especially with the year he had last season

Not a fan of the Flyers deal from our perspective. Have plenty of those types on the roster. Need a Nino or Spurgoen type player.

I could get down with something in that range for Spurgeon.

Flyers have zero need for Foligno.

Why would we even want him?

I’d hate to give up Bellerive and Sprong for 1 year of Staal. Even with the kind of production he had last year. But I’d love for Eric Staal to become a penguin.

I was wondering why only a 5th? Does any one know.

You're fired!

Because Wild fans (in general) think NHL hockey should be played with women's hockey rules: all skill and speed, no contact. A full team of Spurgeon and Gaudreau clones is their ideal lineup.

Foligno is the result of a (lost) trade for a well liked player (Scandella), and is ~$500k overpaid. He could have a 20g/20a season next year and we'll want to be ship him off for a sack of moldy potatoes. You could probably even talk us down to either the sack or the moldy potatoes.

Well i mean fifth round picks aren't as useful as people think, i'm not sure what the salary cap is for Folingo, but it couldn't hurt getting a bottom six forward for only a 5th round pick (Unless his cap is higher than i expected) Also i can see someone such as Weal, Raffl, Weise getting traded away for a draft pick. (Not a high one obviously)

We already have too many bottom 6Fs adding another isn't going to help.
