Edmonton Says Yes
Florida Says Add maybe a little more
Winnipeg Says Yes
New Jersey Says Yes

No chance Panthers give Dadnov.

If Trouba is interested In staying Jets, no way he goes but he will get them a better haul than that for sure.


I doubt Oilers give 2 younger players for older player.

EDM says "add a lot more!"

This guy knows it. There's no way you get Nurse and Puljujavri for that. Very likely with how Nurse is developing, He will be EDM top LHD at seasons end. Puljujarvi hasn't developed as quickly as EDM would have hoped but that's for a lot of reasons, mismanagement by throwing him into the NHL as an 18 year old who spoke no English was moving from small town in Finland to NA city with ~1M population. Culture shock alone would be enough to stunt his growth. Easily a player that should have max 18 games of NHL experience so far yet he has 93, he needed top 6 AHL minute for last 2 years then give him chance this year after learning the NA game

I love the Winnipeg trade! I think the "rule" that you can't make trades within your division is ludicrous. IF you are a competent GM, you should have no fear of making a trade with anyone, period! As an added bonus, an inter-divisional trade might help boost a rivalry. I do think Trouba will command more money than that...even if I do agree with your contract here. He plays about 65 games a season and, IMO, should be compensated accordingly. If he was an 80 game/season player, he would be in the market for $7million per. Brodin makes a lot of sense for the Jets too. After Morrissey, the left side of their blue line is pedestrian, at best.

No thanks on the Dadanov trade, at least for the reasons you stated. Panarin coming to Minnesota is unrealistic. He wants bright lights and a big city.

I wouldn't do your Foligno trade. I am one of the few that think he actually has some value. I thought he was one of the Wild's only effective players in the playoffs. His play down the stretch of the regular season was good too. Once he figured out/accepted his role with the Wild, he was a solid player...still probably overpaid by a million per season (thanks Fletcher!), but a needed piece on an otherwise soft team.

I absolutely love your Edmonton trade, but do agree with the others here that you would need to send more the Oilers' way. If the FLA trade was removed, maybe the Wild could add Nino or Zucker (I prefer trading Zucker) to the Oilers trade and then the Oilers might have to add a 2nd

The only Trouba trade I could see would be for Dumba as a 1 for 1 deal.

I agree with you on Foligno. I do think it took about half the season to wash the Buffalo stink of Cheerios off of him. New team, new system, no consistency of linemates due to all the injuries; it took him awhile to find his place on the team. And really he's a superstar on the 4th line compared to Fehr, Brown and Hendricks.

I think getting Nurse from EDM is a pipedream, but catch Chairelli on the right day and we might get Nurse for for a bag of doughnuts.

No interest in getting Dadonov. A healthy Nino should put up a similar goal total, just not as many assists, is younger, and under contract for longer. Panarin has about as much of a chance of coming to MN as Tavares did before he signed with Tor imo.

Getting Nurse is a pipe dream...but one I'm not willing to give up on yet. I think Nurse and Dumba would grow into one of the most entertaining, dynamic, and intense D pairings in hockey!
