I'd take that Habs trade. I wanted Bonino for 3C in UFA, way before the mess. Good bottom 6 insurance.
Still applies, but it might not be our most pressing need atm obviously.

If the Kotkaniemi falls through, what would it cost to get Hertl without retaining and Gardiner included?

assuming u guys dont match then i think they will look for a better C like dvorak, strome or maybe hertl and then u could still use another C for added insurance and depth

u would probably have to include ryan suzuki or a first to start

I just don’t see the wild doing that

No.

Hertl isn't worth a Top 50 prospect of Boldy's caliber. Not unless he comes with an extension already in place. If he does, then it's a different story and Boldy possibly is available depending on what the rest of the package looks like.

But people really need to start realizing that top 50 prospects aren't getting dealt, unless they're going for top six centers with term. Even then they've been somewhat untouchable of late. The ask for Eichel has been two blue-chip prospects and a couple of 1sts, which is a ridiculous price point to begin with, and so far GM's have steadfastly refused. Granted the situation with his neck makes that understandable, but still. Most seem willing to move one blue-chipper for Eichel, but nothing beyond that. I mean, I love Hertl, but he isn't better than Eichel and is distinctly a tier below him.

So, can we please stop overvaluing centers now?

IF... Hertl comes with an extension.

i dont either but whatever

Minnesota isn't trading Matt boldy for Tomas H. Just not happening. He's also a rental and wild aren't definitely trading a potential lottery pick for him considering a return to their hard division

Not even sure Minnesota will trade Marat Khusnutdinov. He's become amazing
