I don't think MIN moves Kap unless an NHL legit top six center is coming back.

They can find one in the top 5 of the 2022 draft with Ottawas pick

Where did Norris go?

I think you misunderstood. I mean one that can play NOW.

It sure is interesting. The problem is that
A) there is not a top center prospect coming back
B) Kaprizov is not for sale. We will sign him

I disagree. If we trade Kaprizov, we should be committing to a rebuild and target futures.

Seems like a step backwards.

Or just the pragmatic thing to do if you’re moving your best player and have 4 years of significant dead cap.

With Kaprizov, that 1st in 2022 doesn't look as high suddenly

Wild would probaly prefer the 2024 1st round pick being changed for a top prospect (Ridly Greig?)

Also, remove Logan Shaw and add the other Logan instead so the Wild gets 2 centers with upside

2022 1st round pick (OTT)
Greig, Ridly
Bernard-Docker, Jacob
Brown, Logan

But I'm sure they'd rather keep him so unless there's burned bridges, he's going to stay with them


Yeah kind of funny that Norris is among NON-ROSTER FORWARDS but it's probably not intentional

Admittedly that 1st line look terrifying

Tkachuk-Stutzle-Kaprizov
Formenton-Norris-Batherson
Brown-Pinto-Sokolov
Paul-White-Watson

What upside does Logan brown have? He is in his draft plus 6 season and has 1 goal.

Evaluating a hockey player by just opening a hockeydb page is misleading AT BEST.

Last time he played a significant amount of games he was 21 years old.

Since turning 22 y/o (same time as covid began), he has played 13 games in the AHL (in 3 separate stretches lol) and 1 NHL game. He could have played more NHL games last season but everytime he could have been called-up, he was injured.

Outside of him having been extremely injury-prone, there seems to be a major disagreement between his dad (ex NHLer Jeff Brown) and the organization so the bridges are possibly burned

He's an injury prone entitled prima donna I don't know, but he can certainly play hockey. It's time for a team to poach him for a very reasonnable cost but the Sens know it could easily blow up in their faces so they won't trade him just like that. They might want a similar reclamation project with upside. A 3rd round pick won't do it.
