Ok it’s bad but state why.
Our GM doesn’t want Giroux and Risto is a pretty weak argument, these players are both worth 1st rd pks as rentals.
I agree this trade won’t happen. I never really considered G to Minny bc I didn’t think they were legit contenders. But they have the Cap and they have the assets for the Flyers to retool.
3 1sts for the Wild is pretty steep, especially when there is a serious question if they can win w/ their goaltending situation. But this franchise is going to be in cap trouble for the next 2-3 years so going all in this year might be their best shot. But again for 3 firsts and Kulikov that is prob too much. Maybe 2 1sts and a 2nd though? The framework for a deal seems logical in Minnesota, but I doubt Giroux will waive his NMC for Minny, just not a strong enough contender.
Morin was just a contract for Minny to eat. Considering they’re getting two premium players, they can eat having Morins contract in their organization.
1) Giroux has already stated that he'd be open to being moved to Colorado, preferably, but otherwise either Minnesota or St. Louis.
2) The asking price for Giroux,
WHO IS A RENTAL. Is a 1st, a prospect, and a young NHL player.
Note that it doesn't stipulate that prospect needs to be a top prospect coming back. Just a prospect. Same for the young NHL player.
Here's my counter offer.
Connor Dewar (22 yo)... young NHL player.
Daemon Hunt (B+ Prospect), 2nd pairing potential... can play boths sides.
2022 1st
Drop everything else.
A rental, no matter how good, isn’t getting either Rossi or Lambos. Not going to happen.
