That mn deal is gross and hilarious in its grossness. Smith is a nothing burger and McDonough has been bad. No way the wild would give up 2 young highly productive players and a 2nd for them. Feels more like the picks would be going to Minnesota not the other way around. Most recent trade comparable for a young d like Addison was a 1st and 3rd, according to the athletic . So it would be a haul to get him from Minnesota.

I don’t understand the narrative that McDonagh has been bad. He’s +17 on a team that’s -2. I’ve been fairly happy with him, and I wasn’t happy with the trade when it took place.
