<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>I kind of like it. I don't want to give up that pick because I really like the guys projected to go around 15 and I think Pittsburgh is trending downards so if they defer the pick it could be a high one. But... to get a young top 6 skilled center without trading Brodin or Dumba is tough to pass up.

Call me crazy but I'd almost be tempted to move 1OA to LA or Ottawa to select Byfield or Stutzle. I still think this team needs another center and having one of those two on your top line with Strome behind them is just what the doctor ordered.</div></div>

The thing is that Brodin or Dumba have to move after this upcoming season I’d think (unless a stupid protection trade is made with Seattle). I think if the Wild can get Strome without giving them up then you gotta use one to try and get a right handed winger, maybe Kapanen or Boeser?

I don’t think Ottawa or LA does it, but another interesting idea would be to offer Florida 1st and Donato for Barkov. You just know he’s leaving there the second his contract is up.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>Why do the Wild want another wing in Grigorenko? Especially one that won't fit anywhere in the lineup. Kaprizov can make new friends, or at least prove he's the 2nd coming of Gretzky before his friends get to be on the team.

Trade for a top-6 center, right, MN has been trying to do that for their entire existence. Dumba value is trash right now, and Brodin is a rental for next season. They aren't going to get a top-6 center that's worth much. Anything else worth anything: Fiala, JEE, and Kunin shouldn't be moved.

The GM's thumbprint on the team with be in the coach he hires. Re-signing Chucky, signing Kaprizov, and/or moving on from Koivu could be the biggest move the Wild make this offseason. That would be more than Fenton did in his 2 off-seasons. Remember Fenton's "big" move his first year was signing Pateryn.</div></div>

Grigorenko is actually a center. Fenton made 5 trades, a waiver claim and signed 3 guys in his time in Minnesota. Guerin has made 1 trade. Whether you like it or not he’s gonna make more moves.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>Why not? This really isn't an impressive FA class for MNs needs (center). JEE, Kunin, and Fiala have made good steps this year. I think a Parise trade is a pipedream and they still have Zucc to try and fit in somewhere.

Edit. And adding another FWD just means another player that will need protection in the Seattle expansion draft.</div></div>

I'd be shocked if they don't trade for a top 2 center, to the point I'd be completely baffled.

A likely top 6 is Kaprizov/New Center/Fiala, Parise/Staal/Kunin. But there are tons of variables even with those guys. Guerin is not going to walk into a second season and not put his fingerprints on the team, that's not how GMs work. And no need to worry about forward protection with the Wild. Also saying Grigorenko isn't an NHL player is jumping the gun and completely based on his past performance, he's matured and plays a different game and his return is looking like a Dadonov situation, I think the Wild have to look hard into him because of his friendship with Kaprizov alone.
