Sujet: Draft Day Blockbuster - original idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNCountryClub</b></div><div>I've wondered about him too - I tried to take a swing at it below and it was no good, but I'm not sure how to adjust.

What do you think would be a rough framework for that from MNs side?

Finding a trade with fans for a player like Zegras is probably a fruitless mission. For starters, they have no reason to want to trade him, even if his name is in rumors, so they're going to rightfully be standoffish about it. Second, they have every reason and every right to ask for a 1 for 1 swap for a position they do want, and a player with similar age/upside/control as Zegras. The Wild simply don't have any of those pieces. Closest they can probably get is Zegras for Faber, which is obviously a no go from the Wild standpoint, or Zegras for Yurov, but that's lateral at best for Anaheim, so why do the fans say yes?

From a Wild standpoint, assuming Yurov and Wallstedt are off the table completely, as are Faber, Boldy and Rossi, the best you could do is probably the 7th overall pick and Ohgren or Heidt, but again, given the context above, you're probably not going to find any fans who are willing to move Zegras for two lesser pieces.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNCountryClub</b></div><div>Yep, 100%. From the perspective of long-term franchise success, there's a very strong argument to made for moving him before the NMC kicks in. But we know Leipold wants playoffs ever year and Kaprizov brings in a lot of $$ to the business.

I just can't see it happening (as I'm sure you'd agree), but I do think it has merit to seriously consider it.</div></div>

Leipold is such a frustrating owner. On the one hand, he is willing to spend to the cap every year and the team seems to have great facilities and such so he definitely cares. The problem is he probably cares too much and it would be nice if he'd be willing to let Guerin tear it down and accept they'll be bad for a few years before making a push once all the dead cap and bad contracts are gone.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNCountryClub</b></div><div>Nice job with the Kaprizov deal.

Guerin/Leipold won't ever move him, but it's a very strong offer and hits on MNs needs. Faber and Reinbacher would be a sweet duo on the right side.</div></div>

I'd probably think long and hard if that offer was pitched before Kaprizov's NMC kicks in July 1st. His contract structure makes me incredibly nervous, especially with the team not really in a position to compete unless some prospects take massive leaps forward next year (Rossi, Faber, Wallstedt, at least 1 left D and a winger) which is too many things that need to go right. If Kaprizov doesn't want to resign, he walks for nothing and with him having a NMC, there's no reason that can't happen if he wants it to. It's certainly going to limit the return if he is willing to waive for select locations, so the above may just be the best offer you get and it would definitely help the team in the long run. Tough choice.
