Sujet: we should be all over Lindholm situation
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>I generally agree, if he were 26 it would be a different story. My concern is that Kaprizov won't want to stick around once his contract is up if we don't have a legitimate 1C centering him and we'll be where we were 3 years ago.

I guess at this point I'm so sick of waiting for one of our prospects to finally turn into a 1C that I wouldn't hate something like this and I'm not as convinced as I was that Rossi will stick at center in the NHL. What I'd really like Guerin to do is trade up into the top 10 at the draft and take a center, but I'd be surprised if we did something like that.</div></div>

My concern is that the Wild will continue to not learn the lesson Vegas just showed the entire league: you can't be afraid to make a move, because if the move didn't work, you can just move on from it and try something else. Every time the league has a player who either is or could be a #1 center available, the Wild are always too gunshy to pull the trigger and I wish just once they would.

Sujet: Nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SNipeSHowInc</b></div><div>Leafs decline, Rossi doesn’t look to be the most promising anymore, I don’t think he adds a ton of value to this package (similar to how Robertson wouldn’t for the Leafs.). No need for Fleury, Foligno as a 3rd line winger brings physicality, but that’s available on the open market. Basically comes down to a First and second for a retained Nylander. Rather have Nylander</div></div>

I think people judge Rossi too much based on the 21 games he has played in the NHL, in a bottom-six role. He has produced at every level, from the juniors (over 2 PPG) to the AHL (a point-per-game) to the international stage (point-per-game in this year's WC, carrying a weak Austrian squad). And he has been sound defensively in the NHL, as well.

All he needs, in my opinion, is a strong summer and an opportunity to prove himself. The guy is just 21, he oozes skill and is determined. The offensive breakthrough will come. That's why I wouldn't trade him, especially when his stock has taken a hit.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>I was super high on Rossi during his during his draft year, but the past year or so I've changed my mind: I don't think a player his size can succeed as an NHL center unless they're incredibly talented. Every excellent forward 5'9" or shorter is a winger. I'd hope with this type of package we could move up further, but I don't hate using Rossi as a trade chip</div></div>

Yep, that’s the same as me. I still think he’s got a good likelihood to be a regular NHLer, but it’ll need to be at wing. And if that’s the case, then I’d rather parlay his value into a trade.

I’m high on Dvorsky myself, but I’m no expert and would be open to exploring other options. If we can do better than this trade, I’m game. Not married to this particular idea, but I do think we should be testing the waters.
