<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tbrew</b></div><div>These are solid. Zuccarello is an upgrade the rangers need at forward and the value is maybe slightly skewed to Minny there.

Spurgeon is the guy the leafs keep thinking they’re trading for when they’re sending mid rounders for Lynushkin types. No way they do something that smart

The sharks move is probably the only one that’s off, and that’s only because no one really knows what the value of 1OA is in a trade anymore. That said, it’s closer than Josh Anderson for 1OA that we’re seeing here lmao</div></div>

I've been taking a lot of heat for the trades I've put out. I try to keep both teams in mind when making a trade. I don't think Knies ceiling is as high as I want. He was a gopher and I'm a big fan. But he hardly produces on a line with Matthews, you basically walk into points on his line. I think he could be an effective 2nd line producer and have a very successful career. My thought was to get Spurgeon on a contender and still have 3-4 good years left. Retain salary so they can make other moves to round out their roster. With this direction the Wild could afford it and get a guy I think would fit in well on a line with Ek.

I'm not as high on Schneider as the Ranger fans are. I get the not wanting to take Zucc but he solves their problems for the next 2 years and have other assets to trade to round out that team. Kappo could be a valuable piece to move to potentially get a decent return. It's less than Ranger fans think. But with their current d-core, I see Schneider being expendable. With the current roster they could be contenders with someone like Zucc on that 2nd line drivng plays. He just doesn't fit our window.

I get the 1st overall hate. No one trades that pick. I'll take the heat but BG needs to get aggressive. Rossi is having a huge year and one we all wish came sooner. The only reason I want to take a swing is for a player that could be a Top 5 center in the league instead of Top 15 potentially. The odds are Minnesota sucks the rest of the season as we just got blown out, we pick 10th and get lucky to get Buium to go next to Faber. And the years just keep going by. If I was GM I would take a massive swing.

Thanks for the post and having a convo around some trades. I always enjoy hearing different perspectives!

I love these posts! Teams trying to get creative and we get to have a conversation about it. Realistically Wallstedt doesn't move without a pretty big overpayment. A few things come into play here. First, Minnesota has beyond zero cap space. Dumb but the reality. This means Wallstedt is pretty important moving forward for us because we got this year plus 2 more years of this cap hell. Lastly, what do we need? Center has been our weak point, but Rossi looks to be a player which changes things a bit. Sorry for the rant but this trade gets tricky.

I think the Wild want top end talent. So quality over quantity. Both Hughes are off limits. Hischier is probably close to that. My thoughts are Holtz, Mercer, Nemec and first rounders are the pool to pick from.

Holtz - Can he be a consistent player and can he reach 90% of what people think he can be? I don't know much about this player but I know he was untouchable for Fiala a year and a half ago. Now it feels like he lost some luster. Looking at future lines for the Wild, I see Kaprizov and Boldy on that top line. So could Holtz be the driver on a second line with Ek or Rossi?

Mercer - Not sure where he fits in with the current lineup. Not saying he wouldn't get the respect to make room. But Hartman and Ek seem to be locked in at the 1/2c. Rossi has been locked in at 3c and looks great so far this year. So maybe Mercer slides to the wing. I could see him taking JoJo's spot with Boldy and Ek. Not sure if I love this move on its own. But could be a start of a trade.

Nemec - I think the fit ans timing isn't there for the Wild without a Spurgeon trade. Spurgeon is locked up for 3 more years after this one. And Faber is looking like a beast.

So back to what does a trade look like. I think Holtz and a First maybe a bit more. Holtz have some question marks currently but out of the 3 options he would have to be the one unless the Wild can swing a Spurgeon trade that benefits us. Ultimately no trade happens with Wallstedt and we see if he will be as good as advertised. Great post
