<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>iAce</b></div><div>I can agree with Byram's value dropping. I don't think it should, but health is a big part of making a trade. He's a hell of a player and talent. I don't think the fit is right and really the Wild wouldn't want to move on from Ekkers. Hes been big for us and is playing well with Kap and Boldy. For any team to get Ek, it would take a monumental over pay and for a division rival, even more.</div></div>

I agree that Minnesota wouldn't move Ek and also agree that the fit isn't there. My main point is that Colorado won't be moving that type of package.

I guess my frustration came through with the Eichel comment. That was kinda dumb in retrospect. But like I said, seeing Avs fans trade Byram, a first, etc has struck a nerve. The team isn't paying that kind of price.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeneralLandro</b></div><div>I laughed just as much seeing that😂

The Liljegren overvalue got me more than the Willy one did honestly</div></div>

Hey, I'll grant and give Leafs fans Lily is a 2nd pairing caliber defenseman all day long. There IS value there.

The problem is that Faber is literally a 1st pairing caliber defenseman as a rookie at 22 already and only going to get better. There's a reason that even Devil's fans can agree his value is on par with Hughes right now.

And we already know that NJ doesn't trade Luke Hughes straight up for Nylander either. The same literally applies to Minnesota with Faber. And that's literally the reason why it's such an overpay. That's two players in this trade that Minnesota wouldn't trade for Nylander in an even 1v1 swap. Let alone both.

They want to trade us Nylander? Cool, he's a guy we can't afford to resign, so he's strictly a rental. Therefore he gets rental prices. I'll give them Yurov, Kumpulainen, and a 2025 1st (top ten protected).

And NO I'm NOT giving Toronto a current top 5 pick/potential top ten pick for a rental Nylander. The 2024 1st isn't available. Just like Boldy. Just like Faber.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rajvinder</b></div><div>How is it so much more value?

Nylander &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Body
Robertson&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Dewar
Holmberg&gt;&gt;Maroon

Yurov and the difference between Faber and Lili makeup all the value going to Minnesota</div></div>

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nylander ain't that much better than Boldy. Christ, the massive overrating of Nylander by Leafs fans is getting old.

I guarantee you Minnesota doesn’t trade Boldy for Nylander straight up. Cry all you want, Boldy has the edge in both age, term and control. Not too mention full potential.

Dewar is a speedy bottom six defensive minded PK wizard who was top 3 in SHG across the league last year, and oh yeah, just scored a hat trick Friday night. I assure you Robertson doesn’t carry that much more value than him. If any at all.

Holmberg is an Ahl'er at age 24, had 13 points in 37 games last year. But went scoreless in 7 games this year. But somehow carries better value than a 3-time Stanley Cup champion who currently has 11 points in SIXTEEN less games than it took Holmberg at age 35?

Mmmmmm'kay... whatever you say, you're wrong, but okay.

Yurov is a top A-level prospect who's worth at minimum of a 1st. While Faber currently carries around the same value as Luke Hughes.

The value here isn't close, and HEAVILY favors Toronto. Don't be a 🤡.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>iAce</b></div><div>What would a trade for Turcotte look like to you? I'm intrigued to get a guy who might be able to help us up the middle.</div></div>

Frankly, I don't think there's a world where Minnesota and the Kings are trade partners including Turcotte. His health is too variable, and I think the only way the Kings would part with him were if they were using him as the finishing piece to a much larger package. Something like what it would have taken for Chychrun.

Turcotte's value is just so hard to gauge right now, because every other team trying to acquire him will low-ball LA and and poitn to his health. But the Kings won't want to sell low on a previous #5 pick when it hasn't been a skill development problem. The kid can play. I'd argue his value is probably mid-round first (13-18OA) pick if I had to guess. But no team is going to be willing to take that chance on a kid who hasn't stayed healthy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mjoyce001</b></div><div>It's a coaching and don't piss off Bill Guerin or Dean Evason issues. As much I love and adore Matt dumba, as soon he pissed off Dean Evason, he was benched. Calen Addison: pissed off Dean Evason and Bill Guerin and didn't play most if not all of 2nd half of season. Boldy: criticized in media by Guerin at the end of thus season.

Fiala: traded because he clashed with Dean Evason. How often does a gm choose a coach over player? I know money played big role also, but relationships was fractured

Zuccarello &amp; foligno: Zip! No criticism..Spurgeon: no criticism.

It's kind of sad that when you critique the coaching staff as a player on the Minnesota Twins, and now the MIN Wild, they talk about family culture and openness, but it doesn't exist</div></div>

I don’t necessarily disagree with your dislike of Dean, but I think it’s more of a system thing. I also don’t think BG has unconditional love for DE…BG didn’t hire DE, he inherited him.

I certainly agree that I hate BG’s philosophy on young players, and his unwillingness to let them learn in the NHL.

I have a strong dislike for Leipold…from how he got the team, to how he dealt with Suter, and now his unwillingness to think long term!! I mean they are in cap hell (because of him) and then not allow the team to tank for top 5 picks!! WTF!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>iAce</b></div><div>I agree, I highly question his ability to help develop the young guys and bring them up correctly. In my opinion, Kaprizov and Zucc should be able to carry a line and allow Rossi to play freely. I look at the Stars who have Johnston playing so well. Our vets don't enable the young guys and cover up for any of their mistakes. It either a player issue or coaching issue. And I lean towards coaching.</div></div>

Sujet: The most realistic offseason I can think will happen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy_Guerins_Burner</b></div><div>Fleury will stay, he will end out this season with us and i wont be surprised that if in next summers free agency he will sign a contract with Pittsburgh just to retire, guys like Goligoski and Fleury I dont think will move because they aren’t waiving their NMC, and they won’t waive because they dont want to uproot their families, thats mostly the reason they have those NMCs anyways, and i dont see them moving Gus, maybe Addison but thats it tbh</div></div>

Basically, though I do think they'll move Addison and replace him with a cheaper veteran that could be sent to Iowa in the unlikely scenario a guy like O'rourke or Hunt has a good enough camp to make the team. That will shave off enough money to sign Ryan Reaves since Guerin seems to like what he brings. Pretty good chance they run a 22 man roster until the deadline, where they once again tinker around the edges without making any major trades.

Things will get a little more interesting in 2024 when Hartman, Fleury, Zuccarello, and Foligno are all UFAs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>iAce</b></div><div>I think somewhere like a 2nd and 5th. Doesn't have to be same year but I see his value as higher than Greenway's. This is the same value Greenway got. We don't need to trade Foligno and he's coming off his worst year in 3 years so the value is poor if you only look at this year. I think he could get a 2nd and 3rd maybe 2x2nd's if the team loves him and could extend him. Looking at a 3 year average. He will get 41 points, 119 PIM, 18% shooting %, 269 hits and 46 blocks. Brings leadership and has worn the A for 2 years now. He is a perfect playoff type player on the 3rd line</div></div>

The 3rd is honestly just what I’ve seen others trade for him. I thought it was a bit low having watched him play a bit and is why I added that maybe a bit more would be needed. But I can’t disagree with your assessment, it seems that Foligno should be in high demand and so a 3rd would be too low for a guy Minny doesn’t need to trade but can if they just want to shed a bit of cap. And tbf I haven’t looked at his stats or anything, just noted the toughness and leadership and figured he would be a good add. With those stats he’s definitely worth more
