Our 3rd is in Washington with the Johansson trade. While this is enticing to me, I think it is a draft day deal where we see how the top 5 picks go. If our guy(s) is there at 6, we pounce.

mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 23 hours ago, Tony Abbott said: Trading Marco Rossi as a sweetener to move up from, like 13 to 6 is so laughable to me. NHL scouts think the top half of the draft is more-or-less interchangable in talent after Picks 2-3. You'd end up trading Rossi in exchange for a lateral move, talent-wise. Can't imagine worse asset management. I believe the suggestion from Dango was to keep 13 and trade Rossi outright for 6. He suggested maybe giving 2nd and 3rd, but we don't have the 3rd. I could see using some 2025 selections. 2 selections in the top 15 of this draft would certainly change the trajectory of the team. If we came away with Lindstrom and Yakemchuk in this draft, that could be pretty big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 FWIW, I do not see Rossi rumors continuing on national sites. It could be they just ignore the Wild, or it could be that he's not attached to any team wanting him. For instance, Markstrom and NJ were rumored since the trade deadline, and it continued past. Same with PLD, he was rumored to be exiting the Kings, although, it was more of a buyout candidate. So, it's just an opinion, but this rumor seems to merely be smoldering at this point with no real flames. This could be due to the cone of silence on Shooter's part.

Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) Heck, don't even take Lindstrom. Just go 2 of Buium/Yakemchuk/Dickinson/Parekh, and you pretty much transform the defensive depth overnight. Then again, you take Rossi away, you're possibly hoping to poach Catton, Iginla, or Eiserman along with a with that kind of move. *Not sure how serious Lindstrom's back injury is* Edited June 20 by Citizen Strife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Note: Rossi going to Utah still wins out in the end, but dipping into the defensive pool is an interesting proposition. I'd personally take Buium or Dickinson, to shore up that left side first. You'd eliminate the "desperation" move of keeping Middleton (saving money). Maybe Yakemchuk falls, or you just take BPA forward and win out on both sides of the game. I just get giddy thinking Faber, Buium, Yakemchuk all as a top 3, different styles for different situations. You could even reach on Solberg or Jiricek if you know you have one of the bigger names on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protec Verified Member Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Darby hired as Nashville assistant. Interesting MN will face Brunette and Hendrickson behind the bench. Coaching musical chairs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacGyver Verified Member Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 So Ullmark to the Senators. Hopefully this ends the Brady Tkachuk fantasies of coming to the Wild. The Sens didn't go out and get Ullmark to move Tkachuk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After researching the issue, looks like this was a late bombshell dropped on the teams...or was it. It was likely discussed at the combine. So, perhaps this injury (not injure) will have him drop down the board? One can only hope. I'd take him and trade up for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
