RedLake Verified Member Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I'm a big fan of this kid. What a steal from the Jets. I'm looking for him to have his top 4 breakout season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year is his opportunity he was never given by the Jets... He has a way higher ceiling than Stanley IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protec Verified Member Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 His becoming available and MN getting him was very fortunate. He's got a great start for his age. Similar to Soucy with his ability to chip in offensively. For Chisholm, confidence and experience should help make him a better player. I agree his cost is good now, but could soon require a bigger bump. His and Buium's season this year will be interesting to watch. Who becomes the long-term group? Faber is obviously the new #1. Brodin is under contract with Middleton but what's the Spurgeon situation? We presume Bogo and Merrill are placeholders. I say this because, MN might need to make a trade next Summer to transform current assets they can't keep into current or future value. I.e. if Buium looked poised for the NHL, or Heidt for that matter would the Wild have to decide who they're gonna sign next leaving good players outside the bubble? Might Spurgeon, Brodin, or Chisholm be traded for cap or scoring if MN has plans to use young defenders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
