Also needs to be hounding Buffalo for Tuch, Thompson, Jokiharju for Rossi, Boldy, Faber. This team is going nowhere with those guys and we need some changes. B Nelson for a 4th is ok if he will resign for under 4mm for 3yrs with no trade protection. Get rid of Spurgeon and also trenin for pucks or picks if you have to throw them in. Also Hartman July 1 gone You simply can’t get that dumb idea out of your head. They aren’t trading Thompson. It hasn’t even been speculation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s important for the Wild to make the playoffs this year. They are NOT a lock, especially with injuries to top players. I see this as a smart, measured move. If you want high risk, all in, 2027 might be a better year to do so. Why is making the playoffs important? There’s no better teacher for our players than experience. I think it is important for KK as well. I think a 2nd was way too much for a 35 yr old 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Brotherbill Verified Member Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago It is doubtful that the Wild will trade for anyone. Unless they trade a bunch of prospects and I doubt that is what they want to do. The money just isn't there. Unless salary is retained this is probably the only deal the Wild make. First month under 500 all season was February. They have a 9 point lead over last out of playoffs. 21 games left to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imyourhuckleberry Verified Member Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago I kind of love that they put Nyquist right up on line 1. That move to draw the penalty nearly was a Nyquist goal and Boldy finished the game with 8 shots on goal. The line didn't score, but he gives Boldy some juice on the other side that many of their other wings don't bring to the ice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah Boldy probably the biggest beneficiary of G Nyq on the team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team needs a big shakup with another 4-6 new players. To much of the same for years not getting it done. And until they stop making the same, damn moves, nothing will change. At this point, any "rental" will be just that. Bad goaltending, an abhorrent pp kill isn't going to get you far in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Ogy was a guerin pick... and yes, it seems they play him and others on the 4th lines to try and hope they break through to just trade.

Guerin didn't want to pay whatever price it would take for vaunted "needle movers" if they were even offered. Playing to lose games would just help Columbus. Guerin is doing the tightrope walk he's been doing for years. I've already accepted the team doesn't really have a chance. I'm willing to ride things out though, because getting to the playoffs and winning games is what a team is supposed to do.
