All I needed was the first part of the conversation…So…..YEAH!!!
A first round pick for what…A 3rd pair D…
CBJ got Daemon Hunt, 2025 first-round pick (top-five protected), 2026 third-round pick, 2026 fourth-round pick, and 2027 second-round pick for a #5 bottom pair defenseman……Either the guy in the pink shirt is on crack or Billy is on crack.
Time will tell…………
Yikes!! Not what I was expecting to hear. Will Jiri accept the role Mr. Buttons presented? I hope that the Wild can unlock more.
Yeah, wild fans are hoping Benjamin buttons is dead wrong on that one. Otherwise guerin fucked up again.
He will start out bottom pair and learn defense in the NHL. Where he goes from there depends on how he develops himself … he is young. Brodin, Middleton and Sprurgeon are on a clock and will exit at some point.
