Just curious If there is an offer sheet on Peterka (by Rangers) can other teams still bypass it for a trade proposal
EP40 had 45 points last season, really could see a EP40 for Rossi plus something trade
Rossi and Peterka are almost with the same weight but Paterka is a winger
Alex Laferriere of the Kings is a RFA. 19 G, 23 assists last season. He's 23 years old.
just a waste of time trying to figure out billy g..he will screw it up..save your energy
Vancouver can't do an offer sheet because they don't own their 2026 3rd round pick, if they offered Lekkerimaki and the #15 pick you take it…Wild could sweeten the deal by offering Lambos or Spacek as either has no place in the Wild's future D corp…
What if we traded Rossi and Treinen and a pick for Peterka? We would have money to sign Both Peterka and Boesser.
Buffalo is in a similar situation with the Wild, they both want proper value for Peterka/Rossi and don't want the Offer sheet compensation as its undervalued… so why don't both teams just trade with each other 1-1?
Can't believe we're talking about getting rid of a 60 point player.
Jiricek played pretty good in his limited time up here and is still very young. Don’t understand why some people are so down on him
Be pretty sad if they gave up on ohgren already
Wont be good if the jeircheck trade is a bomb
Rossi,boldy and kirill will be our top line
A 3 team trade is harder than Hynes & Billy trusting a young prospect in the Top 6. Rossi is the best of the options left. Marner will be in Carolina. Bennett will be in Florida. Duchene will get 7m+ from some team not named the Wild. And there has never been a link to JJ, it's Wild fans with wild speculation talking about it. Besides, any deal would be Rossi+Pick and you'd have to pay him 7m+ for a wing… and still zero depth down the middle. The same story as the HISTORY of this franchise. Trading for JJ at the expense of Rossi is stupid.
The perception of this team will only change once Billy is gone. He's the problem. He's built this roster. He's 0-6 the last six years. I would love a new GM. Billy will overpay in a trade for JJ, then put him on the 3rd or 4th line behind Mojo. That is the Billy way, the Hynes way….
We don't really need Jiricek to be a top 4
Some things nobody is mentioning: update on KK contract? Is he waiting to see what BG does? Try to get Trocheck. Trade spurgeon to team needing to mentor for their small D (not brodin cuz we will need him to play against mcjesus in playoffs
Be aggressive and include wallsted in a major trade with other pieces
Who knew trashing your own guy before you trade him isn't a great way to build a market.
I really want Kuznetsov. No one is talking about him. Friends with Kaprizov. Fits the role Rossi played way more than Rossi for less money.
