Hoping for a good trade for the Wild
Plain and simple…We need a top 6 Centerman who can score & win face-offs!!!
*Petry is a fine depth trade. It cost almost nothing. We know a few of the Wild Dmen are absolute softies and literally none of them hit…..I'm good with it.
*The Jiricek experiment is over.
*The Trocheck deal appears to be dead. Go get Stammer to score goals if the price is right.
I'll take the spotty grizzled vet in a pinch
This trade stuff is getting nerve wracking .
Jack Hughes
I dn think the Trochek deal is dead. I think NY trying for more but may not make it.
Quinn Hughes is counted as a deadline move?!?! I can't force myself to see it that way. 🙈
Hello everyone, I know it's been awhile, my thoughts on what's going on with the Wild, to start I really like what Billy has done with the newest additions , the Wild are a better team
As I told you over a month ago
It's going to take 4 pieces to Aguirre
A center, now that Nashville has decided to blow up the team, I believe Billy is talking to Nashville again, yes ROR is back on the board
I'm thinking this is what it will take
A FIRST ROUND PICK
STRAMEL
YUROV
AND JIRCEK
The price is high losing yurov is what makes the trade work, this is really the kind of PKG it's going to take
For a deal, and if ROR doesn't work
Trocheck is still available, there's been nothing on Toronto, but I would hope Billy is looking at Tarevares
Believe me I've seen seen TRADES happen in the last minute
I'm working with Seth on changing the show, update coming
Thank you everyone for all the kind words, Denny from what the hell are you smoking
What's preventing the Wild from getting Ovi?
