I think you would have to be fairly certain that both guys will be 100% healthy for the start of the playoffs before you can even consider giving up anything of value in a trade for this year.If Kirill and EK are out until the playoffs she might be a bumpy ride trying to hang onto a playoff spot.
put em both on LTIR and get trading and we'll be LOADED for the postseason. Might as well join the ranks of those who have manipulated the cap and do something with it before they close the loophole
Would love to see Guerin find a way to move Spurgeon though.

was a little tongue in cheek. I don’t think they’ll be big buyers because we never are
Wild add a depth forward.

I like the move. But it’s not nearly enough at this juncture!Wild add a depth forward.
Decent player. Good fit for what they need. Rather large overpay for what he is now. The best sign from this trade is that it's obvious that this move was made because Guerin is feeling the heat. They have reached the point where Guerin should have to start proving that he deserves to keep his job.
Brodin is now out week to week.

at least the PK should improveBrodin is now out week to week.
Bowness is an awful lot more optimistic about this teams postseason hopes than I unless we're going to win a bunch of 3-2 games. obviously getting healthy is the most important thing, but I just don't see enough scoring to beat the Jets, Stars, Avalanche, Knights or Oilers (this is provided they get it figured out enough at this point to hang onto the wild card; I don't see them finishing ahead of Colorado with this lineup)
Trade with Boston

I never did get my #22 Wild jersey updated from Fiala. Guess I’m glad I didn’t. So this was NOT my fault. 😬
Danila Yurov is likely the next #22 for the Wild. Kid has a chance to be a really good player, so if you could avoid destroying his career, that would be appreciated.Trade with Boston

I hope Fluery plays this afternoon
Aloha!

Wild very well may BLOW their 7 point lead (for 8th playoff spot). Remember that red hot start in October… getting pissed away. It’s certainly smelling that way. Craig can’t be happy at this juncture…and Billy’s G has got to be getting nervous.
There’s just very little transparency with this team either compared to most NHL teams. Lot of smoke from GM but very little public truth telling/admitting. What’s Mark Walberg line from “The Departed” regarding sharing info with the FBI…”feed they shit like they’re mushrooms”? That’s Billy G attitude towards Wild fans…
Initially I liked Billy G compared to stuff shirt non player Fletcher. But now he’s created his own comfortable at failing Country Club team atmosphere .
Don't we at least see what he has planned after all these years of eating salary cap for Parise and Suter? The guy has been playing with one hand behind his back and the players can't stay healthy.
I'd be fine if the oft injured Spurgeon and/or Brodin were moved elsewhere. If you're going to pay big $$ for players we need them on the ice. Brodin seems to be a 50-60 game per year player recently. Hard to win when your missing 1-2 of your top 4 D for most of the season, especially when you're living in salary cap hell.

The guy has proven that he has zero understanding of the salary cap, why would you want to trust him with it again after wasting 4 years to get past his first mistake? If you're going to keep Guerin around, you absolutely need to hire someone who understands the salary cap and the value of players under it.
I am fine with giving him some rope, but not a terribly long one at the same time.
the problem with that approach is that this July is the most critical month this team has seen in a long time. If you're willing to let Guerin handle those decisions, you might as well commit the next 3-4 years to him.I am fine with giving him some rope, but not a terribly long one at the same time.
Can't see this as a desirable destination for potential free agents or KK deciding to stay here. Of course, the money is primary, but the chance to seriously contend for a Cup is a huge factor as well.
