N4ZZY Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 9 hours ago, Boudrias said: Does Mik fit into a possible deal? His play doesn't warrant top 6. Thing is, I don't know too much about Dylan Strome's defensive play. If we trade for a player, we better have Tocchet's input on the kind of player they're about to acquire, because you don't really want another Kuzmenko type of situation. I like Mik, but he just can't seem to stay healthy. He's healthy now, but he can't put the puck in the net. Just watch, once he catches a little fire and starts putting pucks in net, he'll get injured, then shut down, etc. He hasn't played a full season, and I think he's what, half way into his deal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the chances, but this guy fits the mold. On 1/11/2024 at 12:13 PM, Diamonds said: The only reason Minnesota entertains trading Eriksson Ek is if they decide to go scorched earth rebuild. He's an elite defensive center who somewhat recently found another level offensively and is locked in at a good cap hit for the next 5 seasons. Plus he is a member of the leadership core and as you pointed out still fairly young. I can't see why Minnesota would ever consider trading him unless it's a massive overpayment. On 1/11/2024 at 12:20 PM, Jester13 said: If Minny is thinking of going in a different direction, which they might be, I'd be okay going all-in for him. Ek is exactly what we need if we want to keep the Lotto line together: 26yo, 6'3 207lbs, 200ft player, term. Id mentioned him in another thread floating around. Gotta think the cost would probably be something along the lines of our first and podkolzin. It’s likely they’d ask for Willander, but I think that’s a non starter. I’m not honestly sure A deal around Kuzmenko gets that one done (although he might have to be involved for cap purposes). One of the other names I’d mentioned was Boone Jenner. Likely more attainable and could still have a short term positive impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolexSub Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Crouse would be a nice addition for the playoffs where we would need his muscles and toughness and he is a pretty big guy at 6ft 4inches. Although, he only broke 20 goals twice but I think he can do better here. I am open for this trade as much as I like Kuzzy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that's a non-starter. Do you think they could ask for Lekkerimaki if they strike out with Willander? I'm not sure I trade him either. Those two are the two non-touchables. I'd rather give up picks, than those two guys. I absolutely think that Allvin and Rutherford will trade the 2024 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuzmenko's probably more dynamic, but I'm not sure how he'll fare in the postseason where the whistles go away, and the play is far more physical.

GMs will up their prices on us now, so we may not be able to do much more. Yep Ek, players of like him, drool time. I don't see any deal though that will see Lek or Will moved. Their entry level contracts will have a huge impact moving forward. Really, these two are almost essential moving forward. The upcoming cap crunch is real. That said, I absolutely feel the Canucks first pick is in play but with the team doing so well, that first doesn't hold the same value as previous years. I suspect some filler moves, but nothing major. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a 25-30 goal 50-60 point pace player that plays 200 feet, he gets injured because of his style of play, his health would be my only concern if we were after him as our 2c, 3.25 for a very competent tocchet styled 2c, left shot is the only thing not lining up for me right now. He’s not EK but he wouldn’t cost a top prospect either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably do both of D Petey and Brzustewicz before either of Willander or Lekkerimaki. The latter two seem to be pretty much locks for the NHL and a decent shot at being in the top half of your lineup while still on cheap ELCs. The other two have a decent chance at being NHLers, but might not make it or not be significant contributors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzukes Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 On 1/7/2024 at 3:29 AM, Sophomore Jinx said: There's much more to this player than stats show. IMO he hasn't even hit his stride yet in this league. He's a 6'4" physical winger, who was rushed into the league, and has had to languish on a shitty, mess of a team ever since, for his whole career. With the right fit and line mates IMO he's a 30/25 guy, or even better. I like Kuz a lot, but if he's not in the plans here, and we can get a RT type player in Crouse for him (200 ft player, physical) we should take it and run...Crouse would be much more effective in the playoffs than Kuz too. Absolutely. A couple folks here are under judging him. He's exactly the type of player we need to compliment players like JT, Petey, and Boeser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hear speculation that Soucy and Zadz were rumoured to be possible gets for us, and PA makes it happen. The Hronek get was totally out of left field. Knew nothing about it, nor of the principal involved. (Who the f*ck!?!?!??!?!??) And he signs no name (Well. No name to me!) free agents, Daks, Bluegar, Cole and such. Dude surprises me at every turn, man! Certainly does his homework! I eagerly await his next surprise move/moves in the next 6 weeks or so.
