Michael Russo: Re Maxim Shabanov: Bill Guerin said the Wild actually tried to sign him coming out of Russia before he opted for the Islanders. It sounds like he wanted a change of scenery - The Athletic (7/2)
Who says no?
To DET:
Jonas Brodin
Ryan Hartman
Jared Spurgeon
2027 1st
2028 1st
2033 6th
To MIN:
Dylan Larkin
Moritz Seider
Lucas Raymond
As a Wings fan I think this deal is fair - gives Detroit center and defensive depth, also gives Wild a good return too #LGRW#mnwild
@TheMugNHL I would probably consider Yurov and the 1sts for Hughes.. otherwise just wait until Jackโs a UFA.
Sounds like Guerin already has Quinn locked up. Can acquire Auston Matthews while he waits for Jack
Spurgeon and Brodin bring a winning culture, which Seider and Raymond simply havenโt proven yet.
After all, itโs well known by casual NHL fans Brodin and Spurgeon regularly shut down Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon.
Plus you're completely ignoring the 2033 6th rounder. Asset management will be the key for the Yzerplan #LGRW
@313Hockey Honestly, all those guys are unproven. Weโd rather retain Larkin, Compher and Rasmussens locker room presence. Seider and Raymond for Hartman and Spurgeon makes a lot of sense. Trust the process #LGRW
@TheBookGirl25 Larkin wants a change of scenery, but Yzerman isn't giving him away for pennies.
If Bill Guerin won't part with Boldy, then packaging Brodin, Hartman, Spurgeon and those picks is the only way the money even works.
Hartman will waive it if he wants a shot in Hockeytown #LGRW
