@weenreeno@spy_d_er Marchenko is way to talented to be on the 3rd line. Odds are he'd play with Kaprizov unless Zuccy is back, then he'd be playing with Boldy. And apparently his trade value is quite high so the Wild would probably have to give up Yurov in a deal for him.
@B_Marsh92 Tarasanko was brought in to score goals in the bottom 6 and he did a great job at that getting 23 on the year, but he had 2 goals in his last 19 regular season games. He looked better in the playoffs tho. Would love him back but gotta see how the dominos fall.
@annikadevils If I had to speculate my guess would be the Wild have a 3, 4, and 5 year deal on the table for Quinn and he (Quinn) told the Wild he's going to extend with them but to give him some time to pick what deal.
It fits the Leipold saying hes gonna resign but not knowing the length.
@JFreshHockey Minnesota should be all over this imo. Cheap for this year and Wild can easily free up money for his extension even if Hughes extends too. Perfect Zuccy replacement for Kaprizov and if Zuccy comes back he can play with Boldy.
@quinnifer43 3 year deal in MN so Quinn can try to win a cup as I believe MN is closer than NJ, then Quinn and Jack can hit FA together and go from there. Big factor is where is Luke at? I see the brothers joining Luke wherever he is at, and I think that is in NJ.
@B_Marsh92 I forget but is there any beef with any of the Avs players? Like Jamie Benn level beef. I don't know if I'm just blanking but I can't think of any Avs players there is beef with like that. We just don't like the Avs cuz were rivals, but we respect their whole team.
@dvigilrpg@LizardKing1893@citchmook@DailyFaceoff We aren't talking about pk but since we are now I'd rather have my top guys not play on the pk. The problem is you then need depth guys who are elite at the pk. No need for my star getting hurt while blocking a shot, plus more minutes at 5v5 for my best guys.
@citchmook@DailyFaceoff 3 goals against when the Wild have a goalie in net in 4 games is definitely getting caved in. Btw all 3 came in game 1.
Yall watched the Avs score like 20 times vs Middleton and you decide no, its definitely Hughes that its getting caved in defensively.
@LizardKing1893@citchmook@DailyFaceoff He's been on the ice for 3 goals against where the Wild have had a goalie in net. All of them coming in game 1...
@B_Marsh92 My wishful thinking is Brodin is back tomorrow and they are benching Middsy for Hunt on the 3rd pair so they don't want to separate Hunt-Petry in practice.
But in reality I know Brodin like broke his foot or whatever and he's done for the year.
@NHL_Muse@reporterchris Only way he joins the Wild is Toronto basically getting pick of the litter on everyone not named Hughes, Faber, Kaprizov, Boldy, and Eriksson Ek. I could see everyone else being moved to bring in AM. Plus many many draft picks.
@MarkLazerus Imo Wild need to focus on game 3. I don't see how you can make adjustments quick enough from game 1 to win game 2 with the same lineup. So if the Wild are going to lose might as well have Gus in net. Then hope the adjustments come together for game 3 w/ Ek back & Wally in net.
