@JoeSmithNHL@FOTRshow@RussoHockey I get that Boldys contract is amazing, Eks and Fabers are great, but i imagine more of those deals and less of kirills 17 would increase the chance at a cup
@JoeSmithNHL@FOTRshow@RussoHockey When guys say they like it here, do you believe it's genuine? I'd think if guys like it here they'd take a little less to win. Kirill taking 17M and the rumored Quinn 16-20M has me skeptical that guys actually like it here as much as has been said. 15 is still A LOT
@RussoHockey@AnthonyLaPanta@TalkNorthPod I think you've said the Wild had no interest in bringing Hlavaj back. Is Gus/wally the reason for that? His Iowa numbers aren't great, but Wally had bad Iowa numbers too and Hlavaj always seemed to do well in international play. Did the wild not believe?
@JoeSmithNHL@FOTRshow@RussoHockey Are Brady Tkachuck or Austen Matthew's realistic trade options as has been hinted by "going big game hunting"? Both whelm me since Bradys not a center and Matthew's seems to have injury issues. Not to mention both costing a lot $ wise and trade wise
@PantherPourri@MNState0fHockey Lapanta can be a clown, but why would 5,000 at a PANTHERS game be a diss for the Wild? An empty Amerant would be on Panthers fans...
@RussoHockey@AnthonyLaPanta@TalkNorthPod From the NHLs perspective has the ESPN broadcast deal been successful? As a Wild fan I assume its on fanduel till I see its not. ~5 games a year isn't worth paying for ESPN+ to me and I dont care about non wild games till the playoffs start.
@JoeSmithNHL@FOTRshow Does how much one guy gets paid and how that impacts the cap something that players are aware of? Kirills said he wants to win, but if he gets too big a piece of the cap pie, I question if it is about winning if kirll getting 19+ limits the team built around him
@RussoHockey@AnthonyLaPanta I'd rather keep Rossi, but what would you think is a realistic trade for Rossi? I know you've said JJ Peterka would be a guy to target. Would that be straight up or would there be add ons from either side?
@JoeSmithNHL@FOTRshow@GopherHockey If GMBG said it's not our turn this year, why use "assets" like Marat and a 2nd to trade for Nyquist and Brazeu? Is it a chip and a chance at a cup or is it still proving to kirill that we can win? Mixed messages man
@Feeling_MN75@theWalrusPaul@HockeyEsk28669@RussoHockey Sold low on him. Marat needed time in the AHL. It's a low probability he'll become more than what he is, but if you want him to be more than a 4th line guy, don't stick him on the 4th line. Let him learn and score in Iowa
@Content_clud@WildTakes10k Because of the cap. No 97 or 46 if he stays up. Top pair time in Iowa will benefit him more than bottom pair time with the wild anyway
@Bossman_10K@BarstoolBigCat Like who you like, but back in school, all the kids who liked the Packers always bragged about liking the Packers. Blame them
