In this scenario I'd give up Kappy before Boldy #moreupside

[Todd Hattrick @tmatthewshockey]

Why Boldy and Yurov make sense in a Larkin deal:

Boldy helps make the cap work. Yurov gives Detroit upside. The 2028 first gives Detroit currency. Another asset becomes the Tkachuk tax. Larkin gives Minnesota the center it still needs.

Want more than just Larks? That's why you negotiate.

#LGRW #RedWings #mnwild

Stingy Wild need to stop clutching Matt Boldy if they want Dylan Larkin https://t.co/H8sSXjKXBC

[Kurt Rolling @kurtrolling]

in addition to other players from @mnwild - I'm aware Jesper isn't enough for Jack - but I'm thinking Yurov, Stramel, (2) firsts and Jesper for Jack Hughes #onecandream

[Kurt Rolling @kurtrolling]

@RussoHockey setting up for a Wally for Hughes trade?

[Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun]

There are other small parts to this Jacob Markstrom-Evan Rodrigues trade. New Jersey did not retain salary on Markstrom, whose two-year extension ($6M AAV) kicks in next season.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

[Kurt Rolling @kurtrolling]

the fact that you didn't mention @mnwild makes your take null in void

[Maclintock @Maclintock1]

@nhltraderumours He won’t go to a Canadian Team period. Vegas ( best friend Eichel) and they could trade a good package for Sure. Utah lots of young talent up and coming, San Jose, Anaheim, Buffalo, Philly all lots of young talent to trade and of course Florida, Tampa.

I chatted with a few Jaguars after they won Bloomington Jefferson softball their first state title.

When are people going to wake up and realize we pay waaaaayyyy too much for entertainment? #greed

[Paul Lambert @MeatSauce1]

What a waste of money

[Kurt Rolling @kurtrolling]

My gut says with $15 mil cap space, they sign Mac with more term than usual so he can get his secured $$. 5 years at $2m per. He's too versatile to let go. Solidifies 2 spots up the middle that is the Wild Achilles.

[WildLetsTalk @WildLetsTalk]

Continued GM UFA moves.
Big Mac- he loves it here, but could get more elsewhere. He takes location over dollars, big time ferda
Johansson- I would like to see him off to Sweden personally. If he does come back on a 1 year, I say under a million for sure.

[Kevin Paul Dupont @GlobeKPD]

Curious, dear readers, do you prefer ESPN or TNT for your Cup broadcasts?

[Kurt Rolling @kurtrolling]

This needs to be the 10th option

[r @kkaprison]

Russo gets it

[Kurt Rolling @kurtrolling]

@ChrisLongKSTP send a copy of this to the Wolves

[Chris Pronger @chrispronger]

Working hard is important.

Ownership is harder.

No excuses. No blame. No waiting for someone else to fix it.

The best leaders and teams start with the mirror.

[Kurt Rolling @kurtrolling]

Product of a league run by the players. They dictate where they want to play. They also play when they want to play and the Wolves are full of players that don't want to play hard. They got paid, why should they work hard for it. Jordan would never let that happen.

[Chris Long @ChrisLongKSTP]

@BrianHalverson Such a chicken/egg situation.

Is Finch not effectively reaching players, or is this roster just that undisciplined?

Honestly not sure. Could be some of both.

Sure feels like Finch can coach, but, it's an ongoing problem.

That + mailing in the regular season are the same.

[Kurt Rolling @kurtrolling]

I'm tired - when can we turn the page #DraintheSwamp

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Sure he was, dude. What a pathetic loser.

[Kurt Rolling @kurtrolling]

You and @coachbgonzo are both smokin something if you think anyone wants to trade for a bottom pair D and an oft injured defenceman

[Deacon Dugwell @DDugwell]

@CoachBGonzo I’d rather trade Brodin. Cant play a full season and costs $6 mil. Would definitely fetch more in a trade too

[Kurt Rolling @kurtrolling]

Looking forward to seeing what BG does to make the @mnwild better. Love the nucleus and with a few pieces, think this team can better compete with the top teams in the league and realistically compete for the cup #RoadtotheCup

[Chris Long @ChrisLongKSTP]

@kurtrolling What I had been saying - and saw plenty of others saying same - sucks that one of the best 3 teams in the West and 2 of, what, the best 5 in the league would be out i round 1… the another in round 2. Regardless which they were.

Other leagues go out of their way to avoid this.

[Kurt Rolling @kurtrolling]

Fair - how about next year, when we're in the same boat when the playoffs start, we table the playoff format talk until the dust has settled. It leads to speculation that the reason they'll lose is because the playoff format sucks.

[Chris Long @ChrisLongKSTP]

Again, for those in the back...

My tweet about the playoff format being moronic was not an excuse for the Wild.

The Wild needed to be better...

... AND ...

The NHL playoff format sucks.

Those statements are independent of each other.

The format sucks even if they'd won.

[Kurt Rolling @kurtrolling]

The goal is the cup not the CF #RoadtotheCup

[🐸 @kremit_tweets]

@kurtrolling Being in the conference final absolutely makes things better lol

[Kurt Rolling @kurtrolling]

what is the option? Faber and Hughes play more minutes? The better option might have been breaking up Faber and Hughes to get more balanced on the defensive end. I like how Hunt played as well. #reasonsforhope

[Todd Abeln @toddabeln]

Got to questions Hynes putting Spurgeon and Middleton back together. 3 goals allowed tonight.

What was Middleton this series -10?
