@BrandonOffTackl@MakinItRaine18 I think a 3rd and a 5th could probably land Nelson. Lineman, even the great ones, typically don't command a really high draft pick unless it's a tackle.
@BrandonOffTackl I still think he has a lot of talent, but I think the question marks to the organization were too many. I feel if he had looked a little more polished and consistent last season and was able to stay healthy, he would be the starter this year.
@DanMyers He also has a 5 million dollar bonus for 10 games played so it turns into 6 million for the year per Russo. Definitely changes the perspective.
@Nicholasryan06 @RussoHockey I think he more means to not just be ready to come back but also but in strong physical shape as well. Usually rehabbing means you lose muscle mass. At least that's what I think he was meaning.
@QacQaac85@RussoHockey And the Avs gave up a ton for a 36 year old player. It's clear this deadline was not a buyer's market. The assets the Wild have are enough to make one really big move in the summer or a couple smaller moves, they chose the former and I don't blame them.
@rentzbj@BrandonMileski It's not about "moving the needle". Quinn is the second best defenseman in the league, Kirill is a top 5 winger and Faber is one of the best young two way defenseman. Relative to position and ability, they should absolutely be on this list.
@PrimeYuniorSev@RussoHockey He's just a specific player. I think as the season has gone on they've been learning how to best use him and it's starting pay off. The guy has a wicked shot still and he's been in better spots now.
@jzulgad@jessi_pierce I think it's time we start having the conversation that Quinn is the best player on this team. Never thought I'd say that with Kap on the team but what Hughes does every night with his skating and possession is almost unquantifiable.
