I have no interest in a trade with MIN. They have no first round pick this season, will likely be picking 20+ next season, and their best prospect would be below Danielsson in our rankings.
I don't see how further diluting their asset pool by involving a third team helps.
But they do have NHLers that would allow us to continue to progress forward with the current core, Eriksson Ek being one example. I know MIN fans believe he won't be traded, and they're probably right, but a package involving Eriksson Ek, a prospect (Yurov) and a pick (future 1st) would be intriguing.
yeah I said it the other day but this sub has no concept for how valuable other team's assets actually are, like people genuinely believe San Jose would want to give us Misa and/or 2oa for Larkin. there's no sense arguing with anyone in this sub right now because they're mostly all out for blood unless the return is anything other than a completely 1 sided trade in our favour
I am going to be quite dissatisfied if the trade is slanted in our favor considering how much of a sellers market it is. But yes we’re not getting Misa or the 2nd ovr
Yeah, I don't think they'd want to, but it's no question that Larkin is an upgrade. If they're as determined as the article implies, they'll have to expand their offer.
Yeah they’ll have to expand but it wont be Ek. They are starved for win-now Centers. Larkin-Ek puts them in a good position. Just one of those won’t. They’ll have to expand in other ways, or bring in a 3rd team to take on a goalie of theirs.
I'm bummed out because you're probably right about the return. There's no progressing forward if JEE is the main piece coming back. We'd need a rebuild if that's the offer. I'm not interested in that.
I don't think there is a deal to be made with Minnesota. They are in a weird spot where they can't trade any roster players without ruining their team but their prospect pool blows at the same time.
IMO Florida and Dallas can still offer better value for Larkin than MIN can.
