Re: Wild trade for Quinn Hughes!
Wild coach Hynes should lose his job for that loss last night, but Guerin won’t do that. Only Quinn Hughes insisting he get fired for him to sign with Wild would make that happen. Middleton was on the ice for 13 of 20 COL 5x5 goals, including the last two. Why he and Spurgeon were paired incessantly when it clearly wasn’t… -
Re: Wild trade for Quinn Hughes!
Apparently after the Quinn deal was finalized, Billum took a run at trading for Luke and were laughed at. At that point the Wild couldn't make the money work anyway unless Mighty Mouse was in the deal which wouldn't have made any sense for NJ. The only hope there is someone in NJ wants to tear it down and start over but… -
Re: Wild trade for Quinn Hughes!
> > > Not sure why so many want to dump Gus. Since coming here, he's had a very nice .911 Save %. I don't understand how surgery would increase his trade value, at least for now. Wallstedt had a fantastic rookie year. I think it might be premature to go "all in" with him so quickly and it really all comes down to Gus… -
Re: Wild trade for Quinn Hughes!
@lanemyer85 Are you saying that it was a HUGE mistake to give Game #2 to Gustavsson because once he shit the bed, he killed his future trade value? The way you worded your post didn't register but this would make complete sense. Gus Bus has nearly a $7M salary after this next season which is ridiculous - Guerin way… -
Re: Wild trade for Quinn Hughes!
2023-24 Quinn Hughes won the Norris trophy, Makar finished 3rd. I also heard Hughes was looking like he was going to win the next year, then got injured and was surpassed my Makar. So far, Hughes looks to be much better than Makar in this series. Looking more and more like both Brodin and Ek are out with broken feet.… -
Re: Wild trade for Quinn Hughes!
@JoeBonzai -- I think that's a big understatement or even excuse to say Middleton was paired wrong. Who you you pair him with? He was absolute trash & needs to be released, if cannot be traded. He was atrocious. Hynes should lose his job after what he did last night. He won't but he should. The Wild could have won the… -
Re: Wild trade for Quinn Hughes!
Just looked at unrestricted free agent centers. I see nothing. old guys, Kopitar and Malkin both are 40. Boone Jenner? 33 years old, good size at 6'2" 200, not a big scorer, pretty good at face offs, looks to be the best UFA center. The guy I would go hard for is Alex Tuch. just turned 30. He can play center. He's big and… -
Re: Wild trade for Quinn Hughes!
Buium? I agree with most of this. Zucc for 1 year looks good. Johansson played for next to nothing and has improved a bit the last three straight years. He's old, but still has speed. I would offer him a contract and a decent raise. How did Nick Foligno, 38, get a $4M contract? He's gone unless he plays for the minimum, or… -
Re: Wild trade for Quinn Hughes!
The announcement by Guerin at his presser that Gustavsson needs hip surgery - minor or not - was rather odd. Could be a spin by Guerin to help increase his trade value? The bigger question is when exactly did he get hurt and did he notify the team that he was even injured? I don't recall that being something I read about… -
Re: Wild trade for Quinn Hughes!
I am hearing that too! Quinn likes it here and is open to signing, a 3 year deal? Interesting. Jack will become an unrestricted free agent after the 2029-30 season. That leaves Luke who just signed an 8 year deal. In 3 years (sooner?) Jack can kind of force a trade if he wants to come here. Price would still be high, but…
