Wild Trade Rumors

[walleyes12]

I have also heard the wild are really trying to get jokinen!! Hopefully this happens, but I won't hold my breath!! As far as keeping Rolston and Demitra, i agree they are a must keep but I don't see it happening! Maybe they will keep 1 of the 2. I also think Branko needs to find a new home, along with skoula, terrible players that are slowing us up!

Why does Lemaire seem to keep spliting up Gabby and Pavel? they create a lot of chances through the neutral zone with gabbys speed and Pavel vision?

I see the Wild inked Nick Schultz to a 6yr $21 Million dollar extension. Good signing for the Wild.

[8-Ball]

A good move, indeed.

[walleyes12]

nice sign its good to keep him around! Still waiting for a trade or pick up?? Hopefully today something happens

[maros91]

I just got done reading that Peter Forsberg has signed with the Colorado Avalanche. Now that he didn't sign with the Wild I hope he breaks his foot . I thought that he wasn't going to play this year. Oh well, Calgary picked up a defenseman a couple days ago, the Av's get Forsberg, and the Wild hasn't made a move yet. Teams in the division are making moves, lets see if the Wild do something by the deadline at 2pm tomorrow.

I just seen the Flyers added Vaclav Prospal of the Lightning. Flyers were in a long losing streak until tonight with the shootout win.

[walleyes12]

Today is the day! The Wild need to add offense, lets wait and see, hopefully they don't disappoint the fans!

I just dont forsee them getting anyone that will make a huge difference. Its not the way the team has ever operated, and I dont think they should give up any of our good young talent to rent a player for half a season. If they can get a good player that will sign a 3 year contract, then it may be worth it.

[maros91]

Lots of deals have happened but none with the Wild so far. Brian Campbell went to the Sharks, Brad Richards went to the Stars, Huet went to the Capitals, Martin LaPopinte went to Ottawa, and Tuomuu Rutuu went to Carolina. Avalanche added D-man Ruslan Salei and are in talks with Columbus about Adam Foote. Wild need to do something. 2 hours left.

[8-Ball]

This is the year to do something because Rolston and Demo will be gone. Apparently Risebrough doesn't see it that way as everyone else is improving while he sits on his hands. Nothing new there. I know he signed Schultz and Burns and that was a good move, but we obviously need to add some physical presence and someone who can win a face-off. I don't think it will happen...

Dallas gets stronger, Sharks get stronger. This is ridiculous!!!!!!!! I am so tired of "we don't do it that way,"we grow from our farm system" MAKE a #$%^ trade. Your fans have supported you from day 1. Take a chance, mortgage your future and try to make a run!!!!!!!

[9joey1]

Fedorov, Foote off the board

The ironic part is from what they are saying we have ZERO desirable prospects in Houston. Our farm system is all on the team and look at where we are. IMO it's this year or not for another 3 years.

[9joey1]

I agree.... 30 minutes and counting

[wallmounter]

Trade deadline is here and gone and looks like the Wild are standing pat. Hope they can turn it around, the next few games will say a lot about the rest of this year. I think the Wild will make the playoffs but without home ice in the first round it looks like another one and done. Next season may be a long season.

Wild acquire winger Chris Simon from the Islanders for a 6th round pick. Wild ad another goon. You have got to be kidding me.

[maros91]

Fedorov went to the Caps and in the biggest deal of the day Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupuis goe to the Penguins. Pens give up Armstrong, Christensen, Esposito and a 1st rounder.

[Scott K]

a why?

My thought exactly, maybe we can skate him, Boogaard and Fedoruk together and put Hanson on the back of all their jerseys.

I would rather the Wild give up that 6th round pick for Troy Williamson.

[Fishing_High]

They needed someone to score the puck and win a faceoff. Well hopefully they can beat the Capitals tonight because Calgary and Vancouver are playing really good, and Avs just landed Forseberg yesterday.

[maros91]

Avs get Forsberg, Foote, and Salei. Flames get Vandermeer. Canucks trade Matt Cooke for a guy that has 7 points this year and the Wild add Chris Simon. Looks like one team wants to win the division. Like previously stated the Wild needed scoring and a face off guy and end up with another goon. Maybe in the offseason we can add George Laraque and skate with boxing gloves on and don't even carry a stick.

As long as they put the foil on first

[maros91]

Always put foil on coach.

The Wild seem just like the Twins. We build from within....looking toward the future....blah, blah, blah. Hopefully someday we will get some people to go after a big name or two....you never know we might win a Stanley Cup....but as long as the fans keep coming, there is no need.
