@Corndogdreams @citchmook Holy crap, I was watching the Buf/Mtrl game and thought I would check when Tuch was an UFA. I thought it was 2 years out... I love your idea!!

@Robert_Macachek @citchmook Bogosian I guess around league min. Would really be cool to see Burns come back for a year. He took a mil in Colo so maybe same. Him and Hunt 3rd pair I think would work well. Haight up from AHL. And with the Tuch idea McCarron gets priced out.

Trading Wallstedt is the exact opposite of what Minnesota needs to do. Kid is going to be incredible for years to come. Don't trade him.

@abbythelibb_ And my wife just said she is ordering their products going forward so your little tirade here is now offset. Crisis averted.

Two brands I had plans to purchase from before they paid Candace Owens for ads: Nimi Skincare & The Tuttle Twins In the case of Nimi, I went to their site to make my first purchase, saw Candace on their front page, and left (this was months ago, and she's still there). In the case of The Tuttle Twins, I had their books on a wishlist for when my kids are old enough. But then, days ago, I received their YouTube ad with Candace in it. Both these companies are paying Candace to torture Erika Kirk. She hasn't made content on anything else in a long time. They are funding her content, and that is her only content. Neither of these companies will ever receive a cent from me, though I have every reason to think highly of their actual products. What a shame.

@realjonnysamp @HanaHoops Don't forget, she is also a turnover machine. 8 yesterday!! 6 in the first half. They sat her for a large portion the the second half to stem the tide of turnover Barbie.

@HanaHoops Why are people hyping up mediocrity? She shoots from 4 feet away and struggles to reach 25%. 60% of her rebounds comes off of her own missed shot. She also one of the most blocked players in the game. If that’s impressive then I’ll watch 3rd graders play basketball.

Hate her or not you can’t deny this is incredibly impressive

@JetsFanNick @soIoucity Honestly, I sleep great. My life and identity isn't wrapped up in sports teams. I have just been 4 day bender following the Wild's departure. Just been enjoying NJ fans begging for Quinn when he already said NO just 5 months ago. Talk about not being able to let something go.

@Robert_Macachek @soIoucity Well I got to see the Yankee dynasty. I got to see the Devils dynasty. And atleast all 3 of my teams have actually won titles at one point in their history. Thats more than ANY Minnesota team, but hey whatever helps you sleep at night little buddy.

Hmmm, well I'm not a farmer and I don't cultivate but ok. Did you read my whole comment, "Always looking at the past and ignoring the present." ??? When was the last Jets title? Where you even alive🤣Kinda doubt it. If you weren't alive to see it, it doesn't count. At least I was at the 1987 and 1991 World Series. I have seen titles won so sorry, you fell flat again.

@Robert_Macachek @soIoucity My team has actually won titles. Both teams actually, silence pesant.

Ah the irony of a Jets fan lecturing another fanbase on playoffs. Always looking at the past and ignoring the present. Speaking of irony, looking at your bio: Christ is King followed by Jets(I f'ing hate this team)????

@Robert_Macachek @soIoucity Ahh yes, the wild and their successful playoff history of....checking my notes....first round exits!!!

Hey, whatever works for you. We are all good with no trade. It's not apples to apples though. We already have Kaprizov who had 94 pts this last season and Boldy who had 85 pts. Offensively, we are good for now. You guys were 24th in offensive and we were 10th. I agree, you guys would be crazy to get rid of Thomas. But to your point of Ek vs Thomas Robert Thomas is a pass-first, elite playmaking center, while Joel Eriksson Ek is a physically imposing, defensively dominant two-way center with high goal-scoring upside. Their styles reflect different on-ice roles, though both anchor the top-six units for their respective franchises. Detailed Comparison Playmaking vs. Scoring: Thomas is a highly efficient setup man, consistently racking up high assist totals and serving as the primary distributor on his line. Eriksson Ek relies more on net-front presence, a heavy shot, and heavy minutes, frequently putting up strong goal-scoring numbers with a slightly more physical, gritty edge. Production & Durability: In the most recent season, Thomas averaged exactly a point per game, despite appearing in fewer games (64) than Eriksson Ek, who played a full 82-game slate. Two-Way Impact: Both players are trusted heavily by their coaching staffs, typically logging between 18 and 20 minutes of time on ice per game. While Thomas boasts an impressive plus-minus (+22), Eriksson Ek (+18) is consistently deployed in all defensive situations and tasked with shutting down the opposition's top players Both are great players with high production but their skill sets lend to different areas of the game. No Ek killed us in the Colorado Series.

@Robert_Macachek @Corndogdreams @citchmook You realize Thomas only played 65 games this year and has been over point per game for basically the last 5 years right? I agree the Wallstedt trade doesn’t make much sense, but Eriksson Ek is is 65 point Center, Thomas is another tier above that

@AlexMicheletti Yeah, but early in the interview he acknowledged that we were missing critical guys due to injury. He knows they were fortunate to play us without Ek and Brodin. It's not as bad as it sounds. He gave the Wild props.

That’s tough 😬 #mnwild

I didn't miss it. Neither team will "circle back." It doesn't make sense for either one of them. Sure the Wild would love Thomas but Yurov is very young and coming along nicely. Wally has shown with his playoff performance that he is the future between the pipes and St. Louis is quite happy with Hofer. Their stats almost mirror each other from the regular season.

@Robert_Macachek @citchmook You must have missed the part of the original post that says they will circle back this offseason.

@dogandhockey @kiwismyymedicin JoJo can't and McCarron won't. Zucc's and Nick might cuz I think they want to stay for sure. As for the others, I sure hope so.

@Robert_Macachek @kiwismyymedicin Everyone can take a pay cut

The thought of never seeing big sexy throwing punches while wearing a mnwild jersey hunts me, I need him to stay

Did I say he would sign for sure? No. Sam sure thinks he will. You seem to think that because Zach Parise didn't sign 10 years ago with NJ, Minnesota can't trust Quinn's own words that he is interested. Not sure why Devil's fans are so invested in a player that has already said no to them.

@Robert_Macachek @LetsGoDevilsPOD None of us knows shit, yourself included.

Just come play with Jack and Luke, Quinn. Quit messing around

I hope you are right. I just really want Quinn to extend and Guerin to lock down some critical role players. The cap really scares me as we have to sign McCarron (a critical physical center) who only made 900k this year. He is gonna need at least 3m+ to stay and that is going to be a problem cuz we also gotta sign: Zuccarello (4.125m this year) Tarasenko (4.75m this year) Nick Foligno (4.5m this year-he has to take a cut) JoJo (800k a freaking bargain this year) Bogosian (1.25m - We have no depth at D) Hunt (775k this year but he'll get a raise as he is a RFA) Our depth really is concerning as we have traded so much away. We don't have a 1 or 3 pick this year and no 1 next year so the time is now.

@Robert_Macachek @citchmook My guess is STL went big game fishing with him as the bait hoping someone would send few real legit young players. But idk, Minnesota is in a position I think they could empty the farm for the piece they think can set em for the next 5 year window and get pieces on FA. We'll see.

@Capricorn1309 @ForRealTheWorst @soIoucity What are you even talking about? How am I "enthralled" by the handshake? You are kind of freaky.

@ForRealTheWorst @Robert_Macachek @soIoucity He claims to be a hockey fan? He's enthralled by the handshake at the end of the series? The thing they've been doing since Jesus wore short pants?

That would be a dream set up and our 3rd and 4th lines would be solid. Would have to offload Gus. We really need him to get back to his old self. Right now, trading him is off the table unless he can prove he is solidly back. He lost the starting job with Team Sweden too. Guerin's extension for him and really biting us in the a$$ right now. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate Gus and all he has been for us. I just know that Wally is our future between the pipes.

@Robert_Macachek @citchmook My dream would be to get Tuch in FA and Thomas in a trade. Heavy skilled 2nd line Boldy-Ek-Tuch really make life easy for a Kirill-Thomas-Zucc line.

@RipVanWinkleUSA @soIoucity I'll get back to you when he extends.

@Robert_Macachek @soIoucity Your team traded their future for a rental. PLEASE!

@RipVanWinkleUSA @soIoucity 🤣Please.

@Robert_Macachek @soIoucity SYBAU

@PrimetimeSamWoo OK? What is your point?

Quinn Hughes is a Yankees and Giants fan. Not a Twins and Vikings fan. His brothers play in New Jersey. Not in Minnesota. Don’t hate. Just facts.

@Corndogdreams @citchmook Sorry, I have been in so many conversations about this topic they are all running together. I don't mean to sound like a dick or patronizing. If I have, I apologize. You make very valid points and I think we are pretty much agreeing. I would love to have Thomas.

Hey, I'm not saying we don't want him, just that he isn't the second coming of Gretzky. But he is a 65 pt center that wins 52% of his faceoffs. That is a really good NHL'er to be sure but I don't think that is star power. I am sure that he is able to dictate play for the Blues and is their "go to" guy and absolutely the Wild would love to have him but with salary concerns already mounting it just doesn't make sense. Wally has been in the picture pretty much all year. He has only played 10 less games than Hofer and they are pretty much identical in stats. I 100% agree that they trade makes no sense for either club.
