Re: Wild pick 12th
You can take Caufield. The NHL draft is a crap-shoot after the top 3 picks. (FA scouting/unsigned players are so important in the NHL) If Lavoie falls to 12, Wild need to snatch him up. Broberg or Harley are other appealing pics at 12 for this team.
Caulfield will be a good player tho.

Re: Wild pick 12th
I'm too young to remember Ftorek as a player, but he seems to be in the mold of an Alex Debrincat, including that he's a Right shot which this team sorely lacks at the forward position. If Fenton had much say in the drafts in Nashville I expect him to take a defenseman though as that's what Nashville usually does in round 1.Hornets wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 6:03 pmReminds me of a young Robbie Ftorek!Hole Nova Level wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 2:41 pm You can take Caufield.

On a related note, that Swedish kid they picked in round one last year as atrocious as it gets to the point that if I were the team owner I would have vetoed it. Could have probably still had him as late as the third round if they still really wanted him and still got an actual player worthy of a first round pick in addition to him. I'll have to reread the draft thread tomorrow because I'm pretty certain Bob McKenzie said a number of things that weren't good not least of which was that NOBODY (besides the Wild I guess) had the kid pegged anywhere near a first round pick.

Re: Wild pick 12th
Any love for Suzuki here?
More of a pass first playmaker than pure shooter. But very skilled and quicker than his brother.
Granny replacement.

No love for Spencer Knight? Seems to be a guy that gets mocked around our pick quite often and might be one of the better tenders drafted into the league in a while.

Re: Wild pick 12th
Exactly! Even Modano said it. We haven’t had a dynamic scorer since Gaborik. Draft some finishers!Hornets wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 10:55 am I want the Wild to pick the best offensive player available when it's their turn. I DO NOT want another 180lb smooth skating defenseman, and I DO NOT want a big rugged forward who is good on face offs but is limited offensively. Know nothing about Kaliyev but he sounds ok, and I still would love to see Cole Caufield if he's available.
Fuck you. Original RC 2004 & RC Kickball Team.

Draft Bobby Brink, kid is the best skater I've seen, elite passer and can finish.

Re: Wild pick 12th
ST. PAUL - Minnesota Wild General Manager Paul Fenton today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has acquired the rights to defenseman Fedor Gordeev from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a conditional seventh round selection in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The trade is conditional on Gordeev signing a contract with Minnesota prior to June 1, 2019.

I would have zero issue if we went with Knight. Love what Ive read about him.bombers3shooter wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2019 9:34 am No love for Spencer Knight? Seems to be a guy that gets mocked around our pick quite often and might be one of the better tenders drafted into the league in a while.
Dubs is 33. Kaapo look decent but not special.

Re: Wild pick 12th
We need a player to fall to us. But then again Fenton is making the call and will probably draft another Swedish defensemen that was projected to go in the 3rd round.
My shit don’t stink.

Re: Wild pick 12th
Hoping for Goaltender guy or scorer. No Dman. No super reach.
Perhaps a Zucker trade today. But like the route of grabbing a donato/fiala like move. Just not a rask like trade. Elias Lindholm would be great. Not Folingo and 1st.

Spencer Knight interest anyone? You have to think the Wild are 5 years from contending.
