All things considered tremendous deal for Van from a zero leverage position

 

[Habspatrol]

That's a pretty impressive haul for Van.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Not a bad trade all things considered

 

[Sal_Butera]

Game on …. Who’s next

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

a lot for Minnesota to give up for a guy who will leave in 1.5 seasons,

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

should keep Cannots out of the McKenna sweepstakes which is good

 

[Sal_Butera]

Imagine Hughes doesn’t sign an extension with Wild?

 

[GrandWazoo]

Imagine Hughes doesn’t sign an extension with Wild?

They have 0.8 seasons to figure it out

I would be shocked if he does,

I'm trying to understand the theory. They traded away their best player, how does that keep them out of the sweepstakes?

Will Van deal Elias Pettersson & what is the ask?

But Guerin is an interesting wild card in this, playing the USA Hockey card for some guys. Minnesota is ground zero, in some ways.
