    Hicks, getting it done.
  7. twinsnorth49
    Not exactly making him work last inning. Deduno looking good.

    Well sort of, they are driven more by overall production and offensive defensemen who play big minutes, score lots of points and have high possession totals are hard to find and have a much bigger impact. Oh well, agree to disagree, I think you greatly underestimate Letang, he's a special player. He's had a bad year but it's not a story of him waning, he was in the conversation for the Canadian Olympic team right up until it was announced, he deservedly didn't get picked but if you're even top 12 in that group you're a damn good player. He's a top second pairing on any other team, arguably first pairing and first team PP anywhere.

    Yeah, strokes and concussions will do that to you (see Crosby Sid, for the latter). The guy has still put up the 2nd highest point total amongst defensemen in the last 3-4 years, and despite logging huge pp minutes is still amongst the league leaders in even strength goals. Labeling Letang any as a liability after this season is a mistake, he's way too young and talented, you don't write off guys a year removed from being a Norris trophy finalist, especially considering what he went through. I think most people recognize that, at least they should. Geez, I don't even like Pittsburgh.
  10. twinsnorth49
    Doughty is a great player but he's inconsistent as hell. Norris trophy candidate defensemen who play 25+ minutes a night against top 6 forwards and run the PP are never liabilities.
  11. twinsnorth49
    Not quite, one is four years younger and a game changer, that puts him in a different category. I can't think of one team that would choose Koivu over what Letang brings to the table offensively, he's a poor man's Drew Doughty but that's pretty good. Hey don't get me wrong Kesler is a great idea just not going to happen, at least not without two strong prospects and a high draft pick, it's not the right time for the Wild to start doing that IMO. I don't know the many issues with Vanek, it's well documented he's not the greatest two way player around, other than that he is who he is, a guy who scores goals, that's a valuable commodity. Not saying he's the right fit but the Wild PP likely would have been much more effective with a guy like that around.
  12. twinsnorth49
    They call him, " Mr. Hicks". Sweey, happy for the guy.
  13. twinsnorth49
    Getting Kesler is worth a shot for any team, who wouldn't want a 29 year old top 3 two way forward? Problem is, it's a waste of time Kesler isn't coming to St. Paul. A. he doesn't want to play there and B. they don't have the goods to offer. I'm guessing he ends up in Pittsburgh, they should have done more to get him at the deadline and now after another early playoff exit they are going to shake things up, Letang in a package deal. Vanek would be a great fit for this team, I don't get the skating issue, he fits in fine with Montreal and they are arguably a better skating team than the Wild. He drives the net and has a knack of finding space, he's good anywhere. The biggest issue is what he's looking for, he's 30 and will be looking for a 6 or 7 year deal, I'm not sure the Wild want to go that route unless they feel they are in a position to go deep in the next 2-3 years, which is going to be his highest production window. Hiller or Halek,and Niskanen would help a lot, although I think Fletcher will ride with Harding and Kuemper. The Cammalleri idea is a good one, can't see it happening though, Michalek or Callahan would be upgrades IMO, or.................................you can have Setogouchi back .
  14. twinsnorth49
    Kessel not a good skater...................wha? Cammalleri is harder but Kessel is much more dangerous and 5 years younger, he still hasn't reached his ceiling and I'm not even that much of a fan. Vancouver isn't parting with Kesler for that, if they decide to move him it will be for more youth than Koivu.
  15. twinsnorth49
    Entirely...............or 50/50 with Bill Smith.

    Either Hicks or Santana get sent down when Fuld returns, a relief pitcher goes down when Arcia is ready, (Tonkin likely) Colabello goes when Hammer is ready, Parm stays. If Colabello stays then Santana goes down when Fuld comes back and Hicks goes down for Hammer. Either way a relief pitcher has to go for Arcia.

    Good battle by the Wild, crappy bounce, they deserved a better fate. Lack of finish and a dormant PP cost them in the end, Crawford was pretty steady. Not looking forward to being in the same division as this team in the next few years.
  19. twinsnorth49
    True, lot of old guys who would be better deadline pickups if you needed a specialist.
  20. twinsnorth49
    Yeah, the ice definitely got tilted in the last 10 minutes there.
  21. twinsnorth49
    I think you should have just left it right there, then you would have made sense.
  22. twinsnorth49
    Excellent win, wasn't looking forward to extensive drywall repair in the event of a loss.
  23. twinsnorth49
    ???
  24. twinsnorth49
    He can stay
  25. twinsnorth49
    Yeah, I've been there, just a busy place that's all.
