    This is what I was just about to bring up. I think MIN is expecting Staal to walk to a better contender in the offseason (WPG? - he's from Thunder Bay). Coming up in the system they seem to have mostly wings and D as well, so I don't mind the move for them with that in mind.
    I still agree Nino is the better player, but MIN filled a position of need, and shed cap in doing so. There have been worse one-for-one trades.

    It's debatable whether or not Rask actually provides security at C

    Man... no one thinks Rask can take off even remotely like Lindholm did in Cgy? I agree that Carolina gets the better end of the deal - especially with getting a 2-way forward. Should also open a door for Necas to come up, maybe sooner rather than later from the AHL.

    But end of last year, summer - Rask was expected to finally break out 55+. Maybe not this year... but just a fresh start. Staal a UFA, Koivu 1 year left - definitely fills a soon to be gap for them.

    Gut feeling, I'll be targeting Rask in 19/20 drafts & re-drafts.

    Coyle and Eriksson Ek are both more than capable of playing down the middle. I also think Kunin and Greenway could do it if given the chance.

    But Nino wasn't.

    This was just security blanket-ing themselves. This is having 4 guys that might be able to play center instead of 3 guys that might be able to play center. That's how I see it.

    Yeah but 4th line centers are pretty easy to find elsewhere, not sure they had to sacrifice Nino for one.

    To me this one is very simple. Two teams exchanged underachievers (a common thing in the NHL these days - copycat league) and the Wild acquiring Aberg justified moving Nino's scoring. This is short-term gambling on everyone's part, hoping for a better result with the new pieces.

    Aberg has been waived by 2 teams not currently in a playoff spot already this year. I don't think the Wild should be counting on him for anything. The Wild have been dressing 7 or 8 natural centers for most games so I don't think they needed another one.

    Staal
    Koivu
    Granlund
    Coyle
    Eriksson Ek
    Fehr
    Hendricks
    Kunin
