I like it for Bry, by quite a bit tbh....not even sure how he managed to get a 1st as well.

Hackett

Well, looks good for Shook.

Gets the better G (and i expect MIN to get better), the better prospect.. and a 1st?


That's not the entire Wild system though

[Peter]

My reasoning for the deal
Josi is a very underrated Dman, I basically add an NHLer without subtracting any. He will be very good one day.
I believe Niemi > Backstrom, when you consider age:value.
Stalock is no chump either.

[shooker]

Niemi will also get more wins which is the only goalie stat that can be perdicted even close to accurately and is why I wouldn't add alot to get min system. Backstrom is all but done imo but I am going for somewhat of a rebuild so getting some better goalie futures was big for me and I unlike most, love MIN's drafting and outlook on moving forward. This is the first of quite a few youth moves for the Sharks, expect more shortly.

you're defnitely not alone, surprising if most disagree.

[Nick]

also like MIN moving forward, dunno how Shook got the first in there, given he got the better goalie.

[KapG]

Woulda thought Pete would be the team getting the 1st back in the deal.

What kind of black magic did you use on him Shook?

[Nick]

But I can see how the SJS TEAM could be viewed more valuable, + roster dman.

Maybe if he had the SJS goalie who may actually turn into a starter down the road....Tony owns him. Can't recall his name.


Nittymakki is trash .

[Tony]

Greiss ... I predict he'll be the starter by November

Niittymaki isn't even on the team anymore. They waived him and his cripple ass ... he played in the AHL for a bit. His contract expired and he'll most likely be in Europe.

That's the one! I think that was a KEY pickup for you last season.

Time to watch The Battle of Blackwater from last Sunday again . This time I have had a few drinks though lol (I am quite aware it's only noon on the East coast!)

[Nick]

it's only 9:00am on the west...
