Thread: Sorry you are not a winner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caerii</b></div><div>Value of trades aside, you have to actually give the other team something they want more than what you're taking from them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caerii</b></div><div>Rossi&gt;Holtz
13+Gus&gt;=10 in this draft

And apart from the value, Holtz is not what the Wild would be looking for to move Rossi. They're getting a worse winger than the center they have, and Holtz doesn't have the size/aggression/physicality that the Wild need to move Rossi.

Rossi isn't available for the sake of getting rid of him. He's available if they can get a player who's as good (or better) with more size/physicality. Holtz is not that.</div></div>
This reads more like a homerism opinion than anything else, or having a unreasonably poor grasp of the talent Holtz possesses.
The pick swap with Gus included has been mocked fairly intensely on this board with very little pushback, as has Rossi for a similar level prospect.

Fine if you wanna keep your guys, but me thinking that Guerin would value some cap space gained, a better pick and a forward prospect profiling differently from Rossi in physical attributes is a perfectly plausible idea for me to run with.

Of course there might be a different trade for Wild involving this pieces with another team that would suit the Wild better.
This is a Devils AGM however, only so much I can do about that.

In any case, you have been heard. I don't have anything further to add here.

Perhaps the Devils could trade into the 2nd rd with some other team, and spare the Wild that cost.

As a base however, I don't see it being controversial thinking #13 + Gustavsson for #10 and Rossi for Holtz is nothing if not fair value given the latest messaging we have been hearing in regards to Rossi and Gus's somewhat down year.
Daws (or Schmid) would quite clearly be a value add to the Wild here as well given the rather poor depth in Minnesota's goalie pipeline behind Wallstedt.
