Eric Vegoe Interview | Who's Minnesota's #1 goalie? | Sam Rinzel 4 Hobey? | Gopher Puck Live Podcast
I pray we dont move rossi. Why give up a guy youve grown and whose gonna be a consitent center for you for years. Especially if they give him up for a guy like malkin or an aging vet on the down hill of his career
Do we really forget that BG draftet 23 by himself. Thats such an made up story, thats crazy. He will get an extension soon.
We’d love it if you ended up being right
By the end of the season the Minnesota Wild will have there 1C and 2C locked up longterm on teamfriendly contracts. Thats my opinion on this.
If they trade Rossi, we should riot
Just let us know when/where
We don't need another Zucker trade. Looked good at first. Total clunker in reality. Lambos looks like a bust. Is Addison even in the league? Bonino. Bonino.
Give Lambos a little more time. But fair rebuttal.
Rossi is my man and CV love seeing him at the Wilds, if possible forever. However, Wild will be fine with or without him in the long run. For this season they should keep him; Rossi is sort of the grease in the Wild machinery, the secondary playmaker to KK.
We vote “forever” 🍻
Z, go to Matt's, get a beer and a Juicy Lucy.
Nice
Why oh why oh why does Guerin want to trade Rossi? Malkin would be a HORRIBLE addition to this team. He's a THIRTY EIGHT years old and is a cry-baby/dirty/lousy attitude player who would absolutely poison this locker room. What a terrible, TERRIBLE idea, terrible. The idea that this would be a one-for-one trade is beyond laughably absurd. Malkin isn't worth Hunter Haight, let alone a top 2 C, scrappy, defensively responsible, net-front, scoring/passing center who will be here for years. How unbelievably foolish that trade would be.
Couldn’t make it past “cry-baby” 😂
Malkin isn't worth any of our top prospects, he shows all the signs of just mailing in next season and retiring...he has nothing to motivate him to put in the work at 39 years old and his game will fall off a cliff...he has his cups, he has his milestones...
More cups and more milestones 👀
Brock Boeser
Would you rather give up assets for him in order to have him for the playoffs or just target him this summer as a UFA?
I'm lost as to how we're thinking it's possible Rossi will be dealt mid-season.
We're lost as to how Guerin isn't sold on keeping Rossi. So, we find ways to cope...
@thesotapod my best guess. Guerin was willing to trade Rossi for more proven impact NHLer that pleases Kaprizov as the ultimate hunt is retaining the Russian this off-season, and luckily for us Rossi is developing wonderfully right now. I'd be stunned if Rossi doesn't get a 3 year deal before April
if Billy G traded for Malkin using Rossi, his ass would immediately be on the first plane out of minnesota
show your work
@@thesotapod malkin is 38.
Most depressing episode ever. You guys need to do a warning before the one. Not sure WTF you a thinking but a F’in injury tier list WTF then you double down with a trading Rossi topic.
The injury tier list is more of a “rank our most irreplaceable players” but fair criticism on how we labeled it
For Crosby only
if you can conjure it, we'll support it
Not even crosby
Not for anyone in the middle 30s
Who would you target?
I agree, you cannot trade Rossi. The Wild finally draft a center and patiently wait while he gets healthy, he finally starts producing and they want to move on, not interested. I would pass on Malkin - too much tread on the tires. Ohgren is close ( we went to Iowa last weekend and he was by far the best player on the ice, both clubs). He just needs to play top 6 or 9 worse case scenario or leave him in Iowa. If you want to make a trade, there will only be so much room at the inn in St.Paul. Spacek, Lambos, Peart, all looked strong. Milne, Toporowski , Bankier all looked solid as well. Someone like Sammy Walker or a Haight potentially could be used as chips in a trade but stay away from the core right now. Sometimes the best trades are those not made, patience is a virtue. Wait until a few teams pull the plug on the season and the price will come down. Sweden keeping Ek and Brodin on their rosters tells me they think these guys are healthy come February. As for injures, tier 1, 97/32 tier 2, - 7, 12,46,47,5, tier 3,- 38,89, 22 etc.
Appreciate the thoroughness! Anyone besides Malkin that would entice you?
@ someone like Braden Point from Tampa if they start to slide.
If I can pick one prospect I want to buck the odds, Stramel is the pick. Big center, hopefully physical, dream would be Ryan Getzlaf in a mini-version as Getzlaf was a big time stud. He has faced some adversity already, maybe he’ll transition right before our eyes, fingers crossed! 🤞
You and me both, Brian!
Getting out of Wisconsin was the first step as he effectively lost 2 years of development with how much they misused him
Was hauling hay yesterday and randomly thought about Stramel and looked up his stats via EliteProspects and was really happy for the kid Gotta watch him vs the Gophers this week. Wishing him the best! (Hopefully Gophers win 3-2 and a Charlie goal or two)
Draft talk is a lot less fun when the Wild don't have a 1st. Maybe they'll get back in if/when they trade Rossi?
Maybe if it’s a summer deal right before the draft 🤔
Only argument I have with the 2nd tier...Middleton has been really good this year... BUT...Brodin plays against McDavid/MacKinnon...arguably the most underrated dman out there..
Brodin definitely deserves more praise
Malkin looks pretty washed… no thanks
If washed is 25 points in 30 games on a trash team then we should all aspire to be washed
He is on a downhill trend though… Rossi will only get better
Tell me you have had mad tree psychopathy ipa? Or rhinegeist truth ipa?
Imagine if instead of winning one goal games we were losing them. Or gus was as good as he was last year, wallstead jumps in and is having problems with moving up to NHL hockey. Imagine our record is closer to how it was last season at this time... Would we even be talking about trading anyone? I dont think so...no one expected the Wild to be as good as they are and NOW all we hear about is trades and picking up free agents... I hope we dont make any moves at all, not at the deadline nor in free agency next year...they seemed to have a plan when we were mid and imho being good shouldn't change that. I'm sure that im not alone in thinking that we are not expecting a cup this year, it'll be great if we can get out of the first round...dont fix what isnt broken and keep building the way you have been. Just cuz we'll have more cap space doesn't mean we should go gung-ho crazy... Real chance at a cup within 5 years, not 1 year.
What if someone like Martin Hanzal was available 👀
Cale makar hasnt been good defensively despite his numbers and definitely not the best player in the league
Who’s the best?
Joe looks like he's been on a 72 hour coke bender or just had a kid.... ha. I remember those days! Enjoy it. They grow up fast!
The parenting grind is no joke
Those stats show that Bogosian is a worse player than Faber and Spurgeon. That's never really been debatable. Also, your chart is a little goofed up. Merrill's CF% with Bogosian is higher than without, yet you have the higher number shaded red and lower number shaded green.
You know the Christian Wohlwend quote right?
KEEP HIM HONEST
Like, but I'm like, whatever, he like, can't like, skate that good and it's like, not that like, correctable at his like, age. Like, I feel he can like, still like, contribute? and I'm like, I feel like, the Wild like, got like, a good like, deal. Like, millinials like, talk like this to like, make themselves more agreeable to like, what they like, don't know what their like, talking about? and like, knowledge of like, non-knowledge....like, that's power.
Boom. Roasted.
So Boldy is projected to be on the best line USA hockey has ever had...where can I find whatever your having???
You're welcome to show your work
@thesotapod All time.. Super broad statement for all USA hockey.. overall accomplishment...80 gold medal..cone head line....Johnsons line..they beat a team Canadian Allstars (including Gretzky) and USA professional Allstars got trucked by. 96 Tkachuk Madono BG......beat Canada in Canada..Some of the World junior gold medal lines lately were incredible...just saying that these guys have a high bar to THE BEST LINE EVER IN USA HOCKEY.. There's one story about a Warroad line...Every US Olympic team went to Warroad in the Olympic year to play an exhibition game against the Lakers...1960 the team went up there and lost..They took a line off that Laker team (Christian bros...yea the old sticks) to the games and won the first ever gold for USA..
I hope Kirill will remain in Minnesota and the big bosses will do everything for this
If he doesn’t stay, it definitely won’t be due to any lack of effort from Leipold and Guerin. That’s 💯
Hopefully he spends next summer with Andy Ness. He improved Rossi's skating a lot.
This is the right way to look at it. We won’t judge him too critically til he gets a full offseason with our staff.
I bet KK will be offered a part ownership of the Wild.
Mario Lemieux did it 🤷♂️
$15M
15-16. М…
Pretty reasonable guess with the info we have now
Minnesota definitely doesn’t play exciting hockey, but it’s methodical and effective
It’s definitely not peak Pens, Bolts, Avs, etc. but it’s still a far cry from the Lemaire era where we consistently won 2-1 snoozers.
Hoping Kaprizov takes a page out of Crosby’s book.
Exactly buddy 👍😎
We aren’t counting on it, but you bet your ass we’re praying for it 🙏
The hardest hitting safety in the LEAGUE #42 Darren Sharper!
Mercenary
David Backes #42
#HornsUp 😈
And at some point we need to fire the majority of the coaching staff in Iowa. We have waaay too much talent down there with the results we’re seeing.
Do you think it’s coaching, roster construction, both?
@ Well considering we have the one of the top 5 prospect pools in the league, I’m leaning towards coaching. I mean even Wallstedt is playing horrible. And I’m a strong believer in Judd Bracket so it’s hard to think all of our top picks are busts.
McLean and Simon don't give me much faith. Coaching 100%
@MEBEMVP The players who make the Wild's prospect cool good are in college, the CHL or in Europe. After Wallstedt, it's like Lambos and O'Rourke who are 1st and 2nd round picks in Iowa. The best AHL season Iowa we ever had was with Mayhew and Anas about 5 years ago. Sturm, Duhaime and Dewar have been the best NHLers from that team? A 26 year old Seeler was their best D man?
@ This team should be better. Especially Defensively! I think Spacek and Masters could be good too, but we need a defensive coach who can teach. Bring back Willie Mitchell as a defense coach! Someone who played under Lemaire who can pass on that knowledge. And as much as I love Walz in the booth, he would make a great head coach.
The trade is Duhaime, Dewar, Hunt, a 1st and a 2nd. It’s a lot! Let’s hope Ness can fix his skating issues.
Dewar and Duhaime were for cap reasons and were getting traded regardless.
@ either way that’s what we traded for the picks we traded for Jiricek.
4th line/3rd pairing guys and mediocre futures for that upside is a swing we want Billy to take every time 🍻
The Wild are like the Vikings, the most Mediocre top teams in their leagues.
This is peak MN behavior and it’s hard to blame you haha
Isha, do you think you could pin the wild updates thing link that you sent in the chat so that we can share with friends. Thanks.
Flashscore
@@thesotapod I meant the thing Brett started for weekly updates regarding the wild.
They stopped being boring when they got Kaprizov
Kaprizov ≠ boring
Our 4th line is unimpressive, especially for tbe talent we have. I think some top liners like Johansson need to get benched and see if tge younger guys will develop. This has always been the MN 4th line issue. They suck!
Injuries definitely impact the complexion of the 4th line. In October that group was buzzing.
@thesotapod If the 4th line had a better zone entry scheme I think they would score a lot more. The successful 4th lines you see are consistent in their ability to get in the zone with dump and chase not being the main mode. Unless you have big brutes, a good scheme can give better high risk chances. But, I'm an armchair Coach...
The timing of this podcast is crazy after watching the Vancouver / Wild game the other night. That maybe a top five game all season. So many times the style of play is dictated by who you’re playing. I’ve learned that as we do a preseason draft - split our season tickets four ways, each getting 11 games with the preseason. I stay away from the Kings, Blues, Islanders as examples. As for style points, give me the wins all day every day 😁
We fell victim to recording 4 hours before that game 😂
The primary difference is goaltending. Gustafson has stepped up his game.
Amen brother
Boring is the new Winning!
🍻
Age 41 been running long distance since 7th grade and ran multiple marathons. You are NOT suppose to run EVERY single day. You need one rest day per week. Your body NEEDS rest and recoup. Same with people who lift weights by trying to get around a day off by alternating lower body with upper body. It doesn't work like that. You still use your upper body while doing lower body workouts. And vice versa.
These are the tips the people need 👆
Ohgren, Gaudreau, Merrill, and 1st for Tkachuck and retain necessary cap.
😂😂😂
If Bill Guerin received this call, it might be the fastest he’s ever worked to get a trade processed through the league office 🏃♂️💨
Most of the draft picks are no picks from dewar trade . Wild didn’t lose much
Worthwhile gamble, no doubt
Wow nice catch getting CJ!
He’s among the elite in the industry for a reason 👀
All I can say is 'Good Luck". Jiricek showed himself to be completely uncoachable during his stint in Columbus. They'd go over his mistakes on film and he'd go back out and make the same mistakes the next game. It should also be noted he failed with two administrations (Kekelainen/Vincent, and Waddell/Evason) who both saw him the same way. Yes, the Wild gave up a lot of picks, but those are basically like scratch off lottery tickets. Maybe they'll pan out, maybe they won't. In ten years we'll probably look back on this trade as a "meh" kind of trade. Six players in the first round of the 2022 draft have already been traded. Usually the first overall pick in every draft is well known ahead of time. That wasn't the case in 2022, just ask Shane Wright.
Either the third time is the charm or Strike 3!
@@MrHockey1720-G even if he doesn't make it in Minnesota, there will be other teams who will give him a shot. Considering he was playing against men in the Czech league, his game should be more advanced than it is.
Kekalainen/Vincent drafted him and were then let go… Waddell and Evason had no loyalty to him since they didn’t draft him If anything he hasn’t failed with any administrations… 1/2 an administration at most. Plus Minnesota has a better NHL level skating coach than CBJ
picks we gave up are from dewar trade with Toronto.
Bro acting like columbus is a great organisation for players to take steps 😂😂😂 what a loser team
Jiricek coming to the Wild kind of feels like when Niederreiter was sent over by the Islanders as a 21 year old, former 5th overall pick.
Nice pull, Bill 🍻
We used to call Hynes the Lizard Man because he was so impassive when he coached the Devils. But I think this is the right mix of players for him to really help out, good to see the Wild succeed.
He’ll have to answer to the Lizard King now that he’s in MN 👀
