Seems at the high end. Last year was a bit better for Nino, but over the last four years he is just over a 20 goal and 40 pts per season guy.

I guess the Wild's expectation is he keeps putting up numbers as good or better than last year - 25 goals, 57 points.

I like it. He is only 24, and is still trending up. Power forwards often take a bit of time to develop.

For what he brings, 5.25 is 'fair' right now. The 5 year deal to me is the wild banking that he isn't done improving. I feel the same way.

I'm still not sure what Garth Snow was thinking trading Niederreiter for Clutterbuck.

Wild may need to do something. Granlund and foligno left to sign and Granlund will command close to 6. With approx 10 million left in space and having to fill out the roster, don't think the Wild have enough space to sign both players and field a 23 man roster. Maybe this is bergevins chance to take advantage of his cap space.

Not a good contract for Tre when negotiating with Backlund

From what I've seen, it is never safe to assume that Garth Snow is thinking at all.

Parise could probably be had for a song.

We'll be saying the same thing in 3 years if Flames fans continue to try and run Sam Bennett out of town

Flames fans have been trying to run Matt Stajan out of town for seven years. Trying isn't doing.

I dont think anyone is trying to run Bennett out of town.

Clutterbuck for Nino was a head scratcher when it happened and still is to this day.

Bennett for Duchene - along with other parts on either side is much less of a head scratcher.

With this deal, I wonder when Dim Jim gives Baertschi 5x5 as he was on the same line as Nino in Junior.

Only thing is he has a nmc. And he's a minny kid so can't see him moving on. Was thinking maybe Galchenyuk for Granlund. Montreal gets their C (I know granlund player w this year but is natural C) and minny gets F with upside at manageable cap hit.

Bennett is valued around the league, unlike Stajan. We just heard about Bob Murray in Anaheim who was raving about the kid and made offers to Treliving in the beginning of the summer.

Some posters on CP, and if you didn't know, posters help decide what Treliving does.

Some teams are spending too much money on the middle of their roster IMO.

Classic rush a kid to the NHL before he's ready and then trade him because he disappointed because you rushed him.
