Kirk DayHOST
On October 6th, the Wild at Sabres.
Kirk DayHOST
Michael Russo lists the scouts in the building and the Red Wings' Chris Draper is one of them.
Kirk DayHOST
Urof scored that night too on the power play in a 3-2 overtime loss.
Kirk DayHOST
That is one of the three goals the hockey news is counting.
Max BultmanHOST
I
Marc LazarusHOST
can't leave Mike Russo alone.
Marc LazarusHOST
Can't you just give him one week off?
Max BultmanHOST
Who says no to Quinn Hughes for
Jake RadonisPANELIST
But the reason I wanted to bring up Quinn Hughes is after the wild game on Thursday where Schaefer obviously put on a show and Quinn really got to see this young defenseman who probably reminds him of himself a little bit...
Jake RadonisPANELIST
He gave an awesome quote that he gave to Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Jake RadonisPANELIST
So I'm going to read it here.
Jake RadonisPANELIST
So Quinn Hughes on Matthew Schaefer.
Colin KelleyHOST
I will not sear it out of my mind.
Colin KelleyHOST
Michael Russo, the athletic Minnesota Wild writer, last week on Jeff Merrick, one of the predominant insiders, his show The Sheet, talking about Quinn Hughes.
Colin KelleyHOST
There was some truth.
Colin KelleyHOST
There were some rumors.
Joe RexrodeHOST
actually in town, which would give you the advantage.
Robby StanleyHOST
That does remind me of when Ryan Suter ended up signing with Minnesota, and there was some question about where he was going to end up, and Michael Russo, who covered the Wild, was legitimately in the bushes at the airport trying to figure out.
Robby StanleyHOST
Seriously? Yep.
Robby StanleyHOST
God, that actually doesn't surprise me.
Kirk DayHOST
And he is arguably the best defenseman in the NHL.
Kirk DayHOST
money is not the problem the cap is built for this type of thing to happen the only thing left is how long and this is the part that changed because the minnesota wild most they can offer is now seven years and it used to be eight only a couple of weeks ago hughes didn't sign before that deadline so that eighth year is gone owner craig leopold said in july the wild want to do as long as they can but hughes will probably want a little bit shorter Joe Smith has reported a three-year deal is the likely one, and Michael Russo also says that three years makes the most sense to line up with his brother Jack's devil's deal.
Kirk DayHOST
Here's the thing about seven years.
Kirk DayHOST
At seven years, Hughes is locked in through the end of the decade and then summoned.
ChrisHOST
that's basically it you didn't don't forget that's basically it you didn't don't forget that's basically it you didn't don't forget don't forget about signing legendary um don't forget about signing legendary um don't
TimHOST
forget about signing legendary um shift changer uh shabanov who's shift changer uh shabanov who's shift changer uh shabanov who's michael russo is pumping up how well he michael russo is pumping up how well he michael russo is pumping up how well he changes
ChrisHOST
Yeah.
ChrisHOST
That's over the boards quickly.
Kirk DayHOST
That's a team with room to take salary and no patience for prospects.
Kirk DayHOST
And here's what the Wilds have reportedly put on the table, per Michael Russo.
Kirk DayHOST
It's been Yurov or Strammel, a veteran which we've seen perhaps be Ryan Hartman, and multiple firsts.
Kirk DayHOST
Boldy, Erikssonek, and Brodine we know are not involved in any conversations.
Kirk DayHOST
So the same team may be bidding on Dylan Larkin today, and Quinn Hughes in the summer, and that makes this little more than just a regular trade.
Kirk DayHOST
So what is Minnesota actually offering? Michael Russo reported on Daily Faceoff yesterday, his answer was short, the offer is the offer.
Kirk DayHOST
A futures-based offer, built around a good young player, likely Danil Yurov or Charlie Strammel, a veteran on a contract which we've seen presumably be Ryan Hartman, and multiple first-round picks.
Kirk DayHOST
What we can confirm are not in it, Matt Boley, Joel Erikssonek, Jonas Brodine, and your usuals.
Kirk DayHOST
Which means for Larkin to come to Minnesota, real salary has to go back to Detroit.
Kirk DayHOST
Picks can't do that.
Kirk DayHOST
And in terms of the salary that would do it, the obvious answer is Matt Boves, but I think we've all understood, plus the fact that Michael Russo was asked about it directly, the answer is a flat no, there is zero chance.
Kirk DayHOST
We're pretty much thinking about this like a car that you can pay for but can't park.
Jonny LazarusHOST
Yeah.
Jonny LazarusHOST
And we do have that quote from Michael Russo here that I'll read it quickly.
Jonny LazarusHOST
So Quinn Hughes on Matthew Schaefer.
Jonny LazarusHOST
He's really impressive.
