He's playing himself into a 7M+ contract.Extend him ASAP. We need to put a "DO NOT TRADE" sign around his neck.
Yes, I'm a Spurgeon homer.
If he thinks he's worth $7M+ then just trade him now.He's playing himself into a 7M+ contract.
I don't think he gets that, but if he was a FA this year I would think some team would throw a 7x5 deal at him.If he thinks he's worth $7M+ then just trade him now.
He's putting up borderline elite numbers this year. 17th in points, 4th in goals by a defenseman. 22 defenseman make more than $6,000,000. I definitely see him making at least $6,000,000.If he thinks he's worth $7M+ then just trade him now.
A lot can change, but in my mind the default would be to protect Suter, Dumba and Spurgeon and expose Brodin. I think trading either Brodin or Spurgeon should be on the table, but if we're just doing it to avoid expansion trouble we'd need expansion-exempt assets coming back. Trading either of those guys for futures and still having to lose a player doesn't seem likely to work in our favor. At some point we just have to take our medicine and that might well involve losing Brodin.Again, I want to know what the plan is for the ED. Are we keeping Spurgeon, Suter, and Dumba, and letting Brodin go, hoping to re-sign him as a UFA? Or trading Spurgeon for as much as we can get?
Personally, I would wait till next year to sign Spurgeon, if indeed we are going to. To bad Johannson looks so unlikely to be a top4 RHD anytime soon, but again, next year might make a lot things clearer. FJo can have a great summer, get promoted and start kicking ass in the SHL, and Spurgeon might get injured, or start looking less fantastic. Unlikely, but possible.
Spurgeon might well be our best player.
Neither of those teams will be able to offer big $$. Bet on it.If Spurgeon hits the open market, Toronto and Edmonton are going to throw as much as they can at him.
No, he isn't. It still isn't closeAt this point, Spurgeon is our best defensemen. If we're not "rebuilding" then we have no business of trading him rn.
I fear the return if Fenton trades anyone at this point.After that one for one trade with Granny, I fear the return if he moves Spurgie.
Why? The only bad trade was Nino.I fear the return if Fenton trades anyone at this point.
The Granlund trade as one for one? Horrible value return.Why? The only bad trade was Nino.

I thought you liked him, why do you want the Wild to force him to resign?Completely disagree with you. How many times did Spurgeon save Suter tonight?
If we don’t resign him I’m gonna lose it.
You can't honestly think that Spurgeon was better than Suter tonight? I get the Spurgeon circle jerk is in full effect right now, but you do understand that it was a Spurgeon turnover that gave the Avs the game winner?Completely disagree with you. How many times did Spurgeon save Suter tonight?
