There’s two sides to all these things. I know Duhaime is replaceable. I advocate for the team improving upon what he brings on the ice.
But he’s also just an outstanding guy. Super nice to my son and his friend. So many people on this team are so damned likeable.
I’ll miss him, while looking forward to what is next as well.

A deal that needed to happen. Hoping the best for Duhaime as it sounded like he was a solid teammate.

Why the fuck are we trading to a division rival

Return is a 2026 3rd round pick from Colorado

Some Wild fans need to take their expectations and lower them down several pegs. No, we were not going to get a 1st round pick for a 4th line player with 8 points in 60 games. This is a good return and the sky is not falling.

I would have liked to see a second round pick as it’s likely that it will be a late round pick, but whatever.

Guerin has no leverage and everyone knows it

This is fair value, I guess.

I feel like a 3rd, even a few years down the line is a pretty good return for a guy whose biggest skill is effort?
I like the guy, but take what you can get and prepare for the future at this point. Is there even money next year to re-sign him?

I’m not the best armchair GM but I think a 3rd rounder for a guy who’s contract is up and hasn’t scored a goal since November is a good trade for the wild

sucks to see him go, but he wouldn’t have gotten signed over the summer anyway. So we got something in exchange and hopefully he gets some good opportunities from it.

Good luck. They need a touch of sandpaper there

Hopefully he doesn’t take out one of our guys when they play this week

Fair trade. Good decision IMO. Duhaime just isn’t that good, would have asked for a raise being a UFA after this season.

Sad, but at least a Cup is not out of his reach now

Return better be 3rd round pick minimum.
Trading Duhaime because we can’t trade anyone else and need room for Marat and the other young guys lmao. Great extensions Billy.
Avs. Dang. I really wanted to get on the bandwagon wherever he ended up. Hope it’s a rental and he signs somewhere else come summer.
Dewy2 becomes Dewy1
To the Avs apparently who only have their 1st and 4th+ this year. So it’s either a 2024 4th or maybe a 2025 3rd?
