My favorite. It's Judd's Hockey Show.
and welcome into judd's hockey show we are two days out from the nhl trade deadline it's getting good plenty of uh rumors floating around of course it's the wednesday show so it's judd it's jesse pierce bardown beauties if you are not listening to that podcast you should be part of the score north family and also jesse uh is the reporter for nhl.com covering the wild on a daily basis and aj frederickson is always co-hosting um and let's get to it so we We didn't do an emergency pot off of this last night because it didn't really rise to that, Jess. And we said, well, if we do an emergency pot, we're sort of going to blow our opinions right now because it's not a big enough trade to like double back on.
So we said, let's wait till Jesse joins us. Let's throw it around the room and talk about the Wilds. One deal. I'm sure they're done now. I'm sure they're done. They're one deal. They trade for six foot six, 232 pound. Good guy. Tough guy. Great in the room, I'm sure. Center and maybe a winger, but more of a center. Michael McCarron from Nashville. They give up a 2028 second round pick. What do we think about this trade, Jesse Pierce?
What? Huh? Why? All of those words were uttered by me yesterday.
You were very positive with Garen last night in the press conference.
I'm very positive. I like to, you know, I schmooze. I try to make sure he doesn't hate me all the time.
You should have been like, what's this? That was a master play by him because he showed up early and was schmoozing us so that there was no hard questions.
I had to ask him about Italy. I had to ask him about the food and then tell him how much he hated the cafeteria food. I got him happy.
The best part of the press conference was before the press conference.
Every time, every single time. It's a depth center. Like the Minnesota wild go and get a center. Great. But he's not a top six. He's not somebody that's going to ever change the, the first round, you know, possibilities for the minnesota wild he's not a guy that's going to be an impact player big body can win face-offs but again not in those top six situations so it doesn't really matter he can go down there and he can play some pk minutes um my first instinct is with his size he's going to have some of that physical presence he's obviously fought many minnesota wild players in the past before including jake middleton argus felino my first instinct is Marcus Foligno's injury is more severe than they're letting us believe.
They did say week to week, so it's not necessarily that they've been minimizing it. But John Hines was very flippant when asked if it was a season-ending thing. It was at first no, and then it was, well, we're still getting things evaluated. So it makes me believe that Foligno. probably out much more seriously than we think. I don't like it. I don't get it. Age, I got to defer to you because you obviously know all about the value of that second round pick in 2028. Must be a heck of a draft class because I saw a bunch of 2028s go last night as well in different trades. I think Cole Smith was also for 2028.
