Guerin’s Toughest Chip - Is Trocheck Worth The Cost?

Bill Guerin is staring at the kind of trade-deadline math that makes GMs lose sleep and agents get bold. If Minnesota wants Vincent Trocheck, the Wild may have to move a player they would rather keep, and that is where the whole negotiation starts to get expensive. The leverage in these talks never sits in one place for long, and the asking price can climb fast when the other side knows you are motivated. This is the sort of deal where one wrong concession can change the rest of the summer.
