Backwoodsbob Verified Member Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Quote Milan Lucic is available for the first time in seven years, when the Edmonton Oilers gave him a seven-year, $42 million deal. Must be a typo which had me confused. He's been a Calgary Flame a far as I can remember which happens to be fairly short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I don't mind sitting out the free agent market, at least this year. However, could we get something useful on the trade market? We don't get that option either, unless we get value. Looking at Capfriendly without going into much detail, it looks like under 1/2 the league will be dealing with the free agents. The others look like they will be struggling to sign their own. It's not a very good free agent market for the teams, but equally so, this is a stinky year to be a free agent too. I see a lot of 1 year deals coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNCountryLife Verified Member Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 9 forwards signed. Duhaime and Shaw will make 11. Need 2 more. 5 defenseman signed. Faber will make 6. Need 1 more. 1 Goalie signed. Need 1 more. So we have 4 positions to fill. Dumba and Gus are probably too expensive to sign. If we decide to go completely towards youth from IA. Who is the most likely of candidates to play up? My bet is Forwards Beckman and Walker. I have no idea who will slot in at D or goalie.

Will D. Ness Verified Member Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 My bet is we sign Gus and go with youth. (Rossi, Duhaime, Shaw, Sammy... maybe Addison) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protec Verified Member Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Personally I think Addison has increased his value from the 2nd Round pick he was for Pittsburgh. His offense and special teams talent is nice. Potentially enough to interest a team who will overlook his defensive issues. If the Wild trade him it's one less RFA to sign and with Faber, it's possible Addison isn't a long-term fit. Dumba had defensive lapses early after being drafted but also showed signs we've not seen from Addison. I wonder if the Wild see Addison in the big picture as part of the future. My gut says no after his benching but he did get good NHL games this year so I don't see his progression as poor by any means. Addison is an asset to the Wild that might be easiest NOT to miss if Dumba stays. With Spurgeon and Faber will Addison be a 3rd pairing guy who plays the PP? Perhaps, but I would think the Wild might be able to get back a 2nd for Addison which would be great to help load up on centers if Addison could bring a 2023 2nd? I have a hard time envisioning a time when we say, "Dang, shoulda kept Addison." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I'm looking at Addison to help us move up in this draft, and I'd have to say a team like AZ should maybe take a shot at him. He is ready for NHL minutes, and they've got some scoring punch. Addison fits into their window of players around the same age. Perhaps a package around Addison brings us that 2nd 1st rounder? Keep in mind, if so, we're looking at seeing that asset delivered in 2-3 seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Is there any scenario where the Wild could make a blockbuster deal with AZ and come away with Logan Cooley? The only thing I can come up with are via nefarious means! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dango Verified Member Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I wouldnt mind if we could get a Bergeron 38 , for 2 years . Wouldnt be a huge investment and being 38 he could share time . Id like to get another C option with expeirience . Of ccourse it depends if another hard run with the Bs is his preference etc . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue I see is I think Cooley is fairly small though doesn't really play small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoosesAreLooses Verified Member Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Let's stand pat this offseason. good chance to see what some of the borderline guys are made of and see if they fit us moving forward. Sign Gus Bus, Shaw and Duhey and let the rest walk. Addison clearly has fallen out of favor with our coaches so he will be gone. No need to resign Reaves, Sundquist or Steel and we don't have room in the salary for Nyquist, Dumba or Klingberg. Walker, Beckman and Rossi all get a shot at the big show and all we really need to pick up is maybe a single 3rd pairing defenseman. Maybe we try a rotation of the Iowa guys and see if someone is ready. I agree that this cap crunch might be a blessing in disguise, it allows us to see who will bear fruit in the prospect pool while tempering expectations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
