Wild are saving cap money, dealing a player with injury issues that wasn't likely to be re-signed anyway, dealing a struggling 4th liner whose ceiling may or may not be higher than it is right now. You could argue we gave up on him too early which is valid. The pick is a 2026 SIXTH rounder so a not a loss there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy the poor boy Verified Member Posted Friday at 06:31 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:31 PM We needed another big guy for the playoffs. Now he can be like the rest in the past that can stand around and watch KK get crosschecked in the back over and over... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um...keep him away from here then. It could be he just doesn't want to sign there or to commit to a team prior to free agency. Also, with the cap going up, players are going to be looking for a lot more money. Sure, the lower-end players will stay about the same, but the mid-tier and elite players will both be getting more. I would not be surprised to see Nelson get offers in the $8M+ range from multiple teams. Players like Ehlers probably will end up getting $9-10M. Rantanen and Marner probably get $14-15M. If they want it and want one of the better free agents, they know teams will pay it. I know we're not used to it because the cap has been pretty stagnant for a while, but it's going to be the new reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necas comes to the central. Not as bad as having Rantanen to deal with but still could be a major headache. Rantanen comes back to central and Necas is still here. Bad! Carolina apparently has something against us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like our chances before but now....🫣 It does suck, and somehow, they were able to keep Johnston. It better work for them, because I really wonder what they are going to do this offseason. They will have about $15M in cap space to sign 8 players, with Benn, Johnston, and Duchene all needing new contracts. That does not include Granlund or Borque. And that is just the offense. How I hate the Stars and would make beating them even sweeter now, if that is our first-round matchup. Then maybe we get Duchene in free agency.

I am going to use it as ammunition with my wife. She wants to move to North Carolina, and I am opposed to it. I will use this and say we can't move because they hate Minnesotan's. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Ranty they will have about $6M to sign the rest of their team or 8 players. They must be getting rid of one or two higher priced players this offseason.

Schenn and Tanev to the Jets I'm going to go out on what I think is a pretty short limb and say that the WC representative in the SCF comes out of the Central... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
