Wrong Brock if rumors are to be believed. (Nelson)

Absolutely no to Boeser.  And no to Nelson if he wants over 4mm.  No to Rossi as well. Lots of trades need to happen.

He is a RH shot which would be nice and he's not all that old but I'm saying pass unless he gives one hell of a hometown deal and nothing more than a 5-6yr deal. He's a good player but I don't think the Wild should throw a lot of money at him.

Absolutely terrible idea. He has had ONE good year. ONE. Absolutely the most overrated player by MN hockey fans. And dreadful defensively.

While Boeser is a good fit for the Wild's lineup, a free-agency move for the forward would include a substantial price tag. Fortunately for Minnesota, they should have plenty of money to spend. According to Puckpedia, the Wild should have roughly $21 million to play with this offseason. 

That $21 mil is a little off. Looking at puckpedia, they are only showing 1 goalie. Adding Wallstedt would subtract $2.2 mil. Of the 6 returning defensemen, one of those is Buium. If we add in thecontracts of Jiricek, Ogren, Yurov and an extension of Rossi ($6 mil?) that will leave the Wild with around $7.5-$7.7 mil for free agancy.

The buyouts are still present though much reduced.
