The problem with paying 97 all that money is it leaves scraps for the rest.  I am not saying I am opposed to it, but it's a big problem.  Some good things as mentioned are the ELC's for the young guys, including Ohgren.  Spurgeon comes off the books after next season and I am guessing if he's healthy we'll be able to get him back as a 6th or 7th D for lots cheaper.  The Christmas in July comment by the owner was stupid when there was no chance of that happening!  BG is being very smart saving cap space if we have issues during the season like poor goaltender play or injuries.

Now we get to see what the rest of the “plan” looks like. What I’d like to see is management/coaches giving the younger players coming in time to develop. If things develop nicely bring in the best player available at the appropriate trade deadline. The key is getting the right fit for the team at the right time. Jack E, Mathew T, this year a very affordable Brad M. Dallas tried with M Rant but their team kinda fizzled. Now that the LTIR shenanigans have been canceled the Wild should have a better chance at getting a big add. I think the Wild are showing signs of positioning themselves in this regard.

 I think BG is going to cross the Rubicon in March 2026.  

I'm kinda hoping for Panarin.
