And they're not likely to replace Zucc with a better winger at his cap hit, so might as well just stay put.

For real. Normally I'd expect the Wild to have to add something small, but given the cap difference maybe it's a 1 for 1 to give the Canes a year of ELC savings. Maybe.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs_trade_churner_50</b></div><div>I don't think this is the right package for Rossi. (Minnesota will want more)

Mesar is better off developing in our system. Keep Slafsquatch happy!

(Maybe a package of WPG 1st, CGY 1st, Justin Barron, Riley Kidney and Sean Farrell could do it) I really don't see the Wild moving Marco Rossi, a 2C with very good cost control, and 14m in dead cap do deal with.</div></div>

The thing is they're not looking for a package to begin with. They're looking for a hockey trade for a player with more size, speed, and/or skill to upgrade their roster with. That seems kinda silly to hope to find it, unless you're finding a team up with even less cap than Minnesota that needs to move someone to clear cap. No idea their actual situation but someone on reddit suggested Tampa with Cirelli if they need to clear cap for Stamkos and Hedman's upcoming extension as being an example.

They're not going to move him for a late round pick and a bunch of random players. If they don't find what they like, they'll keep Rossi.

Probably the most reasonable Wild/Leafs trade given both team’s needs and situation, though it sounds like Guerin is looking for a short term veteran.

Thread: Kings retool

Wild pass. They’re in the market for a top 6 LW, their defense is pretty well set for next year. They’ll probably pick up a depth dman they can stash in Iowa and that’s about it.

I wouldn't even do that trade as the Wild without the 1st, go figure adding a 1st on top.

I think that trade going through depends on someone being available at 10 that the Wild don't think will make it to 13 on draft day. I think otherwise, you just keep your 1st and try to move Gus for at least a 2nd either to NJ or somewhere else.

Wild are good on bottom 6 forwards and won't be interested in retaining salary for 2 years. Easy no.

Wild need a top 6 LW, not a dman. They'll keep their 1st and 2nd round picks.

Thread: Post Dead Cap 2025-2026 - Marner

<a href="/users/MNBassman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@MNBassman</a>, as Zuccarello's #1 fan I figured maybe you'd know this. I know CF lists Zuccarello as being a LW, but has he actually spent any time at LW on the Wild? It seems like I always see him at RW. That having been said...

Kaprizov/JEEK/Marner
SOMEONE/Yurov/Boldy
Ohgren/Khus/Zuccarello
Foligno/Gaudreau/Hartman

Something like that. It's an expensive 4th line, but one that would probably be a pain to play against. Skip signing Clutterbuck and find a $4m LW to play with Yurov and Boldy, which obviously relies on Yurov being legit at center.

On defense, if Spurgeon can't handle 2nd pairing minutes you better hope it's because he's on LTIR.

I really like the idea of sending Gus to NJ to swap 1st round picks if there's someone at pick #10 the Wild really like. Value is probably about right for what picks typically go for in trade-up situations like that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Spencer9321</b></div><div>Would you trade marner for boldy straight up? I don't see the wild's use for Gustavsonn, they signed fleury's extension and wallstead is ready to be in the nhl. So i'd say Gustavsonn and a second for liligjren and a third is pretty close in value. With more ice time and a different system lilijgren could be a potential breakout canidate to be a true top 4 dman.</div></div>

No. Boldy is signed long-term to a deal that's looking better and better as he gets more experience. Marner is a UFA in a year and his extension will certainly look close to what he's making now, that seems like poor cap management for a team that will need to figure out Faber's extension as well as Kaprizov's soon enough.

CapFriendly logic 101: a team solves their cap problem by trading away their best value contract. Makes perfect sense!

They'd be insane to add a 1st. Toronto gets cap space, adds to their defense, and would be navigating Marner's NMC which would limit their potential trade partners. 1 for 1 is more than realistic in that scenario.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EccE</b></div><div>Kaprizov is not available. He is our entire franchise.</div></div>

The only way he’ll be traded is if he’s unwilling to sign an extension next summer and Guerin at least convinces him to waive his NMC at the deadline to go to a contender he’s willing to go to. Sadly that would limit the return, but Guerin might as well tender his resignation immediately after accepting any Kaprizov trade this summer that doesn’t involve McDavid coming back.
