Description

There seems to be quite a divide here when it comes to the value of taking on the bad contracts from contending teams. I'm interested in hearing from fans of the teams dumping contracts for cap space and other Wings fans as well. What they consider fair and realistic sweeteners for taking these contracts on. I'll list a few that come to mind and maybe some folks can fill in the blanks with what they consider fair compensation.

With the understanding that he will be bought out, making him a free agent.

STL

Turris, Kyle

Additional Details:

Understanding that Turris has value as a player, but has a burdensome contract given $$ and term. I believe buying him out would cost Nashville $2 million a year for the next eight years. Getting that contract off their books, even retaining $1 million - $2 million over half that time would seem to have quite a bit of allure.

Higher premium than last year..

Cap is flat this year, but will also likely be flat for 2021-22 as well. So if Marleau, Backes took a 1st to move...I think we should anticipate some more of those.

Alzner and Russell won’t take that much because there is some flexibility there.
Steen probably as a say in where he goes, if he goes...so may put STL in tough spot.
Eriksson probably costs 1st and more...if team eats whole thing. Ladd will probably cost prospect.
Turris, could see wide range.

Prolly a 3rd for Russell

He's one of those guys who are useful, but overpaid by about 3M. Has 1 year left and is only owed 1.5M real dollars, so probably a 3rd to get rid of his contract

baertchi probably doesnt cost much, one year on a meh cap hit isint super crazy. Theyd have to pony up some actual value however to dump guys like beagle and roussell though

Did you even look into what a buyout on russell would look like? He would definitely be better to keep.
