Centers

Team: 2021-22 Minnesota Wild

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 15, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I figure this gives us more of what the team needs. A stop gap center who can score in hertl and a center with speed for fiala and boldy. This keeps the development of rossi in mind, he gets a year to get into shape and up to speed, he gets his nhl experience without being pushed into a top 6 role or anything and potentially look into buying out parise after the season.

Seattle protection would be 7-3-1 with the hertl deal likely happening after expansion draft. Also this leaves cap space for the following offseasons new deals for sturm and kahkonnen. Hertl might be an option depending on dollars and how he meshes.

I originally had the hertl deal as greenway and a 2nd, b it upped it to a 1st and added rask. The value might be a bit off with the retention, but they are rebuilding and i assume both a young top 6 wing and a 1st would suit their long term needs better. With rask and retention it eats up another 2m or so in cap space. Which is why I upped from a 2nd to a 1st.
