Description

Leaves plenty of cap room to add this year and sets the wild up to go through cap hell in a few years.

Free Agent Signings

Kaprizov, Kirill		4	$8,000,000

Trades

MIN

Eichel, Jack

BUF

Dumba, Matt
Fiala, Kevin [RFA Rights]
2021 3rd round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

If acquiring Eichel, the wild need to be able to afford him for the next 4 years. We trade away players that will net Buffalo what they are looking for. May be a first instead of a 3rd but I personally thing Eichel has some health questions and a first in addition to Fiala and Dumba is overpay

MIN

SEA

Rask, Victor

Additional Details:

Sending Rask to Seattle as Soucy is now protected with Dumba gone and Rask is probably best option for them left on available roster

This is the LEAST likely scenario...zero prospects and no first rounder? Just makes no sense at all for Buffalo

Cbj would just offer our 1st, Domi and texier and that's a better offer than this

You’ll get killed by BUF fans but I think this is probably one of the more realistic scenarios given Eichel health, flat cap and potentially what other teams are willing to offer. They could flip Dumba for a first or high prospect, flip Fiala for some really good futures and you would probably have to add another first. But I don’t think Boldy or Rossi would realistically be included.

These big time trades rarely net the return that most ppl expect them to. I anticipate BUF fans being fairly underwhelmed with the return they get for JE.

BUF will want futures not mid 20's players who will be old by the time they are ready to compete (haha).
