Next year

I like all of your moves, only variations i believe are Sturm will get a little more like $1.75mil for 3yrs, Goligoski will get $2mil flat like he agreed with BG when he signed here. The big move i believe he will trade Talbot to free up about 2.5mil and get about $6mil in cap space flexibility to sign a couple more entry level contracts like Wallstedt & McBain. Thatll leave him about 2.5-3mil for free agent signings and leave about 1-1.5mil in cap space going into next year. Dumba could get a 1st for sure from Seattle i believe....or could be packaged to Vancouver for Horvat or MIller too. But i believe all will be done in the offseason and he will ride this group barring any devastating injuries for a playoff run and see where we are at.

That was only a rumor and it was a long time ago. Given the season he’s having and the fact that it’s almost February, I think we can stop assuming that the $2M is a set it stone figure.

I think Billy G may ride with Talbot for 1 more year, and I think if I’m correct about JW’s ELC sliding next year then I think we go that route 10/10 with him

What do you think goose gets next year?

I think if he comes back it will be 2.3-2.5. He could get more elsewhere, but may just prefer to stick in MN for family/personal reasons. Im just not entirely convinced we’ll even bring him back at this point. The dollars are tight. With Merrill’s extension and now Greeners, some ppl are gonna have to walk.
