Next year

I'm just happy Geertsen's gone.
Great AGM.

Wood would almost certainly walk if he's only offered a 1x1 contract. Bo will probably get something like 1.25x2. But I like the general plan.

Might as well keep Tatar too, if we're going to be $15m under the cap...

Otherwise, kinda steep contract on Fiala.
Very hard to justify him being 1mill above Bratt.
7m AAV for both should be fine.
Tradewise that should be fair value though for Fiala.
Wood probably gets something closer to his QO.

Can't say I've seen a lot of Friedman, but given his dirt cheap extension with Pens and decent possession metrics I'd have a hard time seeing Pittsburgh moving him for Kuokkanen.
One of Walsh or Bahl should be ready for playing third pair with Smith by next season anyways.

I don't think you'd have to trade both Johnsson and Tatar, either of them would be great playing on a 3rd line with Shango and Boqvist.
I do think it's a good shout replacing them with Zetterlund tho, he looks ready to push for a permanent job in the NHL, finally.

Gotta think Minnesota gets better offers than that for Fiala, and if they don’t, I’d assume they end up keeping him.

dammit I forgot to re-sign him. will delete this one and repost
