Description

Maybe this is the minimalist/preservation version. In this one Guerin approaches the offseason attempting to preserve as much as possible. Sort of shows the cap hell they are in that it would require them to dump a player that just broke the franchise season assists record. And Dumba would be no surprise, but think two 2s is a pretty modest trade value. They keep the GREEF line for another year. They would keep Fiala and move into the future with 97 & 22 as the core, and then hope that Boldy and Rossi complement that topline scoring. And they keep that goalie tandem imagining that Fleury buys in and wants to finish his career in a Christmas sweater.

I really don't know if the teams or pick compensation is credible...but that isn't really the point, this was an attempted to just crush players into the cap without major trades/changes.

Yep, I'm sure the Sabres are on M NTCs Zuccarello's trade list

Zuccarello is Kaprizov's best friend so Minnesota can't trade him , I've been told many times on this site

Zuccarello getting traded would piss off kaprizov as even Russo has mentioned. He also has an nmc.

Can’t see Zuccarello being traded, and he’s having such a good season this year his value is higher than that

Probably right that zuccarello won't be traded...but something has to give and if you make decent money and/or you're on the wrong side of 30 you find yourself an easy target to get traded. The buyouts are going to rip out a chunk of what is a really fun team to watch. With each passing game losing Fiala seems a non starter. Dumba alone leaving won't be enough cap room.
