Wild Chatter

Team: 2023-24 Minnesota Wild

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 22, 2023

Published: Feb. 22, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

+ After Russo's tweet - https://twitter.com/RussoHockey/status/1628455995826491394?s=20 - I felt this would need to be done to see what it could take not giving up a 1st, but lots of retention. VAN adds two solid roster players with Addy signing

+ Moving Dumba at 22/23 TDL has to be done due to asset management. Sabers are only 4 pts back with 5 games in hand, have a hold on the RD side and their prospects pipeline on D is lite due to their monsters already on the back end. Dumba can be extended and play a shutdown role with Dahlin for the next 4 years.

+ Rossi gets another year in AHL to marinate and balance cap. Takes over for Hartman year after.

+ Schenn doesn't have to resign, but he would be nice depth instead of Goose.

+ New "BEEF" line gets created with Beckman instead of Greenway to keep scoring balance through 3 lines. Better for MIN lineup.

+ Jensen comes back home to play in top 4 and adds a little offensive punch to the top 4, but is better defensively than Addy signing for $2-3Mish to offset retention with a solid D prospect ready to come in next year or year after.
+ Would've liked Nick Jensen, but he will cost more than the Wild can afford unless Boeser retention is 50% or more.
