IMO Addison is not worth a first. I also hope Rossi plays in the NHL next year.

Apart from that, the signings and the Goligoski trade make sense

I hope Rossi is in the mix too, just didn't want to put too many eggs in that basket at this point.

John Klingberg will have tons of suitors, Zero chance he signs that low ball offer.

Yea, it's a lowball. Maybe if he got more term he'd be willing to come down on AAV, but then it's probably a no-go for Guerin. Based on how he's done with the Wild since they got him, I'm selfishly hoping they find a way to keep him. Perfect PP QB and partner for Brodin.

Doesn’t Goligoski have a NMC? If so I don’t see him accepting a trade to Buffalo.
