Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Let me get this out of the way first, I am in no way, shape, or form, a Wild fan and I am not sure how they run their lines. If I have someone out of place, I apologize. Now, let’s get onto the ACGM.

After looking at their stats (adv included), I felt I have Greenway and Kunin reasonable contracts.

The Toffoli signing may be a bit off as I feel Vancouver will retain his services and it will cost a pretty penny to wrestle him from their grasps. I went with $5,500,000 because that seems to be a common number for him on here.

I’d say that Stalock was one of the main reasons Minnesota was competitive last year. He should play 50-60% of their games next year, splitting time with Dubnyk.

Didn’t resign Koivu because my guess is he hangs them up after this year. Didn’t resign Soucy because there is a need in the market for Defenseman and he will probably ask for a higher number than Minnesota is willing to pay.

Lol. I love how I always hear wild fans talking about Barzal, Cirelli, Point, and other top Centers when they have no assets to deal with and no center depth.

I'd say this is pretty good for an outsider.

A few things:

-Donato is much more of a wing
-Minnesota, while lacking RHF, should NOT be going after Toffoli. Instead, use that money to bring in a center whether it be through trade, offersheet or unrestricted free agency
- if moved, Foligno would get a better return

Cirelli is the only one I see anyone talk about anymore. Obviously there's the meaningless conversations about Point & Barzal but no one puts any weight behind those conversations. They're untouchable, Cirelli could actually be a possibility.

This is ACGM, aren't we allowed to dream?

I’ll give you that. Why not trade Kaprizov for a Center?

I’ll agree. But assets. What does the Wild have that Tampa would want,

In reality that's what it probably takes, but we'd rather "find" a way to keep Kaprizov and acquire a true 1C. But the reason we usually correct people on a Kaprizov trade is because the reality is he's probably locked in stay for next year. The Wild have been trying for years to get him here. I just don't see how 3 separate GMs have worked their asses off to get him here, only to trade him away before he even plays a game with us. I hope that makes sense?

I'll just start off by saying that if I were GM, I'd probably just offersheet him with something like 7.5M over 5 years

When it comes to assets, Minnesota could obviously try to offer some cap relief, certain roster players (most notably Matt Dumba) and certain prospects like Boldy, Beckman & Khovanov. Plus draft capital, of course.

You have it wrong. Foligno should be the "C" next year, Parise and Suter keep their "A" (although I'd like to see them go to Brodin and JEE/Kunin) because they've had them for years.

Centers are: Staal, JEE, Bjugstad (Kunin when Bjugstad gets hurt), Strum.
Wings: don;t bring in anymore, MN has a ton of them.
