Team: 2021-22 Minnesota Wild

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 8, 2021

Published: Mar. 8, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

In the event Barokov does not want to sign an extension with Florida, MN trades for him. Giving up a top 4 D, likely 1C replacement in rossi, a top 6W in either boldy or beckman and supplemental picks depending on whether it's boldy or beckman that would go.

1C-2C punch both of whom should be selke finalists this year and a wing for each that can score at a ppg pace in fiala and KK I think this would set up the wild to become contenders still within the suter/parise window, but would also set the team up to extend that window as their and zuccarello's contracts expire.

With an offseason move like this the wild do 7-3-1 expansion draft protect, zucc, parise, fiala, ek, foligno, greenway, barkov - brodin, suter, spurgeon - Kahkonnen. Leaving hartman/rask/soucy/talbot exposed. would expect seattle to take soucy

Next offseason:
resign barkov 7 yrs 8m
resign greenway 2 yr 4m (would lead to zuccarello contract expiring and with parise/suter coming off the books in another year, would set up the team to pay their RFA's such as addison and Boldy/Beckman who would be on 2 year bridge deals.
