Quality of Boldy is an unkown still, but I'd take Boldy on his ELC over Reinhart needing a new big contract.

Rask has played semi decent, may as well throw him on the top line with Skinner, Cozens and Byfield certainly arent there yet

Reinhart plays center now, the Wild would certainly be interested

Small sample at center and his cap doesn't work at all for MN.

The new cap hit would be hard to work out for the wild. But if you took back a shiny new parise..... 😏

I may be a broken record for always saying this, but to me, Byfield and kaliyev are the probable untouchables for the kings. The ceiling of byfield is too good and kaliyev may have the best shot outside the nhl. You can argue caufield doesn’t matter to me. Kings haven’t had a shooter like this in I don’t how long. Bombs away

Not if they want to have 18 skaters on the ice nighty.

$11m covers JEE ($5m) and Fiala ($6m). Kaprizov ate most of the rest of the available cap already.

MN might have $1m in cap before the expansion draft to fill in the 12th FWD spot; that's with Boldy and Addison on their ELCs taking 2 roster spots. They'll gain some cap, but also have another roster spot to fill.

Reinhart isn't a guy you make the cap space for on your roster. Even if they gained $8m somehow they'd be better off just signing Danault for the same money as Reinhart is going to get as a UFA, and keeping Boldy and their 1st.

I'd rather go for a Dumba-Rhino trade. Would never happen, but neither would this so...

What blackmail stuff do you have on Parise to get him to 1. waive his NTC for BUF and 2. not retire the moment he's out of MN and hit them with the recapture?

He'd be fighting Skinner and Okposo for the worst contract on the team award in BUF. Even in BUF he's a bottom-6 guy.
