Description

Minnesota has a huge problem when it comes to their center depth, so this is what I’d do to fix it.

By signing Monahan, you get an expierenced 1C, who has 80 point potential. Resigning Fiala and Kaprizov is essential to Minnesota’s success, and Ian Cole was a nice fit last season. Goaltending was solid last year, so no changes are really necessary.

Calling this team a bonafide contender is a joke. Either miss playoffs or first round exit. You’re also over the cap

The only reason I’m over the cap is because I brought up someone by accident. Oops

U shouldn’t break up that Foligno/JEE/Greenway line.

It’s not that big of a deal here, you could rearrange the lines and they’ll be reunited

Sean Monahan barely has any value. Wild aren't interested anyway so it doesn't matter. Monahan's value is basically non existent

To add to what other people have already said, Boldy isn't a center. That's not where he's been playing, that's not where he's best, and most importantly, that's not where the team sees him playing (as they've publicly stated).

Yeah that’s not nearly enough for Jenner. He’s better than foligno and should cost as much.
