Buffalo won't get both Rossi and Boldy for Eichel. If we acquire him, we would be in an extremely tight situation cap-wise. That would mean playing a lot of players on their ELC-deals. Rossi and Boldy are on their ELCs... Unless you retain on Eichel you won't get both.

Retain/take a cap dump and tell the Wild whether or not he can play with his neck injury

Not giving away a 2nd to get rid of Holtby. Plus he has a 4 team NTC clause so he wouldn't even want to go to Buffalo.

Who is a cap dump that Buffalo could take on that would help Min?

First Minnesota needs to see his medical files that Buffalo gm is hiding. Minnesota currently doesn't have a bad contract. Rask is free agent after the year. Zuccarello while bad contract was amazing, and isn't getting traded to make kaprizov even more mad.

If they added rask to that deal would it be more palatable for min?

Rask would def need to be included, but that doesn’t change things enough for us to include Rossi and Boldy. MIN would have no choice but to bow out if that’s the ask. We need one of those 2 ELCs.

Separately, Fiala is worth more than just a 1st. So you’re over the asking price here to begin with. 4 1sts is what Adams wants, and maybe he holds firm, but I can tell you there’s no way we pay MORE than that. If Fiala is included, he counts as a 1st +.

The thing is Rask deal end after this year, and wild has close to, if not 30 mil in cap this summer with Rask on 1year 5mil contract

2-3 million retention would do wonders but I'm sure Adams won't do that

What if Min adds Rask and Buffalo adds an ELC? If so, one position does Min need the elc on?

C position. Because apparently there's no chance dumba is being moved now. Apparently the event of the last year in Minnesota with dumba's involvement in the community, and resurgence in play has led to gm if wild no longer having any interest in moving him. On kfan in Minnesota yesterday, this was talked about. I guess you can say d, but here's wild dcore by Wednesday

Rask is a bad contract for one year only. Taking him does not help us two years down the line. What I meant with ELC-players were impact-players, not some AHL-tweeners. Just take Rossi out of the deal.

Plus Fiala and a First, the only player they missed on this deal was Kaprizov
