Quoting: Carson
You aren't a wild fan, and all you do is try to bail wild fans. How about you stop
ok ill make this easy. the wild currently have 44.7 mil salary in 23-24. And the 14.73 buyout dead cap. That is 59.4 mil. That leaves about 23 mil to sign: Fiala, Boldy, Jost, Gaudreau, Dumba, Middleton and two goalies. Please tell me how you will fit that.
Fiala about 8
Boldy 5-7 and could be more
Jost 2-3
That leaves about 5 mil. And this is half of your roster. So you need about 7-8 more forwards. Lets say they all make 950k (which wont happen but to be nice to you). Thats 6.65 mil.
Then defense. You need about 3 more. Lets be nice and say theyre only one mil. Thats now 3 mil
We have no goalies as of now btw
That is:
28,050,000 is what is already signed for then+
8,000,000 for Fiala
6,000,000 for Boldy.
2,500,000 for Jost
6,650,000 for rest of offense
That is 51200000 for the offense
Defense:
16,775,000 for what is locked up right now+
3,000,000 for rest of dense
Not even including Dumba here. Or Middleton's QO. We will be nice to you and assume he signs for 1 mil or so
That is 19,775,000
19,775,000+51200000= 70975000
70975000+14,743,588 (the dead cap of Parise and Suter)= 85718588
Now goalies:
925,000 for Wallstedt
And to be nice only 1 mil for a backup.
This is all now 87643588. While being nice to you. And while assuming we go as cheap as possible. So no performance bonuses etc
So out of ALL of those players, the only ones without a NMC are:
Jon Merril
Erikkson Ek (to my knowledge)--- not getting traded because he just extended for 8 years and will have 7 years left by now
Fiala maybe
Foligno
Greenway
You need to shed about 4-5 mil BEST CASE scenario. Who is out? Greenway? Maybe Merrill gets sent down or moved. You need one of Foligno or Greenway to go, too
