Description

I'm not a Russo die-hard, so this isn't necessarily a depiction of what I want/think. It's just meant to be an aggregation of the things he's been vocal about. So, if you believe Russo, the following are plausible/likely:

1) Wild will move on from Greenway (he seems to lean towards that happening this year)
2) Has speculated on multiple occasions that Addison may be dealt this offseason
3) Dumba not re-signed
4) Gaudreau definitely re-signed
5) Duhaime/Shaw re-signed (not sure I've heard him really indicate one way or the other with Shaw, but taking a liberty there).
6) Gus re-signed
7) Goose. Honestly not sure. Don't know if Russo has said much here beyond the obvious (i.e. "at this point he hasn't requested a trade).

Dollar figures/term are just a best guess.

What returns/moves would you be looking for re: Greenway and Addison?

So, I don’t disagree with you here, but would love to keep Foligno at 2ish on his next deal as a 4th liner. I think the GREEF line and the fact we’re using a top 9 line to stop goals rather than score them is the real reasons we don’t win in the playoffs. Trade greenway, move Foligno to the 4th line, and get some more skilled players with Ek.

And no offense to Shaw, but I don’t care about him. He’s a classic tweener that’s earning his payday but takes an absurd amount of penalties in the TOI he’s given. He also can’t play higher than the 4th line.

Dewar, Rossi, Petan, Shaw, Steel, and Walker are all the classic tweeners. They can all be punted if they'll get a decent return, or kept for cheap depth.

I can't complain about the amount of Shaw's penalties when the team as a whole (bench too) has little discipline. The kneeing was bad, for sure, the rest aren't anything outside of the norm for the team.
