THE CAP IS GOING UP, YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY STOP ACTING LIKE THE CAP ISN’T MOVING, IT’S SUPPOSED TO JUMP MASSIVELY NEXT YEAR WHEN MARNER IS UP & YOU GET 13 MIL OF DEAD CAP OFF CAP AS WELL, YOUR CONCEPT OF “oH wElL jUsT bE tHe LeAfS wItH nO mOnEy FoR dEpTh”, the Leafs would have been got depth IF THE CAP WASN’T STAGNANT GUESS WHAT NOW IT ISN’T, TEAMES WILL BE PAYING MULTIPLE STARS SOONER THEN LATER
MARNER AT 11
FABER AT 8-9
KAPRIZOV AT 13
BOLDY AT 7

Massively?
The f*** are you on about?
By your own admission, that's $40M tied up in FOUR players. Sounds EXACTLY like the Leafs. How's that working out for you guys?
The cap is going up FOUR MILLION, which only gives Minnesota $7M in cap space this off-season. Will it go up in consecutive years? Maybe. Unlikely, but maybe.
But you don't build your roster around maybe's. Particularly when it comes to cap related reasons. We will have $40 Million to resign 10 players, or did you miss the part where Minnesota only has 11 players signed through until the dead cap goes down?
Depending on Faber's contract, the Wild will have only roughly $30M left to resign RFA's like Wallstedt, Khusnutdinov and Ohgren, AFTER signing Faber. Plus they'll need to fill out the rest of the roster too. $30M for 9 players goes pretty quick there, guy. Paying Mitchie Boi another $12M means the Wild would only have $18M left to fill 8 spots. $18M left for all RFA's in need of a contract, any additional UFA depth additions, plus a likely goaltender to replace Fleury after his retirement. Since it seems likely Gustavsson is also on the move this off-season.
So please, explain to me again. In big Boi words. How Minnesota is expected to pay half of it's future roster in two years with only $18M in cap space. I'll wait.
And don't sit there and say the cap's going up again. It's not a viable response or argument. Because you don't plan out future contracts and roster plans on maybe's or potential possibilities.
