Thread: Signing players
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>5 million for Burakovsky is a hard pass. Adding those two goalies is a big mistake, Grubauer and Francouz are fine. Kovalchuk will be far too old. Plus, he's never played the 4th line role in his career, so that won't work. Colorado could do much better.</div></div>

Burky's contract will depend on how he finishes off this season and how he looks in playoffs. I doubt we lock him up for 4 years with it but it could be up to 5 mil for sure. Odds are he will be in the 50-60 point rage come the end of the year which is fine for that price.
I think the smith signing is pointless with the goalies we have now but binnington wouldn't be the worst goalie to grab, i highly doubt st louis lets him walk to free agency though.

Thread: The Rebuild start
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksince71</b></div><div>With the performance of the Wild as team, and Dumba’s stats declining, his value will be lower. I can’t see the Wild wanting to move him. I will be surprised if he fetches the team a 1st. I said last week, I think he is a discount. It depends if Guerin chooses a full blown rebuild.

The one issue the Wild must do is address their goaltending.</div></div>

I don't think it will be that much of a discount. No one is really excelling on minny. He has 3 more years on his contract so they are in no rush to move him. Guerin isn't just going to take the first offer he gets for him. If he doesn't get the value, which should easily be a first, he's just going to hold onto him till someone offers one.
