As far as buyouts go

Doesn't really fit their Kaprizov timeline either</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JumboFett</b></div><div>They'd be moving up 4 spots. Check the CapFriendly history of 1st rd position trades and you'll see the precedent for such a trade.




Start a MIN AGM team and buyout Parise. You'll see exactly how buyout proof his contract is. Trading for 1/2 retention is a SWEEEEEET deal.</div></div>

I have, it's not bad at all after 4 years and we get rid of a headache. We're probably better off just keeping him here unhappy than a buyout, but if it came to it then I'd much rather do that than lose a ton of picks/prospects just to offload him. Besides, if he retires on the team we traded him to we'll be screwed with cap recapture anyways, which is WAY worse than buying him out.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JumboFett</b></div><div>That may be true, IF he retires (which I doubt he would) but MIN is about to sign Kaprizov for an 8x8, and getting ~$4M off your cap for a couple 1sts is a meh draft is a boss move.</div></div>

There's a chance he might, the guy will is 36 and most players don't make it to 38-39, let alone 40 when his deal expires.

I doubt we sign Kaprizov to 8x8. He has reportedly been offered around this, but if he hasn't taken it already then I have a feeling he wants less term. My guess is we get him for around $7M x 5 years, maybe a little over $7M. Doesn't really matter, we have the cap to make that work without making any moves so why force a Parise trade and lose assets? That's just poor asset management. He signed the deal and if nobody wants him then he's just going to have to accept a smaller role here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nilspoglander</b></div><div>That Schmidt trade to me is kinda iffy, not saying Greenway isn't good</div></div>


It's not really iffy, there's nothing enticing about it. Minnesota has Spurgeon, Dumba, Soucy in the NHL on the right side. They already probably need to move Dumba for cap and roster space, because we have both Brennan Menell and Calen Addison who could step in next season on cheaper contracts, so taking on Schmidt isn't really an option at this point.

But beyond team needs even, Greenway has a very well defined role on one of the top shutdown lines in the league. He paced for something like 45 points there without any PP time. He's also cheap, which is great for us.

So there's little incentive to move Greenway, and there's no incentive to acquire Schmidt.
