As far as your ACGM here, Wallstedt will not be in a Wild sweater next year unless there is an emergency situation - count on it. He needs time to bake in the AHL, and subsequently Fleury is likely not being traded. Middleton is not being traded. I think Gus will get done at more like 3 years, 3.5M'ish AAV. Addison will probably get a QO in the 1 to 1.5M AAV range for 1 or 2 years. The Goose trade probably happens, but it will be a 'future considerations' type of swap - he is not worth a 3rd. I don't think they re-sign Sundqvist. Lambos will not see the NHL for another couple years.

Still gotta fill out your roster with two more, as well. I personally would like to see them re-sign Reavo, especially in the likely absence of Dumba - I just hope the Wild don't pay him quite that much.</div></div>

Guessing Reaves gets league minimum, but probably a 2 year deal. Guerin seems to like him and it sounds like he wants term so that kinda deal works for both sides.

Agree on Lambos not skipping the AHL on his way to the NHL. If anyone in their defense prospect pool makes the NHL team it would be Hunt or O'Rourke since they spent last year in Iowa. Doubt either makes it though, defensemen normally take longer to develop and if they trade Addison (which I think they will) they can just plug that hole with a cheap veteran for a year.

Thread: another Lindholm idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mjoyce001</b></div><div>This doesn't fit Minnesota's cap. Fiala was traded partially because it was reported Minnesota was saving money to offer kaprizov the moon. Plus how does Minnesota put together a semblance of team this two two years? They can't</div></div>

Yeah unfortunately MN just can't afford to make any big moves. It seems the earliest we'd be able to do anything really significant would be TDL in the 24-25 season and that's assuming you've accumulated cap like they did this year and are in a position where it makes sense. With the buyouts dropping off that summer, you'd have the flexibility to re-sign any big acquisition.

But more than likely nothing major happens and we start ramping up at the 2025 draft.
