Thread: Horvat to Minnesota
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>Wild fans are all probably going to come on here and decline it, because they would rather let the cap close in on them each TDL and instead let guerin by 4th line grinders each TDL so that they live by their "close but never close enough motto" yet again.

The wild have been obviously lacking of a top 6 C to pair with JEE for years now, but keep wasting away their chances. Horvat would finally give Kaprizov an electric and versatile center that would immediately make the Wild a prime threat. Add on the extension and - albeit it a tight offseason - they'd have a very good core for a while.

We all know the trade will be scoffed at though, Wild management and fans seem to be perfectly fine neglecting the primary reason they never go anywhere.</div></div>

That last line is a beauty coming from a Canuck fan. Maybe they will scoff at the trade because of the $8mx8 extension based on the cap hell they are in? Almost $15mil in dead cap space the next two seasons, and only 13 players signed for next year with $16.3 million to fill out the roster, so sure. give half that to 1 player.
