Thread: Extending RNH

If he signs that deal, either he needs to fire his agent or he really loves it in Edmonton. Too many teams need centers, he'd get more in free agency if he gets there.

Thread: next season with 86m cap

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan34</b></div><div>Stop with Dumba he is Tyson barrie but worse</div></div>

The Wild, with a much better D corps, had Dumba on the ice for PK an average of 1:07. The Leafs, who have a D corps that everyone can agree could use some work, had Barrie on the ice for PK an average of :02. Dumba is not worse than Barrie, not even close.

Thread: The new and improved Meefs

This immediately makes me wonder how a team of McDavid > Tavares > Eichel > Matthews down the middle would do with random league minimum wingers on their lines.

You're adorable, trying to argue points that are meaningless and then acting like you're leaving in a huff because we didn't care about your poorly framed argument. Pro tip: next time drop the thing about the RFA needing a contract being a zero dollar cap hit and stick with the point about them being better off just trying to unload Johnson. Notice I never argued that's a bad point and instead focused on the part about the RFA not being a zero dollar cap hit?

And how many points do those zero $ RFAs put up? He'll sign a contract, which is what TanSor's point was. That contract will carry more cost with Johnson than Dumba and Donato. It's not too hard of a concept.

Don't think it would take an overpay to get Dumba. Top 6 center is what it would take, Canucks wouldn't give up what they have for him (rightfully) and I don't know of any prospects they have that would fit that description.

arguing his cap hit is zero and Tampa is adding salary when clearly Cirelli will have a cap hit when he finally signs and it's reasonable to assume he'll want a good contract because he's earned it.

I'd rather have Pateryn, Hartman, and Parise tbh. I'll give you points for suggesting a creative trade that does seem to address the Wild's need for a center though.

His contract is zero? I know Tampa fans are used to seeing under market value contracts, but this is a new low.. lol

Agreed, there's reason for optimism for their future at goalie. Next year will be interesting, there's a ton of options for Guerin. I haven't felt this good about their goalie situation since we had Backstrom/Harding in the NHL and Kuemper/Hackett in the system. Hopefully it turns out better than that did. lol

They absolutely do, it's just a matter of determining what's the absolutely most you're comfortable giving up and then give some more.

Sokolov that high? I think at this point he's a career AHLer, while guys like McBain and Giroux seem like they might have a chance still. Also what about guys like Belpedio and Menell?

Thread: Free Buyout team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Zuccarelo or Suter</div></div>

Zuccarello is only a year into a deal that's already looking like a mistake because he doesn't really fit, but Guerin could probably get a pass from ownership only because Fenton signed him. Suter isn't going anywhere imo, he'll come pretty close to playing out his contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>Maybe BUF (Skinner/Okposo) LAK (Carter/Quick) MIN (Rask/Parise) NJD (Subban/Schneider) and/or NYI (Ladd/Boychuk).</div></div>

Rask isn't actually a problem for Minnesota though. He's overpaid sure, but $4m doesn't kill their cap space and he was useful at times this season as an injury fill-in.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I think signing Bobrovsky and then one year later eating such a big contract would be professional suicide for the GM.</div></div>

This. I think most of the fans suggesting a GM buy out a player 1 year into their deal don't seem to realize ownership groups wouldn't look favorably on this. They're businessmen in this to make money. If they happen to win a Cup and make more money in the process is only a bonus.

A lot can happen between now and the expansion draft, but the Wild likely protect Suter, Spurgeon, and Dumba on defense. Brodin is a UFA so the Wild wouldn't protect him.

Why would Carolina expose Svechnikov?

Thread: Wild 2020 offseason

Khovanov won't be in the NHL next year, people need to pump the brakes just a bit on him. Why buyout Rask if you have the cap space to keep him? He's a serviceable, though overpaid, center who can fill in for injuries in a pinch. Why trade for Domi just to put him on the LW? Strome isn't that good and giving up an unprotected 1st is silly given this team's inconsistency. Kunin should have a bigger role, not centering the 4th line. Maybe give Sturm a shot at 4C? Paying a 3rd pairing LHD $6m is insane.

And 29 other teams offer a better package for Sergachev. Tampa may need to move him due to cap problems, but they'll still get a decent return on him if they do.
