If they felt the need to unload Bonino, he would just go the other way in whatever trade brings in a better player. Simple cost of doing business move for whoever the other team is.

Palmieri to Wild Question

I think they'll acquire a player, but someone for depth that doesn't cost much (a 5th or a 6th maybe), sorta like them acquiring Brad Hunt a few years back. I really can't see anyone giving up the equivalent of Addison and a 1st for a rental this year. Then again, every year some GM makes me wonder why they're paid what they're paid to do this by spending way too much for a 1st round exit so who knows.

Late team on Palmieri
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jnowariak</b></div><div>I think Dumba gets protected without question. He’s got way more value than Greenway in a trade or on the ice.
I also maintain my take that JEE is a fringe top 6 guy, but his new instinct to get to the net and bang away is being rewarded. He’s fantastic and a crucial part of the team but he still needs a playmaker to put up that offense.</div></div>
Ek to me is Koivu 2.0: a guy who should be in the Selke conversation, can be relied on for tough matchups but prolly shouldn't be your 1C. I really hope Rossi can develop into that 1C so Ek gets help sooner than Koivu did and maybe we can win something with them.

There's also the fact Minnesota has no need for a top 4 RHD with Spurgeon and Dumba playing in their top 4.

Any team in the NHL would be an upgrade over being on the Sabres. Even Detroit or Ottawa because both have reasons to be optimistic for the future. Buffalo has been rebuilding for a decade and isn't any closer to doing anything than they were 10 years ago.

Not sure the Wild give up a 3rd for a guy with 5 points. It wouldn't be to play him with Kaprizov, because that's Zuccarello's spot (19 points in 16 games playing together).

Hopefully Guerin could get both Parise and Suter to waive their NMCs for expansion purposes. I think if that happens, Seattle takes Soucy assuming they go the 7-3-1 route and protect all the forwards you'd expect. Guerin could hopefully extend Cole on a cheaper deal and then roll some combo of Suter/Spurgeon, Brodin/Addison, Sanheim/Cole next year which is still a solid defense. There's also the chance Menell comes back from the KHL next year and that's just more right side depth. I'd probably take the trade above assuming Frost seems like a legit NHL player.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jetman</b></div><div>Are NMC's able to be bought out?</div></div>
I couldn't find a quick answer by searching, but before they changed the dates on the league year the expansion draft was the end of June and under a normal year, the 1st buyout window opens June 15th or 48 hours after the Cup is awarded so teams should be able to buy someone out before the draft if they want.

Trade the future to get Eichel at the TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wildwinswhen</b></div><div>Future cap space is definitely a concern, but how much of an overpay is it really? If we aren't going to trade existing NHLers for him, then I think something like this works.
Now, we could fix the cap space problem by going Fiala, Boldy, 1st, 1st. But what does it actually take to be fair here? In my prospects model above maybe we remove Khovanov and the 2022 pick, but still if we're giving up only prospects and picks for an Eichel it's going to hurt.
I haven't seen a design yet that both MN and Buffalo fans thought was fair.</div></div>
Because Buffalo fans seem to think they'll somehow win an Eichel trade. Guessing the massive haul they got for O'Reilly gave them that idea. :tonguewink
The most I'd offer? Blue chip prospect (Rossi or Boldy), B+ prospect (Khovanov, Beckman, or Khusnutdinov), 1st round pick and Rask to help with cap. But honestly I'd just rather not. The Wild are in a great place right now, so if Guerin can navigate th expansion draft and the Parise/Suter landmines they'll be set to compete for awhile. Not much incentive to give up all that for a $10m contract with the flat cap we'll likely see the next few years.

Other than being an absolutely insane overpay, have fun extending Kaprizov, Fiala, Ek and signing 5-6 other skaters you'll need next year with $16m in cap space.

Hamilton is it possible
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>Overpay I'd say. Dougie's on an expiring contract. Not realistic. And you don't give up that much for a deadline rental, even if it is Dougie Hamilton.

The trade notes say must have an extension in place.
Not 100% sure on Mrazek's status because he was (is?) injured, but Carolina has 3 goalies who have all played well so can't see how Andersen helps them. You have a great return going to Carolina if they can't sign Hamilton, but let's be real: the Canes look like a legit Cup contender right now. They'll let Hamilton walk for nothing before they risk shaking up their team when they're playing so well.

Hurricanes rejected an Andersen trade in the offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PeterK</b></div><div>That probably wasn't the deal. Im sure there were other assets involved.</div></div>
This. I'm sure the base for salary purposes was Andersen for Hamilton. Toronto would clearly need to add something else to get Carolina interested, but the first hurdle is making the salary work.
Btw this isn't as stupid as people are making it sound. Dubas may have been checking to see if Carolina had any conversations with Hamilton about an extension and if they had any thoughts of moving him because they weren't going to be able to extend Hamilton. It was a long-shot, but Dubas is paid to seek out deals like that to improve the Leafs.
The other aspect is Andersen was paid a $4m bonus and was only owed $1m in salary. Hamilton had $6m in salary due, so maybe Dubas hoped the Canes were looking to shed salary due to the pandemic? *shrug*

Max value of Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>You’re being an extremist lol
Two packages for the wild that can possibly get Eichel.
Rossi , Addison, beckman, and a 1st
JEE, fiala, beckman , and a 1st.
Kings :
Turcotte, viillardi , madden , and a 1st
NYR
Kakko, chytil , Schneider , and a 1st.</div></div>
Clearly we have different definitions for top assets because I mean it literally; the top assets the team has, not their 2nd and 4th most valueable. For LA that means Byfield. For NYR, that means Laf. Most of the posts involving Eichel on here lately has Buffalo and non-Buffalo fans insisting Minnesota would need to give up multiples of Kaprizov, Rossi, Addison, and multiple 1st round picks because LA and NYR can offer Laf + Kakko or Byfield + Turcotte like those are actually things any of those 3 teams would do.

You made it sound like bringing in Eichel leads to all those things, like how Hall was lured into the career purgatory that is Buffalo.
Btw, you don't get to keep Seider if you're acquiring Eichel. Don't blame me, you made up the rules where you're giving up all your top prospects.
