<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>joshelkin</b></div><div>$14m buyout dead cap comes off the books.</div></div>
Which doesn't magically solve all their cap requirements. They'll have ~$40m to work with in your hypothetical scenario and need to sign 11 or 12 players. If Faber keeps it up, he could very well eat up around 1/4 of that on an 8 year deal and they'll still need to figure out a top 6 center to play with JEEK and a LHD to play with Spurgeon on the 2nd pair so that's possibly another 1/3 of that and the other ~$15m + whatever the cap goes up by will go towards the remaining 8 or 9 players which ideally won't all be league minimum plugs. I'd much rather they do that then throw away ~$5m on an aging vet that is only going to decline further.
Gaudreau isn't a problem. He's either the 4C or buried in the minors with under $1m in dead cap. That's nothing. But you already know how stupid this deal would be for the Wild, which is why you'd like to see it as an Islanders fan.

You're right it would fit next year, but have fun in 2025/26 extending Faber, Rossi, Khusnutdinov, and Wallstedt while ideally locking up at least 2 of them long-term and either giving Middleton a raise or finding a replacement top 4 LHD and filling out the rest of the roster to be competitive enough to convince Kaprizov to extend.

Caps need to win now, not so much for the Wild. We can't wait for D men to get to the NHL. Ovi only has 2 more years left on his deal. Maybe 1 more (I think he signs a 1 year deal) after that. Faber would fit the need for a young defensemen who can help win now, but also grow into the future.</div></div>
So a box that might contain a boat. No thanks, the Wild have their boat and will keep him. Far more important to the Wild is their need to convince Kaprizov to extend long-term after next season and having a stud #1 RHD helps with that.

Big D
The Wild have Faber, Spurgeon, and Bogo on the right side next year. They also have enough forwards under contract while needing to think about making room for guys like Yurov and Ohgren in the next few years, so Robertson doesn't really fit which makes this an incredibly not compelling offer to drop back in the 1st round especially if it's pick 6-9. Easy no.

Trading him isn't an option.</div></div>
It also doesn't make a lot of sense for the Wild to spend assets on their position of least need. They have Brodin and Middleton for their top 4 LHD next year and can rotate some of their prospects in on the 3rd pair to see if any of them sticks. Merrill is fine enough if none of them stick for another year that they're not likely to be doing much of anything with all that dead cap.

Wild next season
Can't see the Wild spending assets to get a $6.5m third pairing RHD when they have Bogo who has been decent as a 2nd pairing player and ideally won't have to play as much next year behind a healthy Spurgeon and Faber.
Ideally.
Gaudreau hasn't been good lately, but he's fine enough if overpaid as a 4C, ideally playing behind something like JEEK > Rossi > Khusnutdinov.

To ask the Wild to retain money next year when they're still cap strapped, it better be a 1st coming back to make it worth it. Especially to a divisional rival.

I'll never understand people who comment that a GM "should have gotten so much more", like Calgary went through the effort of talking to multiple teams and decided "I think I'll take the worst offer on the table". This was apparently the best offer available and they managed to get a 1st+ for a player they were going to lose for nothing. Vegas gets an upgrade and Philly gets a pick for cap space they weren't going to use. Seems like a fair deal all around to me.

Minnesota Wild signed Zach Bogosian (2 Years / $1,250,000 AAV)
Meh. Contract is basically buriable if he's terrible and they'd probably get a 5th round pick at best so might as well keep him and bring him back to take some of the load off Faber.
With Spurgeon out, he's played well enough on the 2nd pair for a guy that should be playing 3rd pair minutes. He's been one of the first to stand up for Kaprizov if the other team targets him and he's been decent on defense. Assuming Spurgeon is back to his usual level next year, Bogo will be just fine at this salary on the bottom pair. Minnesota's defense hasn't been great this year, but that's not on him really. Mermis, Goligoski, and Merrill have been the problem. Probably worth mentioning the Wild have nothing for defense prospects that are right shot and will be ready for a NHL role next year. I don't see this as being a problem at that cap hit. Again, if he's bad you can just bury him and move on.

Middleton instead
Can't say Broberg would be of much interest to the Wild, they have a lot of defense in their prospect pool they'll need to start playing soon. A 2nd in 2 years? If that's the best offer, the Wild will just keep Middleton and see what the market looks like in the summer or trade deadline.

There would be more, the 5th is just for the 25% retention. I just didn't feel like putting in whatever Vegas sends to Ottawa since they were just a placeholder for any contender that wants him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vancity2196</b></div><div>Do you think Merrill and Duhaime would be good fits for the Canucks?
Tarasenko isn't a good fit in Minny - Maybe a team like Vegas, Boston, Edmonton, Vancouver, etc would acquire him at the Trade Deadline.</div></div>
Duhaime would be good for a playoff team. Merrill.. I have no idea why Vancouver supposedly would want him. Supposedly Russo said they were interested. To be fair, he's not terrible if his minutes are limited. He's fine in a pinch for bottom pairing duties, but I just don't see him as being a dman suited for playoff style hockey so that's why it sounds odd to me that supposedly Vancouver is interested.
Tarasenko isn't staying in Minnesota, they're just retaining 25% and sending him to a contender that needs scoring. In this case, I said Vegas because they have some room with Stone being out.

Absolutely no chance the Wild remotely consider that. First they'd need Middleton if they're trying to go for it, which trading for Guentzal would imply. Second their team is worse than the team they had last year when they didn't move a top prospect or a 1st for any rental help so it doesn't make any sense for them to do it this year. If they want Guentzal for next year, they'll either talk to his agent July 1st or trade considerably less to whoever gets him as a rental to get his rights in June to try to negotiate before he hits the open market.

Has this been said recently? The most recent thing I've seen is Guerin saying Fleury has earned the right to decide and they'll have that conversation soon, but that was just within the last week he said that and I haven't seen anything since. My guess was they'd chat a couple days before the deadline and see where the team is at in the standings before making a decision.

That’s probably about the extent of what the Wild do at the deadline, though I’m guessing they’d keep Duhaime for depth and not ask for retention since they have Spurgeon’s LTIR pool to work with.
