Thread: Minny adds JT with extension in place
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CanucksInPurgatory</b></div><div>Remove the 1st from the Wild then maybe the trade would work. The Wild aren’t interested in Pearson though, and he’d probably play on the 4th line anyway. Plus, how would the Wild be able to sign Miller to an extension given that they are in cap hell?
Getting rid of Dumba would give the Wild 6M in cap space. Pearson being at 3M and Miller signing for around 7-9M would be almost double Dumba’s cap hit for one year. Not sure the Wild would even want Miller. Don’t see them trading Boldy either</div></div>

If Bill Guerin is smart and he can pulls this type of move he does have the cap space to sign JT and take on Pearson plus the added bonus of getting Höglander who they can have full control over gives them the ability to shuffle around the forwards and add more depth.

When it comes to doing other moves realistically the only other area of concern would be the D, but when you look as the prospects they have in the pool they can address those needs internally. I think that overall it’s all about Minnesota adding scoring to remain competitive in the Central while not selling the farm to do it. Sure they give up a 1st and take on cap, but it would give them a top 6 forward, top 9 forward and a young prospect who is due for a bounce back

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wildnochance</b></div><div>Delusional at its finest. Minnesota declines and blocks your number. Stop trolling wild fans with thus. You are living a fantasy. Imagine thinking it Miller would be signed to extension by cap hell team in Minnesota. Minnesota also taking on cap Dumo. Vancouver fans like yourself need to come down to reality.</div></div>

Minnesota maybe taking on cap, but they are getting control of Höglander and Pearson. Plus the trade only happens with Vancouver having allowed an extension to be negotiated and then a sign and trade deal happening. Given the buyouts that will hamper the cap space Minnesota fans need to understand that they will have to make trades that aren’t very good for them in the moment
