Thread: Wild Bill deals with the All-in Teams
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Morzski</b></div><div>21/22 Wild with Rossi, Addison and Dewar on roster and Greenway to Seattle gets 23 million in space. Wild would need to fill 5 roster spots, 8m x 8 to Kap, 5m x 5 to EEK, 2.5m x 3 to Hartman, 7.5m remaining. Fiala is a bit of a Wild card imo, he's not playing like he should get a 6m x 5 contract right now so maybe a 4.5-5m x 3? Either way 7.5m to sign him and a few fillers on the team doesn't equal WIld "need that 6m in cap space."

I agree that BG would be wise to move Dumba only with a good package coming back, Dumba is playing really well this year. It's not as dire as you make it out to be.

Seattle takes Greenway, Foligno, Hartman, Rask, Sturm, Soucy, Menell or Talbot ..... oh well Seattle will take someone.</div></div>

I think you need to work on your math a bit. If we use those values that you listed (which I am ok with but don't think Eek gets more than 4-4.5)... you are left with 1m and 6 roster spots to fill. Who's filling in the spots for Greenway, Bjugstad, Bonino, MarJo, Cole and Hunt? Even "fillers" at 1m a piece is 6m. The Wild are in a tight cap situation with all those players playing well. So it is as desperate as I am making it out to be for moving Dumba's 6m. I will say we agree on Fiala, he isn't playing like a 7m player... more like a 5.5-6m player so that one will be tricky.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_Habs_fan</b></div><div>Well Eek, and Fiale get protected, if Parise waives greenway too, but Dumba is absolutely more valuable than Foligno and imo as valuable if not more then Greenway</div></div>

Parise isn't going to waive, especially after how the coach has been treating him. He might wave to be traded, but would have no interest in being shipped out to Seattle and there is a chance (small, but still a chance) that Seattle would grab him to reach the salary cap floor and add a veteran winger who could also Capitan a team. And, you are missing the important part which is we need his 6m in cap space and we have a replacement in Addison.

Best case scenario for the Wild is move Dumba, protect 7-3-1 and get Suter to waive his NMC. They protect:
Parise, Zuc, Fiala, Eek, Greenway, Foligno and Hartman (unless they get back a FWD in the Dumba deal)
Spurg, Brodin, and either Soucy or Mennel

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Morzski</b></div><div>A 2022 late (presumably) 1st and 3rd is a pretty disappointing return for Dumba, protect 8 if that's all BG can get. Also John Beecher is a good prospect.</div></div>

The later BG waits to make a decision the lower the value goes. I think Dumba is worth a 1st and a 3rd... or a 1st and a prospect. I don't like Beecher at all, and really if you read Scott Wheelers take on the Boston prospect pool it is like 29th with no really great prospects. (wasn't high on Beecher either). Protecting only 8 really exposes guys and we need to move Dumba's cap space anyways if we plan on signing everyone.

22m - 8ish to Kaprizov, 6-7m for Fiala, 3 for Eek, possibly another 3 to Hartman who's been a beast... and you still have to fill holes for MarJo, Bonino, Bjugstad, Cole and Hunt. We need that 6m in cap space.

Thread: Eichel and value on other players
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SalamiCheese</b></div><div>Perhaps, but it seems to be true. Such players are rarely traded, but it was before the season, so I wrote that the price might be slightly less, but hardly much less. This package just doesn't even come close. I'm sure Adams would have asked Boldy instead of Rossi, because that is the type of player he would be looking for. And Dumba definitely shouldn't have been in the deal.</div></div>

I think Buffalo fans in general are going to expect way more than they ultimately will get for Eichel WHEN he is traded. A few weeks back I suggested a Wild trade of both 1st's this year, Fiala and Khovanov and was yelled at by a Buffalo fan saying we needed to include Kaprizov. As I told him, I wouldn't trade Kaprizov straight up for Eichel as he look like he could be that good (and with a better attitude).

I'd love to see him come to the Wild, and I do think GMBG planted some seeds with Adam's on that Staal trade which was one sided... but I am not sure it will get done given success of the Wild this year and the cap room needed to make that happen. If the Wild could move Dumba somewhere else, then they'd have the cap space to take Eichel on. I guess we'll see where Jack ends up and for how much in the near future.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>A 1/3 of Parise even strength ice time has been spent with Kaprizov - he has played with good forwards. The reality is he's not top 6 F at this point in his career and he turns 37 in a few months.

I'm sure lou likes Parise, but bellows has been playing very well and he's much younger and cheaper than Parise. Lou is big on chemistry and he's not breaking up the 1st line right now. The Parise deal is dead unless the wild want to retain 50% salary and take back ladd.</div></div>

That's fair that you think the deal is dead, but your Ladd + retain 50% is laughable.... Ladd is worthless and wouldn't even see our lineup... so it's dead money. You may not like Parise but he has a hell of a lot more value than your proposal.
