Thread: Addison amp Rossi traded to Chicago for picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CrimsonTide</b></div><div>The Minnesota Wild have a little over $8.2 million dollars in cap space, but they want to make trades to get more cap space because they’re in a cap space crunch this season and for 2 more seasons.</div></div>

So your solution is to move a rfa player who won't cost a lot on a bridge deal, even though they want to move on from him anyway, and our top center prospect who is on an ELC for the entirety of the teams cap issue?

I'm sorry. That is simply the most asinine and moronic thing the organization could do.

Okay, you move Addison because he's not a fit, and because someone else can pay him when you don't want to.

But Rossi is EXACTLY the type of controlled contract they NEED to keep. It's not a coincidence that Guerin deliberately pushed back Rossi's ELC, he did that with the express purpose of having it line up so that both the ELC and dead cap will end at the same time. I mean, moving your top prospect in general isn't good asset management regardless. So the thought that a team in desperate need of a top six center would move it's best center prospect is again just plain idiotic.
