You have to pay Middleton, probably Fleury since you traded KK. Would think keeping Dumba is also beneficial if the Wild view themselves as cup contenders right now. Guerin and Lou also have a tie given previous experience in NJ. Can't rule it out.

Speaking of Capuano, seems he might be getting promoted from within. Have a bad feeling Smith is getting canned.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hii</b></div><div>Ottawa probably doesn't need Bailey and he would would not really go well in their top 9 cause the sens are building a big team with speed and Bailey is not really that and a better option is signing litteraly anyone else cause they probably produce at a better rate then their contract is worth. Note that Ottawa would still have to sign Stutzle, Norris, Formenton, Joseph, Brannstromm, and a few other players. That contract makes it extremely difficult.</div></div>

I agree with the former but then why trade a 3rd for 1 guaranteed year of Hamonic?

Vegas is trading away picks and players recently signed. Islanders aren't doing that here.

We can get Reilly for less assets</div></div>

Dobson has no arbitration rights and he's not getting close to Pelech's current hit based off of 1 offensive year with current glaring issues in his defensive game. Also, Dunn > Rielly.

Fiala's also only 25 with playoff experience and is a fast skater and finisher, which compliments Barzal's 5 on 5 game.

Because there's an opportunity for him to get even more long-term dough. Given the flat cap as well as him needing to mature his skillset a lot more, it would be smart for JP Barry to have his client sign a bridge. He's still much less of a complete player than Brock Nelson.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>I would give him 4-4.5 to get him signed for 4-6 years. I think he would take that.

I just don’t think the market is there for brassard. At most I can see him getting 1.75 mill.</div></div>

Issue with Toews is that he spent money during his last 2 playoff series matchups.
Regarding the market for Brassard, look at how much Filppula got in the open market last offseason. It's possible.

I would like to give Toews more term as well but I'm not sure his agent would go for it. 32 regular season points also drive Brassard's price up slightly.

Also, since Trotz has shortened the bench occasionally with Pageau - Cizikas - Clutterbuck, Brassars in Pageau's spot is a prototype of that.

People will groan about Bellows being moved. He's not a bad prospect at all. He's actually quite good. Power forwards do take longer. Just Wahlstrom and Holmstrom have developed in a much quicker overall rate.
