Sens Offseason
I don't see that being something the Wild consider.
Middleton is pretty much exactly what they need in their defense at a good cap hit and they should be trying to get more guys like him. Giving up a 1st and other picks for a move they don't really need to make when they should be looking for a top 6 LW seems like a bad idea. He's definitely not a guy that needs to be dumped for cap space, they're not as cap strapped this year as people on this site seem to think. lol

So play him on a scoring 3rd line. He's fine for $2m for only 1 more year, I'd think he'd be extra motivated in a contract year.

What is MIN going to do with him
Strong possibility the Wild just keep Gus and roll with Flower/Gus for another year. They don't seem to be in any hurry to move on to Wallstedt, so giving him another year in Iowa while calling him up a few times isn't the worst idea ever for a team that isn't contending next year.

They were never going to be the most active team this summer, since most of their roster is pretty well set and they'll need to start thinking about Faber and Rossi's extensions the year after which will eat up a large chunk of the buyout dead cap they get back. Extending Zuccarello, Hartman, and Foligno so early gave them clarity on what they'll need next year with some space for a couple rookies to fight for a spot. They'll probably just be in on any bargain 1 year deals the week after free agency opens.

Honestly I'd be more upset about the 3rd round pick and taking on $2.4m for a 4th liner for another few years over Beckman, who more and more to me just doesn't look like a guy who is a NHL player. Idk.. maybe he needs to go somewhere else to get a fresh start but he hasn't done anything to stand out really.
But yeah.. $2.4m for a 4C? We don't need one of those, we already have a Gaudreau at home. ;)

I could see the Wild trading Gus if they decide Fleury/Wallstedt is a better tandem to roll with next year, but I really don't see a scenario where they trade Middleton unless they're out of it at the deadline and can move him then for a good return.
Or they'll just extend him anyhow at the beginning of the season and skip the whole "finding a sucker GM to overpay on a pending UFA" since that seems to be Guerin's thing.

Agreed. The trade just recreates the problem they have now where in the next couple years, players like Ohgren and Yurov are going to need roster spots and they're loaded with veterans occupying those spots. Giving up a 1st round pick for a rental is dumb if you're not a legit Cup contender and extending them would be short sighted IMO.

Offseason Rossi Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>Don’t disagree with anything ur saying except I do believe Frost has looked like more of a 2C now that Torts has finally given him real minutes over the last few months.

The issue is the rumor is the Wild are open to moving Rossi because of concerns about his size compared to his ceiling at this point. I think the hope was he'd be the next Brayden Point when they drafted him and while he still has room for growth, I'm guessing they're worried he won't get to where they thought he would. The problem is the return in this scenario is another center under 6' tall with a ceiling that is probably lower and a very late 1st round pick that you're unlikely to get the type of player that develops into a franchise center at. I think if this is the offer, they just keep Rossi and see where he peaks. 20 goals in his first full year is still a good start to his NHL career.
I know Khusnutdinov hasn't lit the world on fire yet, but I'd hope they wouldn't be so quick to throw in the towel on a guy who hasn't even had a full training camp or even more than a handful of practices with the team. Maybe this time next year it's an option if he doesn't seem like he'll pan out.

Would you want the Wild trading for an injury prone $7.5m dman coming off 2 surgeries? Buffalo wouldn't have anything to do with that deal.
If I were a gambling man, Johansson absolutely would be a better player next year than Ohgren. He'll be good for 30 points playing on the 3rd line in a contract year. Ohgren can spend the year in Iowa playing a more significant role and get used to North America. No need to rush him. Gaudreau.. he hasn't been good but I'd rather him center the 4th line and move Shaw to the wing while sending Beckman back to Iowa (or just don't sign Beckman at all).

<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.

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.
