Opening Night Roster
Here is why I have this as my opening night roster:
1. I am almost 110% confident that Matt Boldy and Marco Rossi will be making the opening night roster out of training camp. Boldy proved his worth in Iowa in his short stint there, and will be a key cog for this team for years to come, he is ready. Now, even with Rossi missing time due to his COVID related heart condition, I feel incredibly confident that he will also make it out of camp and not need any time in Iowa either. His work ethic on and off the ice is very well documented, and he looked like the same top 10 draft pick we all saw him as in junior at the Olympic qualifier. He will come out at the prospect showcase with CHI and dominate there, and will prove himself even more at the big camp with the big boys and make it.
2. I think that Nico Sturm will get a chance right away to prove himself at camp and show if his flashes last season were a fallacy or the real deal, and slotting him with two hard-working line mates will be his opportunity to show us once and for all his real potential, which I think is more than just a 4th liner.
3. What to do with Victor Rask and Nick Bjugstad? Well, knowing that Bjugstad is a right shot compared to Rask who is left handed, one would think that due to the Wild's lack of right shots that Bjugstad would have the upper hand. I personally think otherwise, and feel that a transition to a less important defensive role for Rask will benefit him on the wing to see his full skill unleashed, whatever that may be. Nick Bjugstad will be the perfect injury replacement/depth forward for the Wild to have, and can slot in just about anywhere fortunately, but I think due to Guerin and Evason's draw to Rask, that Victor has the spot on the 4th line instead of Bjugstad.
Defensively, it is pretty straightforward fortunately, maybe Goligoski and Brodin could flip flop where they play, but I think these are the best fits for each pair. Talbot will be the starter right away, maybe Kahkonen can have a strong run where he gets some more games, but I think his time to show his potential as a starter is starting to run out.
Forward line combinations can easily change, but I feel that Ekker needs a shot to get some bigger minutes with some bigger guns, and that Rossi will fit a top 6 center role just as well as I think he can. If Greenway shows some more flashes on that 3rd line, then I could see him and Boldy being flipped around as well, but for now he needs to show more consistency to get his big shot, as I feel Boldy will step in and have immediate chemistry with Fiala to earn his spot there.
Let me know what you think!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drmantalban</b></div><div>My only major suggestion would be to grab another utility center/winger from UFA. Rossi has played what 4 games in the last 16 months...? I think he’ll require quite a bit of time in Iowa.</div></div>
I also thought that too, but nothing in FA honestly intrigues me as a center option that can't just be elevated either from Iowa or someone like Rossi/Boldy. Stastiny maybe, but a Derek Stepan just doesn't scream sexy for myself personally in that top spot, but definitely understand where you are coming from.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wildwinswhen</b></div><div>It's realistic. Depressing, but realistic. :)
I think you're a bit light on Fiala's deal. He's probably going to be closer to 7M AAV, but you have the space.
Also, thank you for leaving enough cap room to account for Year 2!
Overall good job.</div></div>
It is important to realize we will be hamstrung for sure the next couple years, so signing guys to long term deals in FA doesn't make much sense for sure. I bet Fiala goes for more than 6M AAV, but Guerin may try to play hardball with him since he hasn't signed yet, but we can dream he'll only get 5.75 ;)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lightman13</b></div><div>That’s a waste of a 3rd rounder. Wild don’t need to dump rask.</div></div>
I think because the draft this year is considered relatively weak, we can afford to waste a 3rd rounder to get rid of Rask and his salary to a team that has room for a year and could use a somewhat serviceable center for a year, when we need to elevate our guys like Sturm and Rossi to higher roles.

Wild 2020-21 maybe
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mnwild1790</b></div><div>Edmonton won't do that. I'd love it, but I know they won't. This for a couple of reasons:
1.) They don't need RD right now unless it's a sure fire star. They're already doing a good job developing what they currently have at RD and Dumba is more of a reclamation project right now than a star. They'd rather save the cap hit and develop what they currently have in their system.
2.) RNH had a fantastic season. He's really rounding into a really good 2-way center. Really good 2-way centers are hard to find. When you find one, you hold on to them unless you receive an amazing offer.
3.) After last year, their values went in opposite directions. Don't get me wrong, I still think Dumba will return to 50 pt form but recent memories of him cast doubt. Therefore RNH is highly more valuable than Dumba is.
Because of the reasons I stated above, RNH won't wear a Wild jersey unless we make an outrageous offer for him.</div></div>
Understandable, agree with your points and makes total sense. Seen some other centers thrown out like Cirelli, which would be nice but RNH seemed better to me, Edmonton has a good one on their hands. What do you think of the other trade, Georgiev for Greenway/Dubnyk? One sided for MN or?

Why wouldn’t NYR take Greenway for Georgiev? Shesty will be your starter, and Georgiev is a more definitive starter who shouldn’t be a backup. Do you think more picks are needed?
