Thread: One Year Deals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>Except Kk has more potential then all of them and Poehling is a better prospect then Beckman. Just dont think the Habs give up on JK this early and if Greenway was available you have to pay a good price to get him.</div></div>

Yeah, Kotkaniemi has more potential, but he hasn't done a whole lot with it in three years. He's even taken a step back from his rookie year. But I'll grant you that I agree Montreal still doesn't make that move. However, for similar reasons, Minnesota doesn't consider Poehling and a 1st for Greenway. Poehling is only a couple years younger than Greenway, and he's not even close to the player Greenway is, and Greenway still has some potential himself. A late, late 1st isn't enticing enough to trade Greenway for Poehling, who does very little for us. As far as better prospect, I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone outside of Montreal who would prefer Poehling over Beckman at this point. Beckman has exploded since his draft year as one of the top scorers and top rising prospects in the WHL.

I think he ends up around 1-2 years for 1.5-2.5M, personally.

Thread: Off season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>zreich4</b></div><div>Yea and no. I’m a fan not a GM. It addresses the biggest need this franchise has. But like everyone says the trade is more than likely going to hurt at least somewhat to acquire him.</div></div>

Yeah because we have 145k in cap space with no 13th forward or 7th defenseman, no money left to meaningfully upgrade the roster in any way in the next 2-3 years, you can't give anyone raises, you desperately need cheap talent and you traded Boldy and three firsts away so you don't have any.

Hockey is a team game. Winning the Cup is about having guys playing above their contracts. Most of your money is going to guys who can not realistically play above their contracts.

Eichel is a great player. If we could sign him as a UFA for 10M this summer without giving anything up for him, we still probably couldn't without losing a good piece or two to the salary cap. But trading for him compounds the issue because of what you're also giving up to acquire him. He's just not worth it, even though he is a true 1C.

Thread: Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kallenpj</b></div><div>TanSor it looks like nickkbowen25 and I were thinking down the same path... I was just trying to figure out the cost of putting Parise's Cap into the Eichel deal.
If the ask is 4 top picks or prospects, then it is Sturm and O'Rourke to take Parise... which doesn't get it done on Buffalo's side. If they drop the ask for Eichel, then maybe... but as a Wild Fan l have a hard time trading 4 prospects/ 1sts ... it really hurts what we can accomplish 3+ years from now.</div></div>

It typically takes a lot to dump cap (just look at when Toronto dumped Marleau to Carolina with 2 years at ~$6M hit) so that's why I think the price of dumping him to Buffalo for buyout purposes probably isn't worth it. They'd be on the hook for a lot of cap over the next 4 years, and basically a depth player for 4 years after that (think it's like $800k or so for the last 4 years of the buyout). If I'm Buffalo I'm asking for a truck load to do that

Thread: Chuckys Boys
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kallenpj</b></div><div>What are the ramifications of a Mutual termination? Wouldn't Cap Recapture Penalties apply just as if he retired? The cap advantage has already been "spent". If not, does he have to play for another team in order to circumnavigate cap recapture penalties? Otherwise I would think that this loophole would have been used as an alternative in some cases to LTIR.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>Yeah this is what I have no idea about. Does it mean the contract is dissolved? Are we still on the hook for cap? Couldn't tell you. Did Winnipeg have a cap penalty for terminating Byfuglien's contract? The answer probably could be found with that situation or some digging on Google...</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drmantalban</b></div><div>My understanding is that there is no more cap hit or penalty whatsoever, but he also forfeits the rest of his earnings. The contract and everything associated with it is no more. I could be mistaken though so maybe someone else can confirm.</div></div>


Russo commented on this a few weeks ago and you're right. Mutual termination means no more contract or recapture. But it also means that Parise says pass on 10 million dollars. I think he'd only do it, if he knew he could get a contract with a contender.

The more likely route is trade and buyout.

Thread: Another trade proposal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aero_Astro_Guy</b></div><div>Ok. Now that is resolved. Due to my unfamiliarity with the mobile version, I looked at the bonuses line instead of the cap space line and this thought that we have 1.5 mil left. On McCann, Pens fans say that he is capable of playing C and I think that I believe them. We ll live we ll see. In the worst case scenario, we obtain a fringe C for a pure wing. I still think that Rask is worth a 4th or 5th, but people become crazy when I propose a trade like this and I don’t wanna waste assets to ship him off. And keep in mind that we should somehow help Evanson not to play Rask on the 1st line cause looks like he does not understand how bad this decision is</div></div>

Rask would have value if MN retained half of his salary, but then it's not really worth trading him unless they needed $2m in cap space desperately.

I have no interest in McCann. The 3rd line center/wings just don't work out, it's a jack of all trades, master of none type of thing. If he was a quality 3C then PIT probably wouldn't have traded for Carter (he was a steal of a trade though).

Konecny is just more of what MN already has and just takes away from cap that could be used on the team's needs. For example, Sturm might be the 2nd best center on this roster.
