Thread: Draft (PHI/MIN/NYI/CHI)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>futurehofer</b></div><div>I'm not a fan of the deal for Ennis. Yes it gets him off the books and saves a bit of cap, but we don't need any more LD and since we don't have a 2nd, I really don't want to give up the 63rd pick. Hutton for sure would be behind Suter and Brodin on the depth chart and very likely at least Seeler as well. We also have Soucy who will be pushing for time from Iowa. Unless we get word late in the summer that Suter will miss the majority of the season or is done for good, I don't see how he's anything more than $2.8 million worth of dead cap for us.

I think a nice counter would be Ennis at 50% retained ($2.3 million for 1 year) for a pick. Based on his production this year mainly on the 3rd and 4th lines, he's worth that cap hit.</div></div>

Very understandable. I don't think Minnesota would need to retain salary, considering the point of the trade was as a somewhat camp dump, considering his contract really is a little exorbitant. The 3rd was added value for Hutton, but if you feel he's unnecessary, what do you think about Ennis + 6th round selection? I feel that a contract plus pick for nothing is not a realistic trade for many gms, which is why I tried to incorporate a return player in Hutton. Is there a particular position you feel the wild need depth in?
