Deans Cheat Sheet but BETTER
Tinkering with the Parise/Sturm/Bonino shouldn't happen until they cool off. Sturm's speed is the only thing that has made the 4th line viable all season. Without that speed it's just a plodding mess.
Bjugstad is fine in the pressbox. Once MarJo forgets how to play again then put Bjugstad in his wing spot.

Can Minnesota be a contender right away with Eichel
The contracts are bad/wrong for JEE, Fiala, and Kaprizov. Fiala is in his 5th NHL season now, the next contract would walk him into UFA status on July 1st. Kaprizov would be 27 on June 30 when his contract ends so can become a UFA.
Parise's buyout is awful for the team. The cap hit after year 1 hops back up to close to his normal cap hit for 3 years. The money just won't be there to sign Danault if the Fiala, JEE, and Kaprizov contracts are more realistic.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wildwinswhen</b></div><div>I value Greenway more than Dumba. Dumba is a 6M cap hit that can be better used for part of Kaprizov and/or Fiala. Also, we have Addison and Mermis ready to step up to the RD2 slot for much less. Dumba has not brought his offensive game since his injury two years ago. Ultimately, Greenway is much harder for us to replace.</div></div>
Mermis is a 27 yo LHS d-man with 22 career games and is a UFA after the season.

I'd go with JEE for MN. Goalie KK has been good, but he's still a backup/1B goalie that has played less than half the games this season for MN this year.

I think MN is just fine in losing Soucy to SEA instead of Greenway or Foligno (4-4-1). Even if they go 7-3-1 (and Dumba isn't available for whatever reason) losing Soucy is better than losing one of their goalies.

Simply put pre-injury Dumba = Hamilton, now Dumba = Risto (just on a competent team). Wild fans (and GM) want Hamilton value for Dumba, but he hasn't been that guy in a couple of years now.

I wouldn't say 8-1 is completely off the table, but I do think it's less likely than it was at the start of the season. Dumba is not putting up the points and not being used on the PP to really make it an easy decision to protect him.
His play has been fine, but has he been worth his $6m contract this year? He wasn't worth it last year, and the year before that he got injured and missed most of the season. I can make an argument for protecting him in an 8-1, or leaving him exposed in a 7-3-1.

RNH at $8m is gross.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jnowariak</b></div><div>Fair criticism of the scouting staff, I know Brackett had the Gm over his shoulder on draft day so I’ll give it some time.
As for the idea that hype is important, drafting on hype will lead you down the wrong road. All leagues other than the OHL have played meaningful seasons and none of those guys were projected top of the 1st round after last season. If an NHL team can’t get its hands on game film then that scouting staff has utterly failed. I get that not being able to scout in person is a detriment but the league has started going to more emphasis on video scouting in the past years. A successful draft means you get a couple NHL players, the things you listed are just excuses hockey men will use when they draft dud after dud this year.</div></div>
Game tape is different than watching the games in person. Going off of last year's rankings is going down the wrong road also, just look at Raty.
With MN already having a couple of 1st this year if I'm going to add a 1st somehow I'd rather it be in the future, it just gives more flexibility to the team. For this draft I'd rather have stocked up on mid-round picks rather than 1st rounders (it's a good chance of just being BOS (2015) all over again this year and mid 1sts). For normal years I'd rather have a 1st than mid-round picks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jnowariak</b></div><div>I think we look at prospects differently and that’s fine. What’s interesting is the top of next year’s draft is probably better than this year’s but that curve will collapse to the average around pick 10 if I had to make a guess. Hype matters and is driving more of the discussion than facts this year.
<strong>It comes down to whether you think your team can scout the guys who are gonna be NHLers or not.</strong></div></div>
I don't have a high opinion of MN's new head scout, and I've not been a fan of MNs scouting staff in the past.
Hype matters more this draft than in any in recent history. There are a bunch of kids where past hype is all they'll have to go on to get drafted this year. The 1st round is going to be littered with guys that "should" be taken in the 2nd/3rd rounds simply because they can play this year while others can't.
The CHL isn't fully up and running, and I'm not sure if they allow fans/scouts to watch the games that are happening. Lots of US high schoolers lost some/all of their seasons.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jnowariak</b></div><div>The idea of a weak/strong draft is being over played. A 10-15 pick this year is still worth more than a 20-25 pick next year.</div></div>
I don't think so, after the top few players this year's draft is a complete crapshoot. I also don't think PHI will have a 20-25 pick next year and will be on the Playoff bubble, even with Dumba.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jnowariak</b></div><div>I don’t fault PHI for not making a move this last off-season but it was a risk. PHI does have depth down the middle and now we know they NEED a top pair RHD. I think they’re willing to part with one of those guys, especially after the Patrick rumors right before the deadline.
What does change my thinking is where PHI is going to pick this year. Does a 2nd and a 1st swap work? I really think Dumba will be protected in expansion and moved after. He’s more valuable once teams know what their roster looks like and I bet WPG is really wishing they didn’t play so hard to get this past offseason. There will be teams that want him and his remaining term is probably attractive even if the cap hit isn’t.</div></div>
I'm still not sure how much depth PHI does have down the middle.
-Giroux and Couts are both rentals next year. I think Couts re-signs for big money. Not sure what is going to happen with Giroux.
-Patrick hasn't really done much.
-They have some nice prospects, but they haven't really had their NHL chances yet.
