Next year- New Top Line

Équipe: 2019-20 Wild du Minnesota

Date de création initiale: 8 avr. 2019

Publié: 8 avr. 2019

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Time to spend some money and move some pieces! Min needs a top line that is a threat to score every game

Values might be off (I am sure they are), but these are some of my thoughts to get a legit 1st line and take some pressure off of some aging centers. Opinions and thoughts always welcome. Again I could be off, and these are some rough ideas.

Trade Breakdowns
CBJ Trade: 2 players that had down years. Retained some of V. Rask Salary to make more appealing and more even.

MTL Trade: Trading a Top 6 winger a Top 3 Defenseman, B Prospect, and upper middle Pick. For a Top line scorer and a good player. Might need to sweeten this on MN side a little more, but I think that it is a decent start (?)

AZ Trade: Solid Middle 6 player (IMO) for a fence prospect and some later picks. Not sure on value here, but M. Foligno is a good PKer and is a good physical presence.

VGK Trade: Something for Aberg. Would be willing to take a 4th round pick, but Vegas has a lot late 3rd round picks and might want to take a flyer on Aberg.

RFAs Breakdown
Bridge deals!

UFA Breakdown
1C - Brock Nelson. Hometown Kid that is a good size, good scorer
1RW- Brett Connolly, a good few years in Washington and should get a chance on a 1st line.
2 LD- J. Benn good defensively

Depth: Nic Dowd- RHS center and wing should be able to come in when players are performing and play well.

Also left some cap for the next year with Spurgeon, Domi, Greenway, and Kunin due for raises


Thanks again,
