I like it and think Minnesota should accept, though the 3rd is overdoing it. Maybe if it gets it done sure, but I think gaudette, woo, virtanen, and the 2nd should be enough for 3 years of dumba. One problem I have is that dumba doesn’t seem like a great fit (good fit, bit great though). The canucks have a pp qb in Hughes so putting dumba on the 2nd unit wouldn’t be optimal. Other than that it’s good

Do you mind making a full team? Just want to see what it would look like for you.

I could do that, with my potential visions

I like it, though I think toffoli gets 5.5.

I would also go for someone more established as a starter to play behind demko. He hasn’t shown that he can play a starter for a whole season, so maybe a guy like Raanta to play 35-40 games with him would be good. Like demko is good, and will be good, but there are always ups and downs.

Overall I like it

That’s good to hear, and there are a lot of options this year for backup.

Yeah, it’s a big year for buyers in the goalie market

So on a D pair of Hughes - Dumba, who plays defense?

I find it a bit lazy to expect Baertschi to accept a contract termination. He's owed $2.4 mil. There's no way he gets close to that as a UFA, so why would he walk away from it? Yes, I get that he likely wants to be back in the NHL, but that's a lot of money to conveniently save on the cap. Very similar to the Rangers with Hank.

Buy him out.

Not even close for Matt Dumba, Guerin wants a top 6 C in return or you would need to add Brock Boeser to the deal since he's a Minnesota guy. And FYI Toffoli gets at least 5 x $5.5m

Well Hughes obviously.

Baertschi isn’t gonna get far here with the Canucks if he stays here for much longer.

Sure, but he's also probably going to make the league minimum and fight for a job anywhere else...so he's leaving $1.4+ mil on the table. Buy him out.
