IDK, I think the boldest thing is what exactly what Seattle asking for to NOT take Dumba? Is that really worth Suter's dead cap?

Kaprizov, Kirill and possibly another high cap player will be traded, 12m next year and 15 mill the next 2 years following that of dead cap space means wild cannot afford many high cap players

Seems like the best pick options for Seattle will be Soucy or one of the goalies. Rask isn't that enticing.

Haha okay. Your comment is very hilarious, and will never happen. Wild didn't make this move of releasing both players if they didn't have a plan

Not going to lie, it sure seems like they did it to *go for it* this year, because now they are paying over 12M for two players to not play for them from 2022-2025. In my scenario above, You'd need to find a buyer for the last two years of Zuccarello (another highly paid 30+ player), replace murray with a league min, and still might have to downgrade from Coleman or Talbot for those years. Not to mention that the last year of Parise/Suter at 14M dead cap will have guys like Rossi and Boldy on their post-ELC deals. I have no idea how the 2024-2025 Wild aren't absolutely losing good players to be under the cap; it's going to get ugly that year if they haven't gone deep by then.
