I get that Zuccarello is the ideal candidate to move for cap reasons but I think this would be a mistake. He’s one of the few skill players this team has and moving him for a single year of cap relief would be a bad strategic move. He’s small but he’s slippery and is dominating right now, not to mention he’s providing surplus contract value. The Wild can’t afford to move contracts like that.
As for Weber, I’m not entirely sure how he would add to the cap space. I like to think I understand these things but I can’t see how it gives us more space. The other considerations are needing to account for about 3 mil in bonuses for Rossi and Boldy, which can’t be pulled from LTI if I’m remembering correctly. And don’t underestimate how much Boldy’s next deal will cost. I know we are talking about Fiala vs Dumba, but I think we need to think about Boldy vs Fiala in terms of who to keep. The cup window starts in 3 years, not during the buyouts or this year.
