Quoting: Nightowl26
The 8-9 players you are referring to are
Reaves, Ryan
Gaudreau, Frédérick
Steel, Sam
Duhaime, Brandon
Shaw, Mason
Dumba, Matt -- You guys are definitely dealing him at the deadline. So you are gonig to save money here as well.
Gustavsson, Filip - You have your stud Goalie who I heard should be ready next year.
Addison, Calen
To me, I'm taking Nelson at 6M instead of these players (forwards) you have to possibly sign.
Before last night's game Gustavsson led the league in GAA and save %, and has done so since mid November.
You're an idiot if you think the team moves on from him.
What's better for the Wild's goaltending situation?
Moving a legitimate 24 year old 1B goaltender and waiting on a 20 year old goalie to play next year when he’s ready, and keep the 38 year old HOF'er as well. But is gone after next season.
OR
Keeping the 24 year old 1B goaltender. Let your 38 year old HOF'er play out the last year of his contract. And overbake your stud 20 year old goaltending prospect and have him wait an extra year.
Then have a truly terrifying 1A/1B goaltending tandem that will give opposing teams fits for the next 10+ years.
I got news for you, it ain't the one where the 24 year old 1B gets moved.
