I think the reason Minny is looking to move Addison is because they can't pay him, so I doubt the return they want is a $3 Mil player for the bottom 6.

Downgrade the 2nd and remove Brannstrom

Make that second a 3rd and you have a deal in the Wings trade

Could be the case, they also need some depth offensively though, might be able to move some guys out to free the space.

Sens fans are saying its not enough in the Detroit proposal, I don't know, I think it seems pretty fair across the board

The whole point of trading Addison would be to shed cap. Even if we could take on Joseph, why are the Wild adding a pick here?

They are dropping the last pick in the second round for one that is going to be higher next year and a 4th on top of it. And there are a couple contracts that could probably be moved on the Wild sides to make this a better situation for them with better depth.

We won’t include Brannstrom. He’s worth more than we’d trade him for. He’s been very good. We also don’t want zadina

Addison straight up should be worth at least a 2nd, and even then I'd be disappointed if we don't get a late 1st. He's a good player, Dean just had no time for him for some stupid reason. I think we'll really regret trading him, assuming we do.

Sure there's a few cap moves we could make but when you have $14M in dead cap space you can't afford to have a $3M player who would likely be on our 4th line.

Minnesota isn't paying for your capdump for one year..so no Minnesota isn't adding a 2nd. You would be fir a 3mil 3/ 4th line winger cap dump

If both sides are equally unhappy then you know it’s about right.
