Sujet: Cap hell year one Fiala out but minimal off-season otherwise
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LNels31</b></div><div>Personally I feel if they trade for either an even better prospect or the first rounder. Wouldn’t be surprised if Dumba is shopped out. But I think it’ll all depend on how he would look at the year he is up for a new contract because the suter and parise cap hits go up further by another 2+ million. Does he want to cash in or does he want to stay on a friendly contract. But yes fiala is gone. Middleton will probably require 2+ million but he’s worth it! Kulikov was good during the season. He may be gone. But if they get rid of dumba I feel they’ll keep the rest of the defense.</div></div>

Agree with most if not all of that. My homerized opinion Is that they can probably resign Middleton for less than his value (whatever that may be) because he is just giddy anytime he’s with the media on how much fun he had getting traded here and how he lived playing with the team.
On the Fiala trade, other iterations I’ve done I’ve proposed the 2nd OA pick but NJ fans want to put you in the trunk for such an offense. I don’t know propspecta as well as a lot of folks on here (especially those who are not with Wild), but thinking BG would have some fun picking through and finding “his guys” and these two dudes seem to play heavy.

Sujet: Fiala
I would expect Fiala will be willing to sign a long deal - why wouldn’t he? He bet on himself last off-season while going to arbitration hoping to cash in and then he went out and became a top 25 scorer in the league. I can’t see anyones agent not wanting to cash a long term contract on that success and avoid a down season, injury etc.
On the #5 overall maybe but #2 no way business…if the devils have talked themselves into him then why not? Or maybe they then swing a deal with to swap firsts with Ottawa? I’ll be curious to see how it all works out as I don’t actually see a ton of difference in value this draft between 2-5 or so. It certainly takes some patience to draft a guy like Cooley over plugging Fiala in right away. (I am not sure there is consensus on Cooley as the second best pick either, but we’ll see on that too)

Sujet: Cap hell year one the run it back version
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>So now you ask your assistant captain who has a M NTC to" Hurry up and sign an extension with Vancouver because we don't want you on our team. But hey if you don't sign with Canucks you are welcome back with the Wild next season. I want to be in on that conversation. Even at that I don't how Dumba really fits into Canucks cap.</div></div>
You have the sequence of events a bit wrong but I was agreeing with your point that the deal for a one year player wouldn’t work. I don’t follow the canucks, not sure how well Dumba fits. That is part of fun of these things is fans from other teams give feedback - and they have been other Vancouver fans who thought a 2nd round value for Dumba would work. The Wild can’t keep his salary. And if you read up top there are a bunch of things that have to happen for this - of any one of them don’t work then it all falls apart. The point of this scenario is sort of to illustrate how difficult staying competitive at least with this core will be over these three years of cap hell Suter/Parise buyouts.

Sujet: Fair Chychrun Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LIRIK</b></div><div>Seeing what Sabres got for Eichel (Good player, top prospect and 1st), and considering Chychrun have about the same value, i think this trade is fair.

Robertson as the good player, Knies as top prospect (less value than Krebs) , and a 1st. They add a 1st to compensate for Knies and for Mrazek cap dump.

I know Robertson is still a prospect, but that's as close a good player as they can give, who could compare to Tuch's value at the time.

Maybe Toronto needs to add Kerfoot for more cap space if needed.</div></div>

I admittedly haven’t watched much coyotes hockey, but is Chychrun that good? It’s all upside with the hopes on a better team he blossoms? I’ve thought in other posts that he was with pursuing (Wild fan) but if that value is anywhere near accurate, I can’t imagine there would be many suitors.

Sujet: Overly optimistic Wild offseason
Some interesting stuff here for sure. I fear that the devils trade is a tad (a lot ) too optimistic. I actually think NJ was a solid trade partner before they lucked out in The lottery and they’ll think that they should get way more value for #2 than # 6 (or wherever they were expected to pick). And understandably so. 2-6 in this draft to my novice eyebseem to be a bit of beauty in the eye of the beholder and you could possibly be just as happy at 6 as at 2.
The Hartman thing is interesting…he probably looks better to the rest of the league right now than he does to those inside the building. And he has a great contract. So a team like Vegas actually might make some real sense. That said there’s a team that wears red and green who also need good contracts, and Hartman took less money to be with this team - shipping him off may be a little dirty.
You and I must have very different opinions of D-lo as I think he had exactly one good game (his first after the trade when he was ALL OVER the ice, just flying and even scored). I’d rather see any number of our younger prospects get a crack.
I think Kulikov is Dumba, for roughly 1/3 of the cost and less frequently injured. So that could work.
I can’t see Fleury and Talbot co existing.
We’re all thinking about next year already…what a freaking dud.

Sujet: Cap hell year 1 -take 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>futurehofer</b></div><div>1. If you look, Tuch wasn't traded to protect Brodin. We used our 3 defensive slots in the expansion draft on Brodin, Spurgeon, and Suter. He was traded to protect Dumba, Scandella (who was needed for the Foligno trade about a week later), and Staal by getting Vegas to select Haula. I was personally against the move at the time, not because of a love for Tuch, but because I wasn't a believer in Dumba long term since he was all shot and not much defensively. Since Dumba tore his pec in 2018, his slapshot is basically gone and his offense has gone down. The defensive blunders he was supposed to have grown out of still haven't gone away even though he's now about to turn 28 and has 518 regular season games to his name.

2. Yes, Brodin is that good. When paired with someone who isn't a liability defensively, he's able to add a fair amount of offense to his game in addition to his elite defense. Statistically, Brodin and Dumba together have a 54.73% xGA% and 54.03 SCF%, Brodin without Dumba has a 56.49% xGA% and 57.56% SCF%, and Dumba without Brodin has a 45.73% xGA% and 42.33 SCF%. In other words, Brodin does well with anyone, but Dumba is garbage without Brodin there to babysit him.</div></div>

Quick...erase that response as we need someone to give a nice return in a trade this summer! :). I agree with the shot dropoff, but am less pessimistic on his blunders reduction...I think he's actually become more consistently reliable than three years ago. But agree on how you recall this, and definitely how you view Brodin. I suspect that Vegas would have taken Dumba though as I think he was viewed as the more valuable player at that point, and Tuch would possibly still be a Wild player today. And I wouldn't have to have Buffalo fans saying I'm a fool for trying to trade for him in an online, imaginary, armchair GM forum.

No troll or stir. Just trying to think through the hard choices Guerin has if he wants to keep Fiala. I think to keep him, there has to be multiple moves. I don't pretend to know them all. Seems like folks think Ek would fetch more. And I have a hard time seeing the GREEF line being broken up. But something has to give...the team unfortunately won't look the same next season. And I don't believe Eks no move/no trade kicks in yet. Though I may be wrong.
