Sujet: Who wins risky trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AlTintin1122</b></div><div>Yeah that’s the problem with moving Pinto. You wanna move him to get cap compliant you probably have to move him for something unproven which doesn’t make sense</div></div>

Any idea what Pinto is asking for?

The cap compliance issue is a huge problem for Minnesota. They need a player like Rossi at his cap hit to produce for them to do much this year and they're currently sitting at $1.6m left to sign Addison and hopefully bank some cap space to eventually make room for injury callups or a cheap deadline trade. Even if they'd upgrade making this trade, it forces them to try to find a way to move cap somewhere else to make space for Brannstrom and Pinto which means they'd likely be downgrading somewhere else. Kind of a no-win situation at least for this year.

Sujet: FINAL moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>Honestly, I think Minnesota moves Addison to solve their cap woes before they move Foligno. He's got an "A" and isn't overly expensive, plus he's a fan-favorite. With Faber and Spurgeon on the right, Addison might be 3RD anyway.</div></div>

Moving Foligno to clear cap made sense back in July when you could still get a free agent on a 1 year bargain contract, but since everyone is basically signed that could help the Wild more than Foligno could (if healthy), just keep him at this point. They could certainly make a trade, but why? They have $14m in dead cap, so there's no reason to use any meaningful assets to try to improve the team when you're handcuffed to start with. At least next year they have some roster flexibility with a lot of cap coming off the books and the cap expected to rise more than $1m.

Addison will get signed eventually or they'll replace him with someone until he does sign. There's no offer sheet coming, he was benched for a lot of last season including the playoffs so what are his options at this point? Given he's a PP QB that needs sheltered minutes, he'll likely play on the 3rd pair with Goligoski or Merrill while Faber plays 2nd pair with Brodin.
