<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UncleChucker</b></div><div>You're right, but not quite.... It doesn't have anything to do with him being in his second year...

In order to slide, a player must be 18 or 19 when the contract is signed and not play more than 9 NHL games.... Boldy signed on 4/1/21... He was born 4/5/01 (4 days shy of 20)

So at first glance, Boldy fits the "slide" criteria.... But he should have "slid" last year, so what gives???

There is a clause that I missed.... The player must be 18 or 19 <em>as of September 15th of the signing year</em>. Boldy turned 20 on April 5th of his signing year. So, his contract is not "slide" eligible.

Also didn't realize that Addison's contract has already slid a year. So he is also ineligible...

Beckman slid last year too.... Well... Sh*t....

I guess my only remaining question is "Why the hell is Boldy not playing in Minny right now?"

Good catch bud. I missed that completely....</div></div>

Technically,

Boldy doesn't slide because they burned the first year of his ELC so that he could play in Iowa after he turned pro once BC was done for the season last year. That's why he's on year two of his ELC, already.

A 'Slide' will only take effect if a player isn't actively already on the ELC. This is why Rossi is more or less playing for 'free' down in Iowa right now.

Addison slid while he was still within the Penguins system, then started on his ELC there. It was already active by the time he was acquired by Guerin.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UncleChucker</b></div><div>Miller should cost more than Hertl. Miller has been putting up a point-per-game for a while now. He has the on and off ice attitude that would fit well with what the Wild are trying to do. Miller is a talented, physical guy who doesn't take very much sh*t from anyone and he wants to F'ING WIN. I really like the idea of having Miller around for Rossi's rookie season next year. Rookies tend to do better when they aren't expected to be "that guy" on opening night.

However, it really comes down to cap. If long term cap was not in the Wild management's thinking, then Rossi and Boldy would both be with the big club. They are putting up over a point per game in the AHL. The only reason to keep them in the minors is to slide their contracts a year. If the Wild are willing to move Dumba in the off-season, then it could work. Or (as you stated) if they trade Miller in the off-season, it could work. So, yeah, I'd be on board. But not for that asking price. Change the first to a second and I'd be all-in.

All of that said, if the Wild are serious about a cup, then they need to improve their goaltending and they need their defense to suppress shots. Talbot is solid. But he is not going to bring you a cup. Not on his own at least. Make a move for Fluery. Run him in a tandem with Talbot for the rest of the year. Highest Sv% gets game 1 of the playoffs....

Then the Wild will have my attention as a serious cup contender.

In other words, I don't think the team with the most 5v5 goals in the Western Conference should be looking to add offense in order to win a cup. Especially when it is widely accepted that guys like Fiala and Greenway are underperforming. Get those two on track and you're looking at a juggernaut. But, scoring 6 goals per game doesn't matter if you're giving up 30+ shots to bad teams on a regular basis. In the playoffs, those will be "good" teams. You can't give up 30-35 shots and expect to win (especially without elite goaltending).

Just my $0.02</div></div>

Boldy doesn't slide, he's in the 2nd year of his ELC.

Only Rossi does.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>First of all, I don't think Debrusk is going to be a top six winger going forward, I expect his production to be more indicative of a middle-six winger like Tanner Pearson is, that's why I see equal value there. Also, Dickinson is still a credible 3rd line center option, I don't think he can be dismissed as a no. 4 center just yet. I honestly wouldn't give Haula the benefit of the doubt offensively anymore. I think he's closer to a 25-30 point guy than a 40-point player nowadays despite his decent track record offensively. <strong>Plus Haula is older than Dickinson and probably doesn't possess quite as much defensive utility as Dickinson does</strong></div></div>

He doesn't, and I can assure you, he never did.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>Pearson 29 YO is at best a mid 40 point player hes got 25 in his last 74 .3378 point%
Dickinson 26 YO 18 in 72 at best a 3rd line center realistically hes a 4th liner. (bruins have a million of these guys)

Haula 30 YO 24 in his last 69. guys been about a .5 ppg player for the last 4 years of his career. off to a real rough start with the bruins though yeah.
Debrusk 25 YO 20 in his last 59... his first 3 years he was trending towards becoming a 50+ point player. He had a really hard time with covid separation rules and hasnt been the same since.

the upside debrusk and haula still carry FAR outweigh pearson and dickinson coming back in this deal. Thats not being a homer for boston thats seeing that pearson has struggled just as much as debrusk has and is the worse player and the drop from haula to dickinson is gross. This deal would do more damage than it would help the bruins. rather just keep debrusk and haula for that package.</div></div>

Pearson's value is at an all time low. Same for DeBrusk. Their value right <strong>now</strong>, is identical.

Pearson=DeBrusk... 1v1

Dickinson is an extremely solid 3rd liner. Haula hasn't been the same since he had back to back injury riddled seasons that required surgery on his left knee. He is what he is, at this point.

Dickinson=Haula... 1v1

The trade is spot on in terms of current value for all envolved.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jnowariak</b></div><div>Let’s not forget he looked right at home playing the wing, his offensive mindset really complimented Fiala IMO. That’s more an indictment on Evason’s usage of linemates than any player. As for Pitlick, the guy was ppg at the U and was trending that way in Milwaukee. And now he’s got .75 ppg in 12 games in the NHL. I’ll take that guy all day long, especially when you get him for free (might actually be the pickup of the year).</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jnowariak</b></div><div>The linemate thing is literally because the Wild are built on defensive grinders that play a system. Ek or some other fan favorite isn’t what Fiala needs. Pitlick is.</div></div>

Exactly

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caerii</b></div><div>Not sure what you're getting at here. Regardless of how long Addison had been sitting in the press box, playing a rookie defenseman at the wing is never a good idea.

But the point is that Fiala doesn't get the first, second, or even third consideration when it comes to linemates. So the fact that when Zuccarello comes back, Pitlick is going to be back with Fiala, simply means Pitlick is a spare part with no other place to go.</div></div>

Per Russo's post game article... this is what I'm getting at.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div> Having no extra forwards, Evason and the staff decided to reward defenseman Calen Addison even after assistant GM Chris O’Hearn walked into the office and was willing to recall a forward from Iowa.

Addison, 21, has been on the roster but hadn’t played since Spurgeon was hurt in Florida 10 days earlier. He didn’t know he was playing, let alone playing wing, until he got to the arena two hours before the game. He got to play on a line with Kevin Fiala and Victor Rask.

Evason said the staff decided not to play Addison as the seventh defenseman because the Wild’s other six defensemen have been playing so well, they didn’t want to rotate Addison in and disrupt that chemistry.

Asked why the Wild simply didn’t recall a forward like Kyle Rau or youngsters Matt Boldy or Adam Beckman, Evason said, “(Addison’s) here, right? He’s here, he’s competed, he’s battled, he’s been practicing every day. He got rewarded for doing all the right things being off the ice.”</div>

And as far as Pitlick goes, my point is that he isn't viewed as some spare part. He would <strong>never</strong> have been put on Kaprizov's wing if they felt he couldn't handle it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caerii</b></div><div>He's played with Kaprizov for two games, has one assist in those two games, and isn't really contributing to the offense there. He is, unquestionably, a bottom six player who's skilled enough to score against other bottom six players. He is not a top six player.</div></div>

Contribution comes with increased chemistry with your linemates, after you've spent enough time with them.

It's rather disingenuous to insinuate he's not fit to be there without enough sample size to say otherwise. The greater guage of how well he's doing there right now is by the eye test of how well he plays there and if he looks out of place at all. Or isn't up to snuff.

By that metric, he looks to be just fine. Because he hasn't looked out of place at all. In fact it was purely because of his hustle and forechecking that he can be directly responsible for at least 3 goals over that timespan. Whether he was attributed a point or not. Once against Tampa Bay and twice against Arizona last night.

He passes the eye test. So I can't agree with you on him at all.
