<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Prime_Jimbo</b></div><div>3 firsts ain't pennies. And of course I noted it was be a huge ask so take the deal with a grain of salt.

Cap is going up 1m next year and might not get the huge leap in two years as expected given some revenue streams drying up with some broadcast markets.

Boldy contract is big leap. Guess you forgot? Either way, find 9 players that will be effective for 12m to fill out the roster? Maybe you get a big leap from Addison or Faber, it will be a different year next year. There are important depth guys and defenseman that aren't coming back to Minni and the West may not be as weak.</div></div>

The only important players MN could/should lose this offseason are Dumba and Freddy G. The rest are just less than $1m/yr plugs. They have a decent enough prospect pool that it's fair to guess at least a couple of ELCs make NHL pushes in the next couple of seasons. There are lots of dime a dozen league players floating around every offseason.

Sujet: My Take on Playoff Lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jnowariak</b></div><div>This is just really confusing to me. You’re right that Klingberg should be in Addison’s role but I haven’t seen why we felt it was appropriate to find a replacement for him. I’m in the boat that Klingberg should be a marginal improvement on Addy but I haven’t seen what the coaches have apparently seen.

Just confused by carrying 8 D.</div></div>

Addison (before his benching) was a complete non entity in the o-zone. You'd think he was Brodin playing under Yeo with how quickly he retreated from the o-zone if there was any type of pressure on the puck. Him just not being anywhere near the blue line killed so many possessions. His d-zone game is a noted hazard. He adds nothing but a warm body 6D to the team.

Carrying 8D makes plenty of sense if you remember last year STL was down to their 8/9/10 d-men in the Playoffs. MN had Goli, Addison, and Mermis in a game not too long ago. Brodin is out currently and Spurgeon hasn't had his annual injury yet.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drmantalban</b></div><div>This is somewhere between next game and playoffs. They need to rest, but I don't anticipate them being on the shelf until literally game 1.

This would be the team 1-2 weeks from now for the remainder of the year (assuming no other injuries).</div></div>

I think both of Foligno and Brodin are more injured than what has been said. Sit them until April 1st and see where they are in the standings. Get them a few games to knock the rust off before the Playoffs start and role from there.

The WC spot that plays the Pacific is the spot I want to be in for the Playoffs. MN has better goalies than all of those teams and none of them are very good. Both DAL and WIN have better goalies than MN. COL if they can get healthy is just better overall.

Sujet: seems like something GMBG would do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DollaDollaBillKirill</b></div><div>L deadline tbh. Maybe lafferty for the 2024 2nd. Schenn not worth a 2nd our D has been good. I would use Addison for a better asset.</div></div>

The d-corps is very shallow and the 6D needs to be upgraded over Addison/Goli. Well it really needs an upgrade over Middleton and push him down the lineup.

I don't think Addison has more than a 2nd in value. He's small and not good for anything other than the PP, and he's not even a scoring threat on the PP. There isn't much of a market for him (imo). Many other teams have a similar or better options of his skillset already on their team.

These aren't my ideal trades (I wanted Horvat or ROR), but they are things I can see GMBG doing.
