I feel like the Habs will be in the Bid for Koivu... so He might be a bit more expensive

If he asks for more than 3 million I think the Wild will have to let him walk. Even though Vanek's buyout comes of the books we are still right up against the cap. I will be sad to see Koivu go but if he goes to the Habs it should be a great fit.

Dumba feels overpayed.

Koivu would probably only get 1 yr deals with bonuses that equal out to be around his current contract. 35+ contracts are dangerous for much term.

One of Granny, Zucker, or Ennis (buyout) will be traded. Hopefully Kaprizov and/or Greenway are NHL ready and they fill in that lineup slot.

$34m on wings, and ~$8.5m for all the centers isn't really a sustainable plan.

Staal is still a number one center, he just had a really awful season and we got him on a nice deal. Erikson Ek can be a number 2 by this time next year just happens to be on his rookie deal. Koivu is probably gonna get more somewhere else. 3 mill is just all Minny can afford. and 4th line center is a prospect or at most a UFA at 2 mill at most. Maybe Granny moves to his natural position at center but after his breakout season at RW i doubt it.

Dumba is overpaid to me... solid number 3 or 4 guy and can run a power play. But all I here is hype for the kid and that's what i think he gets.

I see them buying out Ennis next season if he doesn't turn around. According to the site he can play center I haven't seen him play center ever but I rarely watch Buf. Maybe if he can become a good 3rd line center he can make it in Minny.
