Thread: Wild 2017/2018
1. Praise will not be bought out for a long time if ever. If they bought him out today they would have a ~$2 million cap penalty until 2033 and in 2023 and 2024 the cap hit would be $8,413,000 because idk buyouts are weird and dangerous but its more than his current cap hit.
2. Why re-sign Kuemper? He had and awful season and has played his way out of the NHL.
3. Nino and Granny or bother underpaid I see them having a cap hit closer to 6+
4. Why would you every buy out Mikko Koivu he may be a little overpaid but he is one of the best 2-way centers in the league. Why would u buy him out he only has next year on his contract.
5. On defense the Wild sign Folin and Prosser to under a mill and Prosser to league minimum to fill in the 6 spot.
6 . Vegas Pick
7.Wild don't need to sign FA depth they have plenty in Graovac, Haula, Schroeder.
8. DON'T buy out Stewart. Overpaid? maybe? not to me and why take a $400,000 cap hit to sign another depth guy who isnt going to play better than stewart?
9. You bank on Kunin playing a top-6 role and he has never even seen NHL action or AHL action. I think Tuch will make the roster next year but this year he had 0 pts and was -3 in six games, you can't bank on him playing a role next year although I think he can.

Thread: Nino or Granny
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiaPetty</b></div><div>With the expansion draft I assume you would protect 7F/3D/1G, I think that you could get more for Grandlund (because he is a young center), that would free up a forward protection spot. Personally I would rather leave Eric Staal exposed to protect both of them. That doesn't solve the problem on Defense where the Wild are likely losing one of Spurgeon, Brodin, or Dumba.</div></div>

I think the Wild would be crazy to expose Staal considering the season he had and the contract he is on (I understand you suggesting it though but even with Staal gone I still don't see them getting under the cap. I think them trading Nino is the best way to go has Granlund is a young center and will begin to get top 2 center time as Koivu and Stall age. But I would be careful as he had this breakout season at the wing and hasn't proven himself at center but think he will. As for the expansion draft I think Wild protect Suter, Spurgeon, and Brodin; and lose Dumba.
