Thread: Rossi and Boldy called up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>Honestly, depending on how practice goes. It might work, it might not. But I would hesitate to put two rookies on a line with Fiala. Because, as much as I love him, it's still Fiala. That's asking for trouble.

Having a single rookie on a line is safer all things considered, and I wouldn't be surprised if they split them up and give Rossi his shot with Kaprizov and Zuccarello from the get go. It's honestly giving him the highest chance to succeed right away. Same with Boldy. Furthermore, it comes down to better line balance. Kap and Zucc get the dynamic playmaking scorer their line truly needs and Fiala gets the gritty defensive minded but skilled enough to compliment him line that <em>he</em> needs.

Kaprizov-Rossi-Zuccarello
Fiala-Hartman-Boldy

That's what I hope to see. If it doesn't work, then, move them around. Until both Rossi and Boldy get some experience up with the big club, I'd rather keep them off separate lines.</div></div>

Definitely split the rookies up. I don't want to see two players making their debut on the same line. Eventually the goal will be Fiala-Rossi-Boldy but let them get their feet wet before diving in the deep end.

Thread: Heading for a tight Cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Diliano</b></div><div>The wild are in for a heavy Salary Cap burden. This thread is for discussing options and what everything means that has and will happen in the next four seasons. Starting in 21-22 the cap concerns aren't here yet but as of 22-23 it kicks in going from 4.75 mil to 12.75 mil dead space. In 23-24 and 24-25 it tops out at 14.75 mil dead cap. The 4 years after it only lingers with a total of 1.67 mil against the cap.

The cap will go up eventually but as of now nobody knows when that will be. The goal here is to spitball ideas at the wall and see what possibilities are out there.

Please be respectful of other people and no trolling. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion so let's keep it civil.</div></div>

Honestly, we will probably be bargain hunting for the forseeable future. Just like yesterday, we aren't going in necessarily with players in mind but a price in mind. If we can only spend so much, we can only purchase what's available and not necessarily what we want. Dean Evason and the coaching staff will have their work cut out for them for the next 4 years.

Thread: Three Way Eichel Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>And yet the new york media would have you believe that the rangers have 15 players or prospects that are "off limits" and the sabres should be prepared to take a few cap dumps and lesser pieces in return. I dont put too much stock in the media, they arent looking for accuracy, they are looking for hits. There are teams that could beat this offer, the questions are 'would they'; and if they dont 'is this enough?'</div></div>

Normally I would agree with you on not putting much stock into media, but in this article, I truly believe there was some great insight into value's and what not. The explanations were well thought out. The best proposal though was one Russo didn't share with the league executives: Nick Bonino for Connor McDavid. Obviously Russo declined for the Wild because Bonino has better faceoff numbers! :laugh :laugh
