LeBrun: Dallas and Minnesota interested in Brock Nelson

[StewPete]

Why the hell would Nelson even entertain such a deal at his age?

A home town deal to stay is not unheard of. If you want to give a 34 year old a long term deal at 7m - 8m a year, trade for him. He must be worth alot.

Buyouts go down almost $13 million next season. Faber and Rossi likely eat a big chunk of that.

Guerin can't wait too long. He has a veteran core. Is Kaprizov going to re-sign after this year? Or play towards UFA. Zucc and Spurgeon don't have too much left.

Can't really go into rebuild if you have a premier star.

Tough spot. I think the Wild are in here. Without Eriksson-Ek not a lot of size at the top of the lineup. Or depth at center.

Probably ~$12M in space next year with Rossi and another top 6/9 forward to account for. Maybe a little less depending on bonus situations.
