that mustache alone gets him 4M a year.I like the player and hopefully the future contract, too. 20 game tryout to become a sun $3.5M top 4 defensemen?
Potential path to being able to handle moving on from Dumba while we wait for O'Rourke/Hunt/Lambos/etc?

Idk I can’t see a world where we trade Dumba over Fiala. But tbh I’m really stoked about the idea of Middleton playing with Spurgeon and re-signing at under $3m for a few more years.I was just thinking that. Probably doesn't have the offense that Dumba does, but probably better defensively?
Even if he does get $3m/year (which I think would be gratuitous), that's 1/2 the salary of Dumba. Potentially keeping the door open for Fiala?
Doesn’t work, forgot to include buyouts. We’re unable to make it under the cap even adding a minimum contract. Maybe trade Talbot and try to re-sign MAF for like 2.75 and bring up Hunter Jones as the 2nd goalie. Then you barely make it. Hell trade Gaudreau and make a run at Meyers and save another 300k. But you need to also figure in Rossi. Fiala has to come in 6.5 or less or it can’t happen. Or Middleton needs to come in at 2.5.I was just thinking that.

Just did some math. This is assuming that Fiala will get $7m/yr and Middleton will get $3m/yr:

Of course this only equates to players that are currently under contract, with the exception of Fiala.
You're right. Let me add those into the equations.Doesn’t work, forgot to include buyouts. We’re unable to make it under the cap even adding a minimum contract. Maybe trade Talbot and try to re-sign MAF for like 2.75 and bring up Hunter Jones as the 2nd goalie. Then you barely make it. Hell trade Gaudreau and make a run at Meyers and save another 300k.
We may not have the best team, but we'll have the best looking team.that mustache alone gets him 4M a year.

Brodin and Spurgeon don't have a great record together. I'd keep Brodin and Dumba together as they seem to have great chemistry together.I got to wonder if Brodin-Spurgeon, Middleton-Dumba would be a better combo.

Middleton might be the new Scandella next to Spurgeon though, which could be good. If not, then Middleton at least upgrades the bottom pair.

What is the conceptual difference between Middleton & Mermis?
IMO, net front clearing, size and toughness.Question

Goligoski's point totals give lie to his overall play. Too bad about the NMC, because we probably could've fooled someone into taking him for a nice return. The guy is slow and weak...sort of like a poor man's Suter.I am with, TaLon in keeping Dumba and Brods together for now, but am excited to see him with Spurgeon if that's the route we go. I'm sure Goligoski is a nice dude but he has been an utter disaster in this top 4 for the last few months, but would be a good 3rd pairing guy if Middleton can be an upgrade next to Spurgeon.
Size and toughness. Mermis is a #6/7. Middleton a #5, hopefully. I think it is optimistic thinking that he can be a #4 beside Spurgeon, and even more being a Dumba replacement. I don't think Middleton has anything like Dumba's skating or puck handling abilities.Question

I would've agreed. Was hoping it was Merrill being taken out. Dean thinks otherwise for now anyway.I thought Kulikov was better than Merrill or even Goligoski. Shows what I know.
