Minnesota Wild General Discussion 2024-25

[Luceni]

What are people thinking boeser and Nelson will get?

Probably 6-8 m each? I tink there's quite a market out there for them with the cap rising. A lot if teams looking for secondary scoring.

I hope both won't come here, I wanna see Yurov first. This season shouldn't be the Wild's "All in" season, its when the dead miney expires. Re-sign Gus, Kap & Rossi and go all in 2026.

I think I'd take the risk with Boeser if it's under $9M. Rossi gets 3 x $6.5M to make it happen (which he might actually want anyway vs. long-term).

Kaprizov - Rossi - Zucc
Boldy - Yurov - Boeser
Ohgren - Ek - Hartman
Foligno - Khus - Trenin/Gaudreau/Lauko.

I think I'd be cool watching this.

lol at resigning Rossi for 6.5. That ship has sailed last Offseason.

This lineup is $1M below the cap (Unless PuckPedia does not account for dead cap in their projections).

I wouldn't even approach 9M for Boeser. He's not as good a player as Boldy, and while I understand he's a UFA and most of Boldy's years were RFA years, it would feel gross to pay Boeser 8M. He's worth about 6.5M, max.

I'm also not confident that he'll age well at all.

I'm also not sure I see why Rossi should accept 6.5M. He's already worth more than that, I don't see him taking that for 3 whole years.

 

[Spurgeon]

I'm of two minds. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing in another top six forward because our cup don't exactly runneth over in that regard, but I also don't want to sign a long term, high AAV guy like Boeser because I want to have space to bring in all the prospects and extend them if necessary. I also don't really care bout Nelson, and I'm not a fan of signing another 34 year old to ride out his sunset years here, but in theory he would at least be a shorter term and lower AAV than Boeser.

What I'd really prefer is to find a deal like Dallas did with Matt Duchene. Yes he's 33/34, but it was a one year deal and he's absolutely killing it. Toronto did that with Tyler Bertuzzi a couple years ago and that didn't go as well. But find a veteran who's scored previously who's looking to prove himself on a 1-2 year deal. Not sure who that would be this summer. Not a lot of great names out there from what I can tell.

The ELCs of our prospects are timed so that this really isn’t an issue though.

Unless you think he's getting $10M+ on a long-term deal, $6.5M for a short-term deal is reasonable.

I wouldn't even approach 9M for Boeser. He's not as good a player as Boldy, and while I understand he's a UFA and most of Boldy's years were RFA years, it would feel gross to pay Boeser 8M. He's worth about 6.5M, max.

Do you think that a 3 year deal is $8M?

 

[AKL]

Do you think that a 3 year deal is $8M?

For Rossi? I think a three year deal would be something like 7.25-7.5 at this point

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

For Rossi? I think a three year deal would be something like 7.25-7.5 at this point

I could maybe buy $7M.

Trade hartman and see if you can make the "home town guys" take a bit of a discount. This team would have 3 scoring lines and a very good 4th line. The defense should continue to be one of the best. Make it happen
