One of Greenway, Donato, Kunin needs to be moved. Chicago fans said they’d do Strome for Kunin with Zach Smith attached (1m retained). I’d prefer to keep him and move Donato, if I’m picking one to move.
It's obviously not some simple task, but it is something that a good GM should be able to pull off.
I think we need to move two of them for a center (if we have to). Our biggest strength is definitely at the wing. Boldy, Beckman, Lodnia, Mayhew, and Anas makes a lot of our current wingers expendable. Still, it'll be hard to find a team that wants to trade a center for a package of wingers IMO
Or, Parise wanted out and this was the best way to spin it when he ended up still here?The Islanders thing seemed like a little bit of lightning in a bottle. A connection with the GM, some sort of old family connection. Now, with the prospect of a multi-year flat cap, I have a hard time seeing it. The Islanders right now have $8M in space and need to re-sign Barzal and Pulock. I think that ship is gone.
Or, Parise wanted out and this was the best way to spin it when he ended up still here?
Yeah, I don't think he went to Guerin and just decided that he wanted out. But, I also don't buy the whole " I didn't really want to leave Minnesota, but my dad played like 50 games for the Islanders so how could I say no" bullshit that Russo was spinning this winter either. Make it clear to him that he really doesn't have a future here, and Guerin should be able to work something out. Other GM's have been able to move worse players on worse contracts.I doubt that his wanting out was unconditional, but I'm just guessing there.
None of those guys have proven anything in the NHL
Are you sure that cap recapture would even happen with a buyout?Any trade of Parise needs to include buyout protection in the form of conditional assets.
He's a an easy buyout after next season (right before expansion draft) any team that acquires him, and a no brainier buyout after the following season.
Both would hammer us with recapture, but not the acquiring team.

Yes. If you use the buyout calculator on cap friendly you can see it built into the numbers if the Wild buy him out.Are you sure that cap recapture would even happen with a buyout?
Yes. If you use the buyout calculator on cap friendly you can see it built into the numbers if the Wild buy him out.
Once we trade him for the acquiring team it's 800k over 8 years after 2021 or 400k over 6 while we get hit with huge recapture numbers.
Honestly, if I was a GM that needed a PP scorer, Parise's contract is quite attractive because of how easy it is to buyout. Assuming you have the cap space.
Lodnia, Mayhew and Anas make no one from the NHL roster expendable. Not a single person.
I'm just confused, doesn't a buyout represent fulfillment of a contract more or less?
If WE were to buy him out, we wouldn't get hit with a recapture. Is that because we're paying the money so it would be no different than him playing out the contract with us, but if another team buys him out, we still had the benefit of not paying that money?
That's not true at all
Right. If we buy them out, we actually still do get hit with recapture, because the buyout isn't the full amount to negate the benefit we got.
Basically if we buy them out we get to spread 2/3 the money owed over the double the length of the contract. Remaining cap benefit is paid as recapture over the length of what's left of the contract.
Can someone please explain to me how to watch scrimmageStaal and Donato on top of that. With Suter and Spurgeon on D.
