Speculation: Trade and Free Agency - 2024-25

[DigitalBoldy]

They’d have to move more than Hartman to make it work.

I think it’s pretty likely Jiricek is on the roster next season and Bogosian is the #7D.

Khus I see signing for more than $1M. He’s shown some very strong improvement lately & I think the floor of his extension is $1.5M.

With the way Rossi is playing, I don’t think he’s accepting a bridge deal near $6M either. Too much risk for him. He’s going to want $7.5M+ long-term after this season IMO.

This is where signing Wallstedt prematurely, extending Foligno/Hartman/Zucc and signing Trenin has bit Guerin in the ass. This was the offseason when they could’ve really done some damage if he managed the cap better.

I think I know a guy with a $7.5M cap hit that we could move if needed to add a superstar.

There've been a few articles regarding Marco Rossi & Marco Kasper around those games vs. Red Wings in the Austrian press. Basically some of them where saying that the Red Wings are already sold on Kasper but the Wild hesitate about Rossi and you can see that how differently the franchises treat them. They also wrote that Rossi might not play for the Minnesota Wild next year but that won't be the end of Rossi's NHL career.

I'm not sure if those austrian sports journalist are in contact with Rossis management and I doubt their background-information, because they don't write articles about hockey regulary (The sportsmedia in austria is literally all about Soccer & Alpine Skiing). But it's funny that even those Journalists can see that Rossis production is there but there has been no commitment from the franchise so far. Even they can see that something might be wrong especially if u compare Rossis situation to Kaspers.

Thanks for the info, Austrian Webster.

On his podcast, Russo basically said the Wild don’t want to give Rossi more than Boldy. I think he meant flat dollar amount ($7M AAV) but I’m not 100% certain if it was that or percentage of cap.

I think it’s pretty likely Jiricek is on the roster next season and Bogosian is the #7D.

Khus I see signing for more than $1M. He’s shown some very strong improvement lately & I think the floor of his extension is $1.5M.

With the way Rossi is playing, I don’t think he’s accepting a bridge deal near $6M either. Too much risk for him. He’s going to want $7.5M+ long-term after this season IMO.

Khus might just be a QO guy. It only works with just Hartman if Rossi takes a bridge. That's the key.

It's not impossible. Brayden Point took a bridge after a 92 point season.

Guerin has already said that he doesn't see the percentage-of-the-cap thing.

Going to be a huge bummer if we give up assets for a rental this year.

Rumor: Thread 'Cam Robinson " I spoke to GM's on what the price is for Boeser" .... 1st round pick and legit prospect is the cost'

Yesterday at 1:43 PM

Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects who has recently become a very reliable source said the following in an interview.

He asked a few teams what the cost would be for Boeser.... Robinson said most teams said ...


A 1st round pick either 2025 or 2026 + a legit prospect.

He then defines what a "legit prospect" means and mentions a young player that used to be a 1st round pick, or a player in the AHL ready to break into the NHL. Centre or Defence.

He said there is lots of interest in Boeser because he has shown he can score 40 goals and even though he dealt with concussion this year, he...

So, 2026 1st+Lambos for Boeser and he signs an extension to stay close to home?

He scored 40 goals last year, but is otherwise a 50 point player (65ish point pace, but pace doesn't help your team when you're not playing). I wouldn't trade a 1st, by itself, for that unless a reasonable contract was in place. Is it going to be a reasonable contract that reflects his 50 point (and probably declining) contribution?

If he wants the most money possible, it's better for him to wait until UFA so I could sign an unreasonable contract. If that's the case, I wouldn't do the trade.
