Maybe the league office is using the same software that crashed and burned earlier today on these very boards.

I'm happy for Rask. Wild showing him some respect, he doesn't belong in the minors.
I will offer this.....If you can get Fiala to sign for 6M (which I seriously doubt), you can squeeze him in, if you are only using 4M or so on goalies, and if Middleton signs cheap (there is almost zero chance any of that happens, however).
Instead I look for a Fiala+ with some 3m cap number or so coming back, this summer.

Meh they are fine... Bjugstad, Dewar, Jost, and Rask etc in a C spot are all basically spiderman meme at worst in different C positions with slightly different tradeoffs.
If you look down to Iowa... Rossi really struggled during Rask's tenure and was bumped down ice time, linemates, etc. That's another topic but worth it to not have to deal with that at a minimum.

They won’t go more than a year at a time with him I bet, but likely that they do look to bring him back if things go well.

Did anyone hear the comment on 32 Thoughts podcast a couple weeks ago where Russo asked one of them if they had heard anything about the Wild taking on Shea Weber's LTIR contract?
Could that be a solution to keeping both Dumba and Fiala? Something like sign Fleury for near league minimum, trade Talbot, play our first game shorthanded then call up 3-4 players (Rossi, Beckman, etc.) from the AHL once Weber is officially on LTIR.

I believe the consensus here was that Russo was incorrect on how that would work and thus wouldn't help us at all.
Yes, and Russo himself later said the information was incorrect.

Friedman also came out and said he misunderstood how it works himself in a subsequent 32 Thoughts article

Wild should trade for Dadanov. We've got the capspace to eat it for the rest of the season, get a fun new first round pick(plus probably) and he'd probably be better than anything else we can get next year as a Fiala replacement.
Boldy-Rossi-Dadanov 3rd line.

Who else do we have to replace Fiala? He's got good underlying numbers, but a piss poor on ice shooting percentage which appears to be suppressing his assists. Still puts the puck in the net well.
We could afford 5m for a year, and to get a first out of it? Why not. Could do worse.

This aged like milk. Because that's exactly where Seattle placed him upon his arrival.
