Would it make sense to have Rossi be the main piece for Konecny instead of a top 10 pick?I would be Rossi is in the 3s somewhere in a bridge deal. Here or elsewhere.

Faber $8.5I have Faber at 8-8.5, Rossi at 6, Marat at 4 (but that's most likely high), Wallstedt at 2, Konecny at 8-8.5 (similar to Fiala). But the cap that year is not as plentiful as some might think. Adding Yurov to the above projections put you close up to the cap, and I believe you still need a defenseman or two.
Probably but I don’t think Philly would do thatWould it make sense to have Rossi be the main piece for Konecny instead of a top 10 pick?

$6.5M in space for the 2 "somebodies" if the cap is $92 million. Could be Middleton at $4M and Chisholm for $2.5M, or an ELC LD.
Possibly, but they better not be wrong about Yurov then.Would it make sense to have Rossi be the main piece for Konecny instead of a top 10 pick?
Maybe, but it'll only be 1 season of being a 1B goalie, or a straight up #2.Wallstedt is the one who could be more expensive
They start to go one-by-one starting in 2026-27.
Marat at $4M after 1 year definitely seems high. Same with Rossi on a bridge. I think you can pull another $3M out those numbers.

It was never going to be "comfortable", and the salary cap definitely matters. $89.5M vs. $91.5M could be the difference between possible and not.View attachment 832878
So about 6M for a 12th and 13th forward, as well as 2nd and 3rd pair LD's, and probably a 7th D. Doable, depending on how you handle LD2, but not as comfortable as you think.
And filling some of these spots with ELC's/Milne on a cheap deal, leaves you less than 3M for that 2LD spot, and you have very little cap space to add at the deadline.

I miss when he was a fun underdog story. That aura changed quickly.Freddy is just such a let down.
I was just going by what Cap Friendly is showing, as unofficial as it is. $87.5M next year and $92M the year after.Yeah there's little pockets of money you can pick up here and there. I'm not comfortable projecting the cap to go up 4M per season every year, but you can also find another 1M by dropping Rossi and Marat's contracts by 500k each. I'm not saying the cap is prohibitive and we couldn't try it, but that is the extent of your big moves for a few years if you do go for Konecny. I also want to have plenty of space for Kaprizov in case the cap doesn't go up too much.
I like the lineup I made for the most part, defense is still a little suspect, but that's two top lines and a good bottom six, so the defense can be a little weaker.

got paid, got comfortableI miss when he was a fun underdog story. That aura changed quickly.
No shootouts this year, what have the Wild had, One? Then they never used him. Think last years shootouts were a big confidence boost for him.I miss when he was a fun underdog story. That aura changed quickly.
Basically just the same as the prior year increase but a tad conservative. Probably not very scientific.I wonder where they get that number. That would make the money easy enough to find a good 2nd pair LD to cover for the fact that Spurgeon is likely going to miss time that season again.
Possibly, but they better not be wrong about Yurov then.
This doesn't compute in my head. Rossi is a no, but a top 10 pick where we would get a player we desperately need is a yes?Not until Yurov is actually a top six center in the NHL, no
At a certain point Spurgeon should be gone too, and Foligno, so you can adjust the term on some of the bridges to account for thatBasically just the same as the prior year increase but a tad conservative. Probably not very scientific.
If Kaprizov sticks around, I think you can just basically give him Zuccarello's $4.125M (or most of it) and call it good. The "problem" becomes if Wallstedt ends up really good and needs a Sorokin-type deal. Or if you're wrong about Konecny. Always that risk too.

He might be getting a chance today the way things going right now.No shootouts this year, what have the Wild had, One? Then they never used him. Think last years shootouts were a big confidence boost for him.
