Confirmed with Link: Jonas Brodin Extended - 7yrs ($42M - $6M/y)

[thestonedkoala]

Amazing. I love this deal.

 

[Twoods1623]

I've had Brodin's jersey since the year he joined the wild and I couldn't be more happy. I'm biased though

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Alright. I’m getting sad.

 

[TaLoN]

It's ok. On the high end of acceptable, so not fantastic, but not bad by any means.

Keep the top 4 through expansion, protect 4 and 4.

 

[AKL]

Can we please move Spurgeon instead of Dumba

 

[TaLoN]

Can we please move Spurgeon instead of Dumba

I wish we could.

Includes NMC years 1-4 and no clause for 5-7.

 

[Bazeek]

Includes NMC years 1-4 and no clause for 5-7.

Ack.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Ack.

Per LeBrun, sounds like it kicks in this upcoming year so we have to protect Suter, Spurgeon and Brodin.

eh I can stomach that, because I don't think the Wild would move him in the first 4 years.

I have zero problem with the expansion draft thing. Even if he had zero protection we'd still protect him. I'd just rather that NMC was a year or two shorter.

 

[TheeNorthStar]

So it’s really only a 3yr from the start of the “new” contract after his previous contract expires at the end of next season? That’s fine with me.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Full NMC takes him to 31 years old. Barely a blip of an issue.

It's a 5 year NMC

Gotcha. Maths.

Takes him to just shy of 32. Not an issue in terms of his play for those years, but we continue to handcuff ourselves and hinder our flexibility

Agreed!

His last NMC season will commence 2.5 months after he turns 31. And he'll play the entire season at that age. It takes him to 31.

I don't know if we're arguing semantics or what, but the NMC is in effect until July 1, 2025. He turns 32 on July 12, 2025.

We're both right then.

 

[Spurgeon]

Technically he could still be traded sometime between now and the end of next season, right? Never gonna happen unless BG is an absolute prick, but just wondering.

I don't think this means Dumba is for sure gone, but the writing is on the wall. Still, if there's not a for-sure Top 6 center available for him, I think keeping him is the best move. Our Top 4 is more valuable to me as a group than breaking it apart to gamble on a center.

No. Same with Spurgeon, they made NMC start this upcoming season. Apparently you can do that.

No. They closed that in the latest CBA. NMCs can now take effect immidiatly in some situations. Brodin's is now in effect.

 

[TaLoN]

This franchise gives away NMCs like they are candy. The lack of flexibility is frustrating.

Agreed, it's another case where it shouldn't matter much, but it's still frustrating that every big contract has one it seems.
