Must be a 1 year deal. Seems like Guerin kinda squeezed him here.
His most common linemates were Bonino, Johansson, Parise, Hartman, and Rask. He got screwed this year.He was so f***ing dangerous in our playoff series in the bubble.
Last year was good but I was expecting him to really blow up and go over a PPG.
Longer term means higher AAV, hard to do when you don’t have the cap.1 year sort've sucks for Minnesota

I'd be surprised if he isn't traded before this deal expires. If the team was going to commit long term to him this would have been the time to do it. Kicking this can down the road one more year would only raise the AAV and make things more difficult.So he is a goner in 2 years?

That means they don’t have the cap because the deadcap balloons for Parise/Suter increases by 8M. Rask/Goligoski are potentially off the books but then you need to backfill plus KK/Greenway’s raise.They do have the cap, though...just not next year because of the Parise/Suter dead space. That's the issue.
The schedule on the dead cap space from the buyouts is:Isn’t next year the main issue with the cap? Then everything after that is “manageable”? (I’m actually asking. Not trying to be an ass)
seems like a big win for Minnesota
RFAs who get a one year deal after a two year bridge deal tend to end up on different teams.Seems reasonable/win and he’s an RFA at the end of it.
The schedule on the dead cap space from the buyouts is:
2021-22: $4.7m
2022-23: $12.7m
2023-24: $14.7m
2024-25: $14.7m
(and then several years at $1.6m)
So 2021-22 is the "easy" year and 2022-25 will be very tight.
Could be that Minnesota is trying to navigate their cap situation also. I’ve seen odder instances with my team this offseason with Bert who went on a bridge, arbitrated a year, and then signed a two year deal eating a year of UFA. I’m really curious how they’re going to handle 22-25 where the deadcap is like 12-15M maybe a good time to tank.RFAs who get a one year deal after a two year bridge deal tend to end up on different teams.
The point of a bridge deal is to lead into a longer deal, if it doesn’t the team or player just aren’t into each other or there’s a fundamental disagreement over the value of the player.
They have to pray that the cap by some miracle will be significantly higher.Could be that Minnesota is trying to navigate their cap situation also.

Yeah, everybody is leaving Minnesota. Pretty soon we will have to hold tryouts just to ice a team.So he is a goner in 2 years?
Well, you shouldn't have signed Parise and Suter to those atrocities of deals. It's time to pay your bills.Yeah, everybody is leaving Minnesota. Pretty soon we will have to hold tryouts just to ice a team.
It is thought that Goligoski and Guerin have an agreement that he will re-sign next year for a lesser amount(i.e. 2M), after getting overpaid this year(5M), because of the cap situation. Rask(4M) will be gone next year. Zuccarello's NMC(6M) will be gone after this year, and he might be moveable in trade. I could see Dumba(6M) being moved next offseason if O'Rourke and/or Addison look good this year, and Greenway, if he looks like he will be too expensive to re-sign.That means they don’t have the cap because the deadcap balloons for Parise/Suter increases by 8M. Rask/Goligoski are potentially off the books but then you need to backfill plus KK/Greenway’s raise.
