Nobody is ignoring anything. You simply can't read and felt the need to respond to everybody. My response was directed to a specific scenario, so stop chiming in.

So it's your opinion that it's a fact that Zuccarello or Parise will waive for the expansion draft?
Ehh...it's ok. I know he doesn't score a lot, but he fills a role very well. Leads the league in hits, plays excellent defense, forechecks, and in general creates a lot of havoc. Skates reasonably well, and can hold his own with all but the toughest of the heavyweights when the gloves come off. Seems weird that Guerin couldn't wait to dump Staal and his 3.25M cap hit, yet hands out contracts like this, though. MN's problem isn't that they don't have enough quality bottom sixers and defensive forwards, it's that they don't have any forwards who can put the f***ing puck in the net, or any Centers that can handle the puck without wetting themselves.
Guerin decided Foligno's a 3rd line winger, AAV isn't terrible for that role, just looks bad when there's a 7.5M cap-hit that also prefers playing LW headed to a bottom-6 role very soon. Like most of Guerin's moves I don't necessarily agree with it but the vision is clear.
They aren’t trying to get younger, they are trying to get a winning team. Don’t think you would find any objective Wild fan that would call Suter’s contract a paperweight, and at the end of the day Parise was still the leading scorer. The team has elite defense, solid wingers and great depth, they have 0 centers of quality but that is the only hole. Even with a full tank, which again isn’t possible with this D, it’s not like there is even an elite rated center available in this draft. Might as well shake things up as they did by bringing in motivated players, and keep the guys that have been successful on the team. Trying to win by committee is possible, while still searching for a center.
Great deal for a guy who is a top 5 bottom 6er in the league.
Would have gotten 4 on the open market.

So you're just smarter than everyone else, then?
Why do any of you care. Wild cap wa . & will have been around 30 mil or more. People who don't watch foligno are just casual

Don’t think this is too bad but would’ve expected about a half million less in this financial climate.
A physical, big, defensively sound winger that can play on a shutdown line.
Don’t think this is awful like some people are making it out to be, there’s more to hockey than point totals.

Are you just going to forget Parise, Kaprizov, or fiala? Because what you said is factually incorrect
No, it's not. He barely got 300, 000 raise where every team would have wanted him

Well this is rich coming from you. You haven't said one factually correct thing in nearly 1,200 posts.
Billionaire's still care about money, believe it or not. If they did not, they wouldn't have re-negotiated the CBA and made the players pay back millions of dollars, along with agreeing to a flat cap to help cost certainty and try to minimize losses.
Also, you do realize that it's just poor cap management, right? People care because it's forced players like Hoffman sign for a 1 x 4 mil contract instead of a 6 x 7 mil contract. It effects everyone, whether you want to bury your head in the sand and pretend it doesn't effect your favorite team is up to you.
If anybody thinks Guerin is stupid, & just did these, this comment alone in my opinion should be speculation that Guerin has a promise or 2 from someone to waive.
