News: Russo: Guerin looking to make significant moves

I would assume it would probably be some combination of 2020 1st, Wahlstrom, Holmstrom, Sorokin

You can't be serious?

 

[AKL]

You can't be serious?

What do you think it would be? Parise is still an actual NHL player that can score 25-30 goals for at least 2-3 more years. Ladd is barely an AHL player.

Minnesota doesn't need a winger as the main piece back. They need someone like Horvat.

True, but getting a young, local, 1st line winger is a pretty damn sweet asset for a team looking to re-build. Could do a lot worse than Boeser in a Brodin deal. Brock is also a tremendous person and highly marketable off the ice.

Adam Gaudette has played at centre all season and is on pace for 44 points, in 13:00 of ice time. At 23, could potentially be a 2C if he reaches his potential.

Guerin can also move wingers for help elsewhere in separate deals. If Boeser is the best asset on the table, would be tough to not take it...

terrible for Vancouver.

You don’t have any reason to be in this thread. All you’ve done is try to stir the pot. If you came here trying to make a trade, that’s one thing, but all you’ve done is take a shot at our fan base. Just grow up bud

I take it back after the disgrace tonight...I’ll gladly take Dumba for anyone you want.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

You don't think it's a little disingenuous to use 22 points in 32 games last year as part of his "baseline"?

You’re right...have your pick of anyone on the team for Dumba. I’m serious

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Lol. We accept one and all here in Loserville, even reformed Leaf fans.

Yeah hook me up with a 55 point winger, that's what we need

Probably 60+ points AND he can find Buck Hill without using GPS.

Not really. Easier to just keep Brodin.

 

[AKL]

We'll see if he ever stays healthy long enough to score 60+

Hope you are being sarcastic or maybe it’s the sarsaparilla talking.

Lol, keep hitting the bottle. Top prospects and a first to pay off Fletcher's mistake for five years? As bad as Ladd's contract is, it's cheaper and shorter, Parise's is a f***in anchor.

 

[Digitalbooya]

A person that says Parise is an anchor while also describing Ladd’s contract as just bad look pretty ridiculous to me. One of those guys has over 20 goals in the NHL. The other has just barely over 10 in the AHL.

Still waiting for one of you to acknowledge that Parise is actually an effective NHL player, and likely will be for at least 3/5 years of his contract, whereas Ladd is already an AHL player and not a very good one at that.

Yes cause there is no doubt a long line of bidders lining up for a declining 35 yr old Parise and his remaining 5+ yrs/$7.5 per

No thanks, we need no wingers, especially injury prone ones.

Neither is being moved and bringing back a positive return.



Minnesota Wild Have Explored Trading Zach Parise
Minnesota Wild Have Explored Trading Zach Parise

July 27, 2019 at 7:43 pm CDT | by Holger Stolzenberg 13 Comments
The Athletic has learned that general manager Paul Fenton has discussed the possibility of trading Parise at the draft and in the weeks since then in hopes of finding a trade partner. That would be a tall challenge for the GM as the 34-year-old Parise still has six years remaining on his contract at $7.53MM AAV (he originally signed a 13-year, $98MM contract back in 2012). Regardless, the scribe believes the team is seriously considering it, although there would be some obstacles.

The second problem is that no playoff teams are going to be willing to pay $7.53MM for six straight years at his age, which will mean that Minnesota almost assuredly would have to retain some of his salary, perhaps even half of it. And if the club does that, would they be able to get a quality return even then? Parise did post 28 goals last season and could prove to be a valuable asset to many teams, but would a team be willing to take on six more years of him and hand over a major asset or two as well? After all, he’ll be 35 when the season starts and will be still be paid that amount when he turns 40. That’s a tall order even if they only have to pay $3.77MM per season.

deleted my repeat post

 

[Bazeek]

Russo's been pretty adamant that the recapture penalties would not be a factor in the decision making on Parise, which seems weird. If they did move him with full retention, does anyone know if the retained salary counts toward lowering the recapture penalty between now and the end of his contract?

I agree that the Wild would not get back anything worth writing home about. They'd be moving him to free up the roster spot for a younger player.

 

[CREW99AW]

There's at least one.

and my guess is this 1 team is looking for Minn to retain a big amount of that $7.5m per or take back a crap contract like Ladd's in return.

Ladd: 3+ seasons, $5.5m per cap hit and $12m in actual cashed owed after this season.
Parise: 5+ seasons, $7.5m cap hit and $20m in actual cashed owed after this season.

Why would we make that move just to free up a roster spot? Either retaining or taking a bad contract back would effectively neutralize the negative aspect of Parise's contract. There's going to be value coming back if a deal happens, unless a team takes on the entirety of his contract with no bad contract coming back and no retention.
