Do the Wild stay under 9M AAV on an extension for Brock Faber?

Josh Erickson

2:22

Yeah, absolutely. I think 7x7.5-8 gets it done, a little less than the deals Power and Sanderson have signed recently.

rob

2:22

Does Kirill Kaprizov stay in Minnesota, or look for greener pastures when he becomes a UFA in 2026?

Josh Erickson

2:22

And last Wild question... let's see how next season goes! Way too early to make a call on that.

Matt

2:22

Should MTL move one of its young defenseman for more scoring? and if so who is most likely to move?

Josh Erickson

2:23

Yes they should, for no other reason than they simply have too many. The consensus seems to be Jordan Harris, and I agree.

Tim

2:24

I would love to see the Wings get Ullmark in a deal to pair with Lyon this year and Cossa for the first few years of his NHL career. What would Detroit have to give up to get him?

Josh Erickson

2:25

Well, after today, we have a pretty good idea of the framework, haha. I'd imagine he carries a little bit more value than Markstrom. First-rounder + prospect + Husso gets it done, but I think the prospect depends on the first-rounder.

2:26

15th overall and Veleno? That would be my guess.

And Husso to Boston in that too with money retained.

Serviceable backup for Sway.

Bobby Schmautz

2:26

In light of the Markstrom trade, what will the Bruins get for Ullmark?

Josh Erickson

2:27

Rinse and repeat. Just a tad higher value

Okay, onto the Goodrow questions...

Rags Fan

2:27

So the Rangers have waived Goodrow... and assuming he will clear waivers, they buy him out saving what exactly?? Kakkos deal is fine.... but is he part of the future of the Rangers? What's next resign Lindgren? Schneider? Extend Igor? That can't be the total plan... please tell me there's more. Haven't heard any rumblings or rumors outside of the above...

Phil

2:27

Hearing rumors of a “pre-arrangement” with Sharks and Goodrow… any thoughts on what goes on here? Will they acquire from NYR with a sweetener? Would they then buyout Goodie so he can sign with another contender? Assuming they can’t flip him given they have already retained 3 contracts next season…

Rags Fan

2:27

I stand corrected... San Jose claimed Goodrow... did not see that coming. Thank you SJ!!

Chip

2:27

It is being reported that the Goodrow claim was a prearranged deal. That suggests there’s a shoe to drop.

2:28

It’s being reported that the Goodrow claim was a prearranged deal which suggests there’s a shoe to drop. What about Kakko (and Goodrow) to the Sharks for Kostin, Ferraro, and the RFA rights to Emberson or Thrun?

Ron Duguay

2:28

Now that the Rangers were gifted the waiver claim of Goodrow by SJ, what is their next (relatively) big move? Would they dump Trouba for someone like Justin Holl to save cap space? Thanks.

Josh Erickson

2:29

Well, I can tell you how they're using the cap space. They want another scoring winger, that much is clear. Peter Baugh, as we covered, had a report the other day that they had an interest in Tyler Toffoli at the deadline. They'll likely circle back.

2:30

I don't think there's as much of a conspiracy about a "pre-arranged deal" as you're suggesting. No specifics so far when the claim leaked last night tells me that if there is something coming after this between NY and SJ, it's likely very minor.

The Sharks obviously had interest in the player. Could really just be as simple as the Rangers needing to clear space and the Sharks needing to hit the floor.

2:31

And I do think that Kakko/Goodrow for Kostin/Ferraro/Emberson package is way out of whack. I'm not sure that gets you Ferraro alone based on what the Sharks seem to be asking for, let alone all three. It's not like they have any urgency to move him.

brian

2:31

How do the Avs navigate this offseason with questions about Landeskog and Nichushkin? Do they act like those contracts are still affecting their cap? Or do they still have Landeskog on the ltir and Nichushkin on the player relief and spend up to the cap?

Josh Erickson

2:32

They have to act like those deals are still affecting their cap. Nichushkin can't be moved while he's in the program. They'll need space for him to count against their books when his suspension lapses in November.

On Landeskog, that's obviously fuzzier, but it sure sounds like he's playing next year.

They can have a little flexibility with the offseason cap, but with how quickly into the season Nichushkin is expected to return, I can't imagine they use his relief very much, if at all.

Greg

2:33

Is it likely the SJ Sharks will use their cap space to pick up a bad contract in return for more picks in 2024 or 25? If so, who do you see as the likely candidates?

Josh Erickson

2:33

I could see another post-Goodrow move coming. Obviously, it's the only way they can leverage their cap space since they've already used up all their retention slots.

2:35

Atkinson's one, but as the report this week indicated, the Sharks seem to be on his no-trade list. Notably, he doesn't have a full NMC and the Sharks have first waiver priority. The Flyers could do exactly what the Rangers did: waive Atkinson with a handshake deal that the Sharks would claim him. He has no recourse to reject the claim without an NMC, even if San Jose is on his no-trade list.

Doc

2:36

Do you think there's any fire behind the Laine-to-Seattle smoke? What would a reasonable package from the Kraken look like?

Josh Erickson

2:36

I do. Friedman rarely fails us.

2:38

I really have no idea how to gauge Laine's trade value. I'm higher on him than most, so I'll admit I'm probably not the best person to give you a realistic answer. I don't think Columbus will have to pay to get rid of him, especially if they retain salary (which I'm think they will in the 20-30% range).

I just... yeah, I really have no clue how to handicap the return. But I do think he'd be a good fit there for the reasons I outlined in my piece this AM.

free agents

2:39

Do you think the Leafs have enough cap space to bring back Domi and Bertuzzi if they keep Marner ? If not, where might those 2 sign as FA s ?

Josh Erickson

2:39

They do. I'm not sure it's the wisest move, but I imagine they can get both signed for a combined cap hit of around $8.5MM. That leaves $10MM in space for a goalie plus whatever defensemen they want, but I think they want to spend more than that on their back end.

2:40

For that reason, I think one stays and one goes. Domi seems more likely to stay. Pittsburgh needs a top-six winger (sorry, guys, Drew O'Connor isn't it). That seems like a fit to me.

For Bertuzzi, I mean.

Got ahead of myself there.
