Wow

That's what i can't stand about Dumba. He often throws a cheap jab in a scrum. Real tough guy.

There should be NO DOUBT going forward as to our #1.  Unless hurt, or totally gassed - Gus plays 2 of 3 or 3 of every 4.

no we just retained 25% of his salary and got a cond 4th for doing so he's going to TOR

[ClusterChuck]

Along with Gus playing great, We supported him by controlling any rebounds around the net all night.

Dang, one of Russo’s tweets said O’Reilly would go down as one of the best centers in Wild history. Guess he jumped the gun too?!?!

No he just likes messing with fans and technically I think he has to be traded to us for the Wild to be able to retain and then we just send him straight to Tor.

Does this mean the Wild will be sellers?

For the price of $74,000 in cash and $557,000 in salary-cap retention (the prorated portion of the $1.875 million AAV value the Wild are retaining for O’Reilly), the Wild essentially bought themselves a fourth-round pick in 2025.

The Wild have a little less than $3 million in cap space left, which amounts to the ability to currently add approximately a $10 million player or a total of $10 million in multiple players. So even with Friday’s minimal salary-cap retention, the Wild still have the ability to add players if they want or further play the role of banker by being a third-party conduit. They could also add by acquiring lucrative contracts from cap-strapped teams for picks and prospects.

Thanks, Aside from the 10M part, That helped explain the whole deal.
Interesting play by BG, But he still needs to shed salaries.
