Alexandron Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 What is a status for Boldy? When he supposed to start playing? Just looked at our standing table. We placed the most goals so far in our Division (32), but the opposite teams placed in our net the most goals too (38) which is a lot in only 9 played games this season. Interesting, Maroon in 9 played games has 7 points (1 goal; 6 assists; +/- +1); Addison has 4 assists; Brodin has 1 goal and 3 assists; Faber has 1 goal and 2 assists; Mermis has 2 goals and 2 assists in 7 played games; and Hartman has 9 points (6 goals and 3 assists) in 9 played games. But who has the most points? EEK 10 points (5 goals; 5 assists) so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icechipper Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Boldy practicing should be a go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 5 hours ago, Icechipper said: Boldy practicing should be a go. I hope so, but not at the risk of him possibly re-inuring himself if he isn't quite there. Last I checked, while he was available to practice, the team still hasn't decided whether he should be cleared to play. Frankly, if he isn't 100 percent, I'd let him stay out longer, as it is still early in the season, and I don't think a partially healthy Boldy will make much of a difference to this Wild team right now. A fully healthy one? Sure. And I am not suggesting Minnesota let the season get out of hand, but let's treat Boldy with care and intelligence. Young man should have a long career ahead of him...let's make sure his body is really ready to go and not gamble his health at this stage.

Icechipper Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Boldy practiced and will play, Evanson said post practice today. Gaudreau did not practice, still out. Spurgeon did skating drills only for half practice remains in IR with no set return date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreaseAndAssist Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Jon Merrill scratched for tonight's game against the New York Rangers. Hopefully it will mean Daemon Hunt will get to play more than 10 minutes this evening. Either way, this team needs a win in a bad way but it won't come easy against New York.

Tomdog Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 If Merril cleared waivers and was sent Iowa would his salary come off the cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I think once a player actually clears, the cap number no longer counts. While he is still sitting on waivers it does. If someone knows for sure, please post, but I believe that is how that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreaseAndAssist Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I think TropicalFruitGirl is right. Until you get actually sent down and make it through waivers the minor league affiliate, it stays on the team's cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllaZilla Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I found this on The Sporting News The Sporting News - NHL Salary Cap Rules Explained What counts towards the NHL's salary cap? When it comes to the salary cap, there are a number of factors that contribute to it. Any player that is on the NHL roster has what is referred to as an AAV (annual average value). It's calculated by adding up the contract's total salary and signing bonuses, divided by the number of years in a contract. That goes towards a team's cap hit. Any player on an AHL roster with an AAV of over $1.075 million and on a one-way contract will be counted towards the cap as well. Any suspended or injured players will also have their AAVs go towards the cap. In addition, any salary retained in a trade, any buyouts and the AAV of a player who signed a multi-year deal at or after the age of 35 and then retired will count. Merrill has an AAV of $1.2M. So if he is waived and goes to Iowa, he will still count towards the cap. It appears the only way his AAV comes off the cap is if he is waived and another team claims him.

Tomdog Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 So we’re stuck with him, because not even San Jose would take him. That’s too bad for Mermis because from what I have seen he has earned some more time in the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandron Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 In my opinion, as soon as twitter became an X, then Michael Russo and Joe Smith became invisible for me too. They both were very valuable part of the team news. Now we barely have any info what is going on in the Wild team and around the Wild team.

Jimtown guy Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 The Minnesota Wild are trading defenseman Calen Addison to the San Jose Sharks for a fifth-round draft pick in 2026, according to The Athletic's Michael Russo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icechipper Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Wild trade D Calen Addison to San Jose for a 5th round pick and 22-year-old RW Adam Raska, team reports. Must signal the return of Jared Spurgeon. Addison had been acquired from Penguins in the Jason Zucker deal.

(sigh) Another great impulse buy from Bill Guerin. I can't see too many teams willing to claim him. But I think he might be permanently rooted to the pressbox for a while.

Also, did anyone see Joe Smith's comment that Addison said he was caught completely by surprise by the trade? If so, then his lack of situational awareness isn't just on the ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimtown guy Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 If the season were to end today, the Wild would have the worst penalty kill in the history of the NHL. After last nights fiasco no one should be surprised by that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
