According to CapFriendly.com they have $1.7M in cap space now...   They need to stop with the NTC/NMC's...but I'm guessing Zucker wanted more $$$, so they threw a NMC at him in exchange for taking less money...

If I were to compare him to players I would say he is a mix between Gaborik (speed and willingness to shoot) and Parise (smaller size and hard working). He might not be on the same level as those players, but for that price I'm glad to have him on board.

Over the last three Playoffs, the Wild's top six look pretty bad   Name Games Goals Assists Shots Plus/Minus Parise 8 5 1 24 -4 Koivu 16 4 7 33 -3 Coyle 16 3 1 37 -8 Granlund 16

But doesn't that just epitomize Minnesota Nice! 🤣

The majority of Fletchers many roster moves did not involve input from any players.
