Unpopular take: I think Addison and Dewar have great seasons. I very much liked what I saw out of both of them last season; especially the 2nd half of the season. They have this innate level of drive/will to succeed that you can’t teach or coach. This may be a bad take come spring time next year, but I think they’ll both of good seasons. (Don’t take this out of context; “good” seasons relative to what people are probably expecting. I’m not calling for a point per game Dewar or 45 points for Addison at the blue line with a +20 rating. Just good years, is all.)
Between Zucc, Fleury, Foligno, and Goligoski they'd have $14M in cap space freed up. Even if Hartman scores 30 goals again I'd rather see them use that money to go after Lindholm, who would fix their center depth. Then fill out the rest of the roster with guys from Iowa in addition to Yurov and Khusnutdinov who are in the last year of their KHL deals.
If they don't make the playoffs and a team is interested in someone at the deadline you take what you can while you can and they can always still resign said person
Guys, i am totally sure, that Wild need to sign undrafted, young Vladislav Firstov teammate - Vasily Atanasov. He is something else, sky is the limit for this guy. He is going to be next Panarin ( undrafted superstar). He is centermen, with Kaprizov, it will be nuclear bomb connection that can lead wild to long life Cup path!
Evason needs to show one thing this season in order to stick around: that he's willing to play the kids. Myself (and I think a lot of other Wild fans) don't honestly care much about the playoffs this season. As long as Dean can show that he's willing to think long term and work on the young players we DO have instead of playing the vets who, while probably more reliable, don't offer anything to this team in 2-3 years time, then Dean has nothing to offer the team in 2-3 years time. Cut the cord sooner rather than later if Evason isn't willing to think long term.
I'll start with Addison I've been told from inside camp people Addison is not signing a contract Will play in Europe this year and start over , he's not in love with Evason Zuggs was are worst player the last two months of the season,age catches up with him Same with Foligno They both have lost a step, and it shows. Fleur at this point should only play On back to backs, Duhaim and Gus both stay Which leads me too are coach Dean Evason, his attitude towards kids is his undoing, gone by by Allstar break Welcome Jason King who loves the kids!!!
@@kaprizovtolizardtokaprizov that's called working out for free If he was gonna sign I think he would've already,he has no leverage This information came from his camp
I hope he does, and it seems like he likes to be here (especially because of the relation with KK), and I beleive he will sign a very team-friendly contract. And I don't think Rangers even want him..
I'm still hung up on Deano's playoff performances. Maybe I'm too much of a Deano guy, but you're missing Eck this last postseason + the Stars were arguably a top 3 team in the league. The Blues the year before, in my opinion, WERE the 2nd best team in the league. Yes, resume's speak. Yes, he needs to show that he can win in the playoffs. But you're leading a team that has made the playoffs with however many millions less money to spend on players and then gets the absolute worst cards dealt against him in these first round matchups. If they make it to the playoffs this season and face a decent, but not top 3 team in the league and are healthy and we lose again, I'll then understand talks (not necessarily action, but talks) about hsi dismissal. Until then, I still think he's a top 5 coach in the NHL right now. Again, I'm usually very critical of my team (Wild) and not a tire-pumper, but I think Deano is a fantastic coach.
@@travzimmerman1340 Western Conference finalists? No… no way were they a top 3 team in the league. 🤡 Okay, let’s even say top 4. No Eck against a top 4 team. I’m not jumping on Deano’s back for going 6 games with them. The guy has taken the Wild to the postseason every year and has $15 million (or whatever it is) LESS to work with than any other NHL team. No, I’m not happy we keep losing first round, but I think it would be idiotic to fire Deano JUST because of his playoffs results without factoring in the opponent/situation. And, like I’ve mentioned above, if he does it again this season (1st round exit in the playoffs, that is), then I can understand “talks” about his dismissal; but not an automatic dismissal. I play and coach. But I’m not a homer that thinks that matters in terms of contributing to thoughts on the Wild/Coach. Keep in mind, I’m a die hard Wild fan. I want them to win a Cup. I hate it when they lose first round. I’m just not seeing the 1st round exits in the last couple of seasons as being all on Deano’s shoulders, that’s all. 🤷♂️

Dex do some GD research for once. You cannot just rip up Middleton's deal and give him an extension.
You can’t extend players w 2 years on deal
Every serious hockey fan knows this except apparently Dex. Guy has more gaffes than Joe Biden.
Keep in mind, these two guys in the video are clueless

Exactly! Preach it!
Im ready for LETS PLAY HOCKEY and BG-"THIS IS ABOUTF#$%,@G WINNING SPEECH
Going to be a rough 2 years
Keep Middleton off of your list!!!! Tarpless is the way
Declan is trying to gala brain this too much
I'll start with Addison
I've been told from inside camp people
Addison is not signing a contract
Will play in Europe this year and start over , he's not in love with Evason
Zuggs was are worst player the last two months of the season,age catches up with him Same with Foligno
They both have lost a step, and it shows.
Fleur at this point should only play
On back to backs,
Duhaim and Gus both stay
Which leads me too are coach
Dean Evason, his attitude towards kids is his undoing, gone by by Allstar break
Welcome Jason King who loves the kids!!!
Agree with most.
He would not be working out at Tria and skating with the boys if he had no intent of resigning.
@@kaprizovtolizardtokaprizov that's called working out for free
If he was gonna sign I think he would've already,he has no leverage

Amazing how little you know around Zuccarello after four years here, like how much Guerin loves him. Expect him to re-sign with the Wild.
Not if he asks for too much money, like they said he’s going to be THIRTY-SEVEN
I agree that Zucci stays for less. Foligno probably stays. The rest are gone. @@colemeyer379
I hope he does, and it seems like he likes to be here (especially because of the relation with KK), and I beleive he will sign a very team-friendly contract.
And I don't think Rangers even want him..
I think he resigns but at a much lower number. Been great for Kirill.
@@kaprizovtolizardtokaprizov - I know that the most important thing for Zuccarello is to win the Stanley Cup .
But I really hope he stays.

In no way shape or form was Dallas a top 3 team in the league last year. You've never played, correct?
