This where I disagree with what will happen. If you are trading Dumba plus some stuff and taking on more money it better not be for a potential 1C. It better be bona fide 1C. I personally don’t see this happening.
More likely to trade Dumba and a pick for a potential/future/young 1C that should not cost more than Dumba on their current contract anyway.
Dumba for Trocheck last spring is looking pretty good right now, but who saw Trocheck lighting it up this year like he is. Certainly seems like trade the market has gone stale for Dumba. But they do NEED to trade him before the Xpac draft or else it’s bye bye Foligno or Greenway. Here’s to hoping a trade happens and Seattle is left with Soucy.
How much salary and term do you see KK and Fiala getting?
I can’t see Fiala getting over $6 per year.
I think KK is the more interesting one of the two because do you try and lock him down long term to push out as far as you can his RFA status? If you do that its going to be higher $ per year I would think than you may value you him now.
It would be nice to get these to somehow coincide with when Parise/Suter come of the books.
Fiala contract is a big question mark to me, probably hinges on how this season plays out… he just continues to be inconsistent and a bridge deal is not an option.
I think KK97 has 3 more seasons until UFA so either they go 2 year bridge at $5m-$6m or long term around $8m.
I’m terrible at predicting contracts so this might be all way off base.
