Filip Gustavsson, their goalie. That’s one other man that they’re going to need to re-sign earlier than then as properly. Is it secure to say that with (Marc-Andre) Fleury gone, that (Jesper) Wallstedt computerized, he’s going to be developing because the backup subsequent 12 months?”
Michael Russo: “Yeah, they signed Cal Petersen as their quantity three. They did give a a method deal, however they’re totally intending on sliding him by way of waivers and having him go all the way down to Iowa.

That’s the kind of contract Dylan Strome and Anton Lundell have. Precise AAV. And he turned it down and rejected it.
He had a 24-goal, 60-point season in solely his second full 12 months. And so that you take a look at the comparables, and he most likely deserves considerably greater than what the Wild are providing.

And I feel he’s just a little frightened about signing some type of bridge deal proper now to a lesser worth, after which getting buried and never having the ability to actually show himself totally over the time period of that bridge deal and hit that house run contract subsequent time. So it’s going to be actually fascinating the place this goes proper now.
