- Ian Mendes and Shayna Goldman of The Athletic assess (subscription link) the remaining restricted free agents around the NHL including Wild blueliner Calen Addison. Last month, it was reported that the team hopes Addison would either take his qualifying offer worth $787.5K or sign for close to it. However, the contract various projection models place his value closer to twice that value. Minnesota has around $1.6MM in cap space at the moment per CapFriendly but also needs to keep some money for in-season movement. Signing Addison for what the models value him at – which could be what his camp is seeking – would certainly limit their in-season flexibility.
