D Vince Dunn resigns for $5.8m

2023 3rd Round Pick (Boston)

for

C/LW Ivan Barbashev, $3.4m (2024-2025)
2023 1st round pick

I had too many offensive defensemen, so I needed to fill other stat categories.  Barbashev is position flexible and hits stuff.

RFA Bidders when you bid low you are most likely just saving the original team money.

The Wild are absolutely going to match the 4 year $4.8m contract for Kaprizov?  That just saves them $3m a year for the next 4 years from what a resign would cost.

If you think your bid is a steal, so does the team that owns the player's rights.

Complaint over.
