[discussion] OEL
MIN is still doing pretty good despite having Parise and Suter on their books.
Ive been playing around with the buy out calculator for OEL. I wonder IF you retain 2 million on OEL and OEL agrees to a trade, can u move him?
Its definitely better in some years than a 4 million + cap hit and more or less the same for the 2 million + buy-out years.

I'd try and move him first. Retaining $2 million would be fine if JR decides to do a proper rebuild, as the dead cap would be off the books in 4 years once we hopefully are a playoff team again. At $5 million perhaps he has positive value and we can get a pick or prospect for him. We would need to convince him that we are rebuilding and that he should move on to a cup contender. Perhaps he doesn't want to be here either and live through another rebuild like Arizona. Who knows.
