Pending UFA who put up 53 points in 82 games last season

 

10 goals and 12 assists through 48 games thus far 

 

Low risk add, could help them push for the playoffs 

According to my google research, Gus is expected to be out the rest of the season. He won't be doing much help in a playoff push.

Does it drop their Cap I wonder? 
If so,  

Isn’t this what the league has said they will scrutinize more?

There's no reason for them to put him on LTIR.  They can add for nearly 10M worth of contracts and still be cap compliant at the end of the season.  

 

It's LTIR cases that the league will investigate where the player is parked for cap reasons till the playoffs.

Likely, but VC just linked some stuff. Gus apparently "expects to be back" before the end of the season.  I dunno, it's only cap circumvention when we do stuff.

Even if he isn't it's a non issue as the Wild have more than enough cap space to keep him on IR.  They have nearly 10M in cap space before the Nyquist trade - ie no reason for them to use LTIR which is what the league would investigate.
