Gus’s agent seems to be pushing for a higher AAV after the signings of Hill and Korpisalo being around the 4mil mark. This will probably end up sending negotiations into arbitration.
Without knowing what they’re paying Gus, the Wild don’t have many options for free agency OR re-signing our own agents, namely Duhaime and Addison. Quote:
>Calen Addison shouldn’t cost too much, likely less than $1 million. But they’re still trying to come to terms with fellow restricted free agent Brandon Duhaime, and it has to be hard to know how much they can spend on him without knowing Gustavsson’s number. The Wild can’t afford to pay Duhaime too much more than $1.1 million or $1.2 million.
Long story short: Gus having the same agent as Jack Campbell is severely hindering this offseason.

So if he goes with a higher offer, Wild would get a 3rd? If I’m reading the offer sheet compensation calculator correctly?

If we can’t sign Gus I might actually cry

Just like when kaprizov held out and we couldn’t do anything that offseason either
