would you make this trade for Parise for Lucic? Lucic has a similar contract value to Ladd
Parise clearly the better player, but 5 years, $7.5 AAV and $29M in real dollars. What happens if Parise falls off a cliff in two years, and you are left with 3 years at a higher AAV than what Lucic or Ladd is currently owed?
Seems very risky and short sighted for NYI.
I wouldn't make this trade for Ladd (or Lucic) unless there were significant concessions (salary retention) by the Wild
