We wanted to get a bit younger. I could see myself signing Nyquist to a UFA contract next season... not so much for a 37-year-old Parise.

Gus is a really great winger who can play both sides with ease. He has similar ratings to Parise across the board and has a 71 overall.

Curtis wanted Parise for a while. I was initially reluctant to trade one of my best value players but when faced with the prospect of getting an even better value player back, I jumped.

Glad to make the deal!

I won't be re-signing Parise and wasn't going to re-sign Nyquist, so for me being UFA didn't matter. Their salaries were almost identical so that was easy.

What I did want was higher SC since we moved out Connor. I go from a 70 to a 79, which helps a fair bit for my PP.

Thanks Scorp for the back and forth, appreciate you coming up with this idea.
