TB, so are you saying trade Donato, Fiala, Greenway, Kunin and Sturm? Because they really can't trade Parise, Suter or Koivu. It would be considered extremely stupid to have resigned Staal, just to trade him away...especially since they would have gotten more for him in a trade at the trade deadline then they could right now.
There really is only a few players that can be on the block, and 3 of them are defensemen. Realistically, the Wild can deal Spurgeon, Brodin, Pateryn and Zucker. You could include Foligno, but I think his value at the 4th line LW spot is pretty good. Eriksson Ek is another one that could be traded away, but the Wild need centers and youth, and that is exactly what he is. Then there is Rask...I know the BB and Fenton have both now said they are hoping to work with him and try to make him the player he was a few years ago. I think they just got fleeced in the deal and need to sever ties now with a buyout.
So, truthfully speaking, the 4 I listed are really the Wild's best (and only) tradable assets. And they aren't covered well enough in Iowa to trade them all away. TO me, best case scenario is trading Spurgeon and Zucker, and getting some proven, scoring youth from either Toronto or Tampa Bay.
And NO picks. |
