The NHL trade deadline came and went on Monday afternoon without the Minnesota Wild making a single trade. The only in-season trade was an early move which swapped Greg Pateryn for Ian Cole, a move which saved Colorado space against the cap and benefitted the Wild’s third defensive pairing greatly. Between that move, the Jason Zucker trade (which netted Calen Addison and a first-round pick), and the various swaps that Guerin made at the draft, it appears that he has been able to correctly appraise the state of the team and make moves that strengthen the team’s future.
