It’s not completely ridiculous to think that the new Minnesota Wild GM might go looking for players at his old stomping ground. Though, inter-divisional trades are a bit of a rare thing.
The lack of high-end young talent in the Minnesota system is starting to get quite concerning, especially given the burdens of the Ryan Suter and Zach Parise deals. The size of those deals is only going to get worse as time goes on.
I got to thinking and there’s one name in the Nashville line-up, that whilst not being their most well-known player, could provide significant upside for the Wild.
