Fire up the trade rumor mill as there’s about a month left before the NHL trade deadline on February 26. In the recent past, the Minnesota Wild’s general manager Chuck Fletcher has been an active participant, bringing in players like Sean Bergenheim, Jordan Leopold, David Jones, Chris Stewart, and most recently, Martin Hanzal and Ryan White. Apart from the deal that brought Hanzal and throw-in fourth liner White, none of these deals were especially splashy. Yet in these deals, the Wild have sent out a first round pick, four second round picks (if we include the 2014 trade that briefly brought rentals Matt Moulson and Cody McCormick to the Wild), a third round pick, a fourth round pick, a fifth round pick, a sixth round pick, and a seventh round pick.
