The Minnesota Wild are in tough this year. They have piles of cap space to try and play with, but with the impending cap crunch due to the Ryan Suter and Zach Parise buyouts, they might have just this single year to really utilize it. Does that mean that we will actually see a flurry of moves before the 2:00 p.m. CT deadline today? Maybe, maybe not.
But let’s go over some possibilities, from what the reports are saying.
Trade for Marc-Andre Fleury
This has been a Wild one (sorry). The Chicago Blackhawks have stated all-year-long that they want a return that includes a first-round pick; and Wild GM Bill Guerin has specifically stated that he will not trade their first-rounder for any sort of rental.
