[...] barring a trade to unload salary, the Wild's free-agent moves, beginning this week, will mostly be depth moves.
The Wild could re-sign Ryan Carter, who played well before a second-half injury. It could sign a player like St. Louis Blues energy-bug Chris Porter, one of star winger Zach Parise's close friends.
I'd think the Wild may have interest in guys like Chris Porter and Gregory Campbell. Ryan Carter is out there to be re-signed, too.
Now it's unclear whether this is based on anything concrete or if it's just Mike's own hunch, but it seems like as good a tipping off point as any for some free agency analysis.
