After acquiring Tyson Jost for Nico Sturm earlier this week, the Minnesota Wild continued their transactions on Saturday after their win over the Chicago Blackhawks.
According to multiple reports, the Wild have acquired grinding fourth-line winger Nicolas Deslauriers from the Anaheim Ducks for a third-round pick in 2023.
The 31-year-old is on the final year of a two-year deal that carries a $1-million AAV as its cap hit. This is simply a nothing move in terms of risking any form of future, but still gives the group a boost and is just a nice little rental to cause some disturbance in the playoffs.
