The Athletic’s Michael Russo has been fairly quiet and uncertain what exactly the Minnesota Wild and GM Bill Guerin will be doing before the March 21 trade deadline, but one idea he thought of was the team acquiring the contract of Shea Weber from the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs captain is (probably) never playing in the NHL again, and by acquiring the remaining four years of his deal, the Wild will garner some extra cap space by having it on Long-Term Injured Reserve.
