Who do thewild trade next ?

[Wild1414]

I know that hockeybuzz isnt the most reliable source, but they have a possiblity of Heatley and Backstrom to CLB. Got me thinking is Heatley the next player traded ?? I feel like he is now expendable, I would how ever like to see how he plays when he isnt the foward getting the most attention from other teams now that parise is here.

For who Nash?

[pidg88]

Sure hope not

[Wild1414]

For who Nash?

Doesn't say but I doubt that.

[pidg88]

Uhhhhh besides him (who doesnt interest me) the only person that does is Jack Johnson who they will probably never trade.

[Killerjug]

I'd be interested in James Wisneiwski or however you spell it but not for that price

[pidg88]

Terribly overpaid. He really is no better then Gilbert for almost what 2m more a year? Now with Nash gone I just dont know who in the world besides Johnson I would want from that team

[Killerjug]

He is definitely better than Gilbert talent wise. Sure his contract is brutal which is why I don't want him but he is better than Gilbert imo

[pidg88]

Gilbert is a much better skater, they are about the same offensively (Wiz has the better shot I think Gilbert moves the puck better), the one edge ill give Wiz is that he is much more physical. IMO they are pretty even, slight edge to Wiz. But that doesnt equal 2m more lol.

[Killerjug]

well exactly as I'm saying i wouldn't spend that money on him but I would take him over Gilbert if they made the same salary

next season 13/14 i think we need a few roster spots open for several prospects. i think the wild could trade pmb, cullen, clutterbuck (my fav),or powe to make room for coyle, larsson, zucker etc.

Very good point Dano, given the fact that all three of the contracts for PMB, Cullen and Clutterbuck will be expiring. If PMB jumps out of the gates burying goals and feeding assists then I think he'd be a good guy to trade for draft picks/prospects. Wouldn't be opposed to them picking up an experienced D-men towards the trade deadline too.

[Killerjug]

would rather acquire a good d man instead of specs/picks

[pidg88]

Yeah if we trade a forward I want a 2-4 D man coming in return. One more solid puck moving 2 or 3 guy would be awesome.

I think the Wild still need to bolster their offense. They were dead last in 2012. Parise will help a lot, but they still need a little more help.
