Description
Since Craig Leipold seems intent on seeing this team get back to the playoffs, these are some moves I could see them making to try to get there.

This assumes of course that Pavelski makes it to free agency and Koivu starts the season on IR. I think the Wild end up extending Spurgeon this summer unless an offer blows them away (e.g. Nylander 1 for 1). He's too important to the team to lose him on a bad trade.

Values might be a bit off on the contracts or trades, but with extra picks and ~$7.9m in cap space don't get too hung up on if a deal is slightly off.

I got into this with a Leafs fan and I felt like I was pounding my head against a brick wall...but, I happen to think Greenway has more value than Kapanen...and I'm a big fan of Kapanen. I would say the picks should be swapped around here. Toronto's 1st and the Wild's 2nd.

Personally I think it should be a 1 for 1 swap due to team needs, but I also think Granlund’s return should have been Fiala and a pick and we both know how that turned out..

Think the Leafs need cap space, so the difference between Kapanen and Greenway isn't that much. Want a right hand shot, I'd trade Nylander for little or no cap in return. So if it's for Kunin and pick, heck the best offer might be for Minni's !st pick.
Plus, I'd try Nylander at centre.

Greenway +what gets the Wild Nylander? Kunin is off limits.
