This is a challenge issued by user NoHate. Here's how the challenge goes:

1.) Randomly select a team to trade with
2.) Randomly select 3 random players to trade for
3.) Make a fair trade for the players selected

How I randomly selected the team and players:

For the team I closed my eyes and pushed the up and down arrows for 10 seconds.

For the players I did a random number selection on Google. Whatever numbers came up I would count from 1 (Josh Archibald) to whatever player the corresponding number selected.

So in this scenario I got Logan Day, then Darnell Nurse, then James Neal...exactly the players the Wild need.

Although Darnell Nurse is a valuable asset...James Neal drags down the value. It wasn't clarified if I could add picks to Edmonton's side as part of the trade, but I figured that would defeat the purpose. So I went with an equal cap dump instead. I figured Zucc holds more value (in this scenario he waives for EDM) and Logan Day can be the sweetener to equal Neal vs. Zucc.

So now I'm left with Darnell Nurse. I don't think there's a good player comparison so I decided to trade a late 2020 1st and 2021 3rd for him. Is this trade fair?

Also...If anyone wants to trade for a defender in this imaginary world...I've got you
