Description

Addressing the goalie need
Assuming Khudobin makes it to free agency, $4.5m on a 1 year deal is probably enough to lure him over to the Wild. He wouldn't need to be protected in the expansion draft and the Wild can go with protecting Kahkonen and exposing Stalock. Khudobin also could help with getting Kaprizov acclimated to playing in North America.

Addressing the center need
Galchenyuk probably played himself out of a job in the Vancouver series. St. Louis might be interested in moving Bozak to free up some cap space, so move would almost purely be a cap savings move for them. The Wild get someone to play 3C for a year.

I like Bozak as a temporary 3C solution and wouldn't be opposed to bringing in Khubodin. Maybe give him a couple year deal to be the exposed goalie in the expansion draft and then trade Stalock while his value is high.
