The Wild are barely a playoff team, Noway i can't see Reinhart going to Minnesota. I can see him going to Vancouver hometown before Minnesota.

Minnesota's not giving up Boldy unless Reinhart is extended. Then the deal makes some sense.

The rest of it would be a very strong offseason for KA. With that much cap though they should take some more short-term cap dumps for more picks.

I think LA probably goes for that. Make the 3rd rounder from 2022 Pittsburgh's pick instead of LA's for potential offer sheet purposes.

Minnesota has 50 wins in their last 82 games and a strong pipeline. Can't imagine they're off the table at all
