Description

Nelson would be the perfect addition for the Wild and a playoff roster. But the Wild create a situation where they can only keep 2 (Nelson, Fiala, Zuccarello, and Dumba) out of these 4 for next season for cap constraints. So, do you give up 3 futures for a player who would help fill the C spot for the playoffs. Or stand pat. Gamble either way.

Zucc isn't moving (NMC) and Fiala is better than Nelson. Our blue line has looked really rough and at this point I don't know if we can afford to move Dumba. I know Nelson fills a need and if we didn't have the Suter and Parise buyout dead money I'd be intrigued (though not at that price), but there's just no way we can add a player with a significant cap hit and term
