Wild Fans What Does This Team Need

Ritchie and Valimaki are the last things the Wild need. From the Coyotes, they could use Hayton and that's probably about it.

Why what?

Pens would have interest in both if Coyotes would take salary like Kapenan and a pick.

I agree that we don't need Ritchie nor Valimaki since we need offense. I'd argue that we don't need/want Hayton for that same reason. Pre-draft Hayton was earmarked as a player that was more known for his two-way abilities but lacked the offensive upside to warrant top line upside. I haven't seen anything since the draft to suggest otherwise so I'd err against grabbing him. Minnesota's best bet is to let Judd cook and open up enough roster spots to give our current prospects valuable ice time.
