Barrie doesn't do anything for MN, he's a rental that won't be re-signed. Besides if MN did get Barrie, Brodin is the d-man you'd want to pair with him. Tor would be better off trading him elsewhere where he'd have some value. MN could flip him, but it's not worth the effort. Other teams would know they have the Wild over a barrel and get almost nothing for him.
Brocco won't play in MN anymore than he will Tor. He'll hit waivers next season, and someone else will pick him up (I can't see him getting past EDM). He'd basically be a rental for their AHL Playoff run.
FYI: FJ isn't a good prospect. He was drafted way too early (should have been a late 2nd to late 3rd round pick), and hasn't done much of anything in the SHL since the draft.
So it's really Brodin/Kerfoot 1-for-1 trade. Wild easily pass on that.
