Minnesota still says no.

Philly is really high on Brink and Lindblom, might be able to snag one of them in the package, but not both. I also don't think that's enough to get Seattle to take the Zuccarello contract.

That's fine. Minnesota would prefer Frost anyway.

Brink is a wing Wild have plenty of those. I know CapFriendly lists him as a center but he will play wing in the NHL. I like both Lindblom and Brink but that return really doesn't line up with the Wild needs.

Zucc has a full NMC. So he's not going anywhere. Even if he was to waive it, to be a team guy or whatever, it would a handshake deal that MN doesn't bribe SEA to take him. Even if MN was to bribe SEA that package wouldn't be enough to dump Zucc's contract, the 3rd is the most valuable thing in the deal.

If Zuccarello has 1/2 a brain he should waive his NMC AND be begging the Wild to bribe Seattle to take him. The writing on the wall is obvious - he’s never (or shouldn’t) get big time minutes or big time opportunities with the Wild and their current and future collection of wings.
