I do think he is around a 3rd round pick, but the Lightning is not the team that would want him as they can get a Quality Vet for Cheap or Bring up Hugo from the AHL

True. They could sign someone like Craig Anderson if he doesn't retire or a Jaroslav Halak
Filip Gustavsson leads the league in GAA (1.69) and is top 5 in save % (.938) since November 19th. He has been fantastic for Minnesota and is making Dorion look like an idiot.
Why in the **** would we move him?
Even if Wallstedt is ready for NHL action as a backup next season, he can be kept down in the AHL for a extra year and be allowed to overbake. Which is never a bad thing with prospects.
Wallstedt is only 20 years old.
Gustavsson is 24, and is arguably taking Fleury's role as starter,
this season. Keeping him as the future 1B and the potential of a Wallstedt/Gustavsson tandem is too tempting of a scenario for Minnesota to ignore. Our goaltending at the NHL level would basically be set for the next decade plus.
A little common sense, please, people.
