A few problems with the Konecny deal:
1) Rossi, Faber, and a pick is way too much to ask. Under no circumstances does the Wild entertain the idea of that deal.
2) Konecny makes 5,5 million a year, way too much for Minnesota to handle with our cap situation. Trading two cheap assets in Rossi+Faber just highlights this problem.
3) Does Konecny really fit a crucial need for the Wild? Sure, he'd be helpful, but he is a winger. Our greatest needs are at center and at defense with Dumba leaving. Guess who fill those spots for cheap? That's right, Rossi and Faber.
In a nutshell, what you have here is the Wild trading from two positions of need, two cheap, young players for Konecny that doesn't really fill a crucial need and the Wild cannot afford.
