The other idea I had for this roster was Scandella and Pominville to Buffalo for Evander Kane. Again, basically Scandella for Kane straight up. Reason: Kane gives the Wild even more piss and vinegar as well as another goal scorer. He is only signed for one year so if it doesn't work out, the Wild can walk away and still get the cap relief from losing Scandella's and Pominville's contracts - this gives the Wild LOTs of flexibility going forward. In this scenario, I would move Zucker to the RW and put Kunin down to the AHL in Iowa to marinate longer...which is probably the best case scenario for his development anyway.

Granlund wouldn't fetch that much. Gudas and one of those prospects at best..

the buffalo trade all the way .... spurgeon is way too much for galchenyuk maybe dumba if montreal throws in something extra but still dont like it even then ill take bag of pucks over gudas other 2 are nice prospects but granlund worth more then all 3 imho lose lose for wild now pominville scandella for kane and a 3rd maybe ? the trade posted pominville scandella for 2 picks and girgenson would prob work. but buffalo isnt in good cap spot next year pominville is ok for this yr but could cause huge problems next yr when buffalo needs to pay ppl not sure if pominville would have trade deadline value kane would and will in final year of his deal some interesting choices ahead for fletch
