I don’t think there’s any way either Vancouver or Minnesota consider this.
On the Vancouver side, they’re giving up the two better players (including Kuzmenko, who specifically chose to sign with Vancouver over anyone else) and receiving two long-term contracts. They’re betting on Boldy developing, but if he plateaus, they’re so screwed.
Minnesota prefers the players with term. The Parise and Suter buyouts have left them crunched, and Petterson’s upcoming contract extension would break their bank.
Overall, it’s not the worst idea I’ve ever seen, but it’s still not going to happen.
