If only!

Wow! I forgot that Nashville is retaining 4 mill of RJ's contract for 2 seasons.
No way the wild deal EEk. Breakout season last year and they signed him to a great deal to be their 1C.
A package for a guy currently in the player assistance program, an undrafted AHLer and a 3rd and 4th get him isn't even close

These Ek deals are so bad. How about Mac for a 6th. Ek also has like 6 years left on his deal so retaining on a 6 year contract is not going to happen. It's not just this trade but all trades are quite back. We don't value RJ and Byram would be ok. Our Top 4 on the Right side are Faber who is more valuable than Byram and our Captain Spurgeon. So unless the Wild plan on dealing their Captain this fit doesn't work. We also don't have depth down the middle so it would take quite a bit of an overpayment to consider a move like this.

Florida can't afford a $8,000,000 Johansen, Especially when they're trying to re-sign both Forsling and Montour.

And players on the NHLPAP can't be traded. So Girard is absolutely going nowhere for the season.
