Thread: lets see if any of these come true by end of week
I think this is pretty much what could end up happening. Personally I am not sold on Revo coming back but it could be an option at the term and AAV listed.

Nothing against Clifton and I really am not a huge fan of Merrill but I would keep Merrill and not sign Clifton just based on Merrill's size. If the Wild are going to trade Addison then there is no point in signing a similar sized Dman in Clifton. I would like to see some size on the back end, now easier said then done with the limited cap space so we will see in the coming days and weeks.

Overall term and AAV is probably what happens with Gus and Shaw. I would say if the Wild could get something for Steel then try and do it but I doubt any team will trade for his rights seeing as the Wild don't plan on offering a QO.

Thread: Wild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Really? Why so?

If Wild need inexpensive players and more speed…and have a goalie to spare, I figured this accomplishes that.</div></div>

Wallstedt is not ready for NHL action just yet. The Wild are probably not going to ship out Gus unless there is a stalemate with his contract or some GM offers a deal that is too good to pass up. If he does get shipped out I would guess BG would be looking for a pick and prospect Turcotte is intriguing though. The Wild would then sign a cheap backup for the time being.

I've seen Moose on a lot of ACGM threads could he get moved yeah maybe but its more likely at the TDL if the Wild are struggling next season. I think Moose has some value but not a ton, his value is more in regards to locker room and leadership for the Wild, if he can have a halfway decent season next year his value will be alot higher come TDL time as he is a playoff type of body (as long as he can keep his emotions in check) and usually teams are willing to give up more at the TDL.

The cap situation in MN is bad but I don't think its so bad that BG is ready to start giving players away or panicking to the point where he starts making moves just to clear space. The Wild were still a 100 point team and pretty much have the same team rolling into next year.
