Evander Kane to SJS. Sounds like a lottery protected 1st, prospect, and future 4th.
I can dig it.

I am yeah. I don't see the window for this team open that much longer, so I'd be happy if they could upgrade the scoring a bit at the cost of a future (even Kaprizov). But I realize you need a great return for a player like that and the reality is that there aren't a lot of guys available who would be worth the cost of a Greenway even. That makes inaction frustrating, because it already looks like a first-round exit is the best possible outcome. As creative as Fletch has been, doing nothing seems like surrender.
Maybe they can reload next season with Kunin and Greenway and be even better. But I see Koivu and Parise on a bit of a decline, Winnik and Cullen and Stewart gone and Ennis headed for a buyout but more salary tied up in Zucker and Dumba making it hard to add. Similar problems, same results. Rinse and repeat. Not all on the GM, but ultimately it is his team that can't get over a certain hump as presently constituted.
I was going to say hopefully they keep it up they are starting remind me of how they started last year winning games but not looking good but getting better as time goes on.Just because you don't like the plan, doesn't mean Fletcher doesn't have one and is surrendering. It's clear as day per Russo that Fletcher thinks Greenway and Kunin youth and skill can add something down the stretch that is much more cost effective than spending future's on a rental. It's hardly surrendering, especially with a team that's been low key crushing it for 3.5 months now. This Wild team is beginning to look a heck of a lot like last year's Nashville team.
Tampa got McDonagh and JT Miller without giving up Brayden Point or Sergachev... Steve Yzerman being praised as a god by Tampa posters
So the Loov trade + Stewart waived + Reilly trade opened up 3 contract spots which are for, in theory, Greenway, Belpedio and... is there a 3rd?
