So in a year where Wild needs to add cheap D, they trade away cheap D that is already in the organization?

I can understand if you aren't high on Menell or whatever, but I see literally no upside to this move.

I guess I don't get it, but maybe they see Menell as the Mayhew of defensemen and just don't think his game translates. We'll see what Toronto makes of him.

Seems they are putting full faith in Addison to push for the spot and were expecting to end up losing Mennel to waivers, probably felt it was better to at least get something out of it or at least keep him out of our conference if he does break out.

No. They are going to put their faith and probably 2 or 3x as much money in Bogosian's corpse or someone similar.

I mean, you can't get a 3rd or 4th rounder for Brackett to work with? Wonder if this is a gentleman's agreement with Dubas to keep his hands off Bogo(was a Leaf last year, might be his preferred destination), so we can sign him. If so, it makes a bit of sense, if we want to get bigger and tougher on the back end.

Or just give him a 1-way deal because we need cheap defensemen.
Yeah we do..if they don't feel he's worth it...ship him out. Just because we need them is no reason to give out contracts you don't feel a guy is worth.
