Moreso Hansen.
yeah I just asked Russo and he said to this to me with all due respect, I told him the latter(sekeres).I told him it probably requires the Canucks to take a expansion draft player back (ie Scandella).It's the only way I could see the wild really being involved in this.
If Hansen was an expiring contract he'd be great but I'm pretty sure he has one more year.

So Scandella for Burrows?? not sure if I like that move
No were looking at Hansen I believe ducks are more looking at Burrows
Anyone know why Hansen has only played 27 games this year?
I actually think Dumba + Tuch for Hansen + Stetcher + Nuck's 2nd (or 1st swap) wouldn't be bad.Fletcher can't trade Scandella because then he loses what little bargaining power he has left with Vegas. Unless he's just re-signed to losing Brodin or Dumba, in which case our D next year would be:
Suter-Spurgeon
Brodin-Folin
Olofsson-Prosser
Which is downright awful. If we're going to trade a defenseman before the draft (and before the playoffs) it has to be involving another defenseman coming back.
So Scandella + ? for Stecher + Hansen? That's about the only deal that makes sense. Roll the rest of the year with:
Suter-Spurgeon
Brodin-Dumba
Olofsson-Stecher
Expose whichever one of Dumba or Brodin doesn't cut it, and have Stecher or Olofsson step up into that spot next year.
Of course this won't happen because Vancouver won't trade Stecher.
The narrative that people push on here, I swear. The fact that Dumba is not better than our other dmen defensively does not mean he's bad. Those guys are all excellent defensively. At this point he makes no more or less mistakes than most other defenseman in the league.
I dont know if I like Scandella for Hansen either
Of course not. It's appalling value for the Wild. Only works if VAN send a 2nd back, and even then...Hansen is 36 yo. I know Scandella didn't have a great game against CHI, but really, trading for Hansen is insane.
Like the Skille idea.
Hansen has a modified NTC? Does that mean we have to protect him?
I actually think Dumba + Tuch for Hansen + Stetcher + Nuck's 2nd (or 1st swap) wouldn't be bad.
Stetcher slots in as a protected RHD. He would look good next to Brodin or Olofsson. He is $1.5 million less expensive than Dumba next season.
Hansen upgrades the Wild's current group of forwards.
Wild then has ability to bait Vegas into taking Scandella in exchange for also getting Haula.
We then have money to re-sign Granlund and Nino with ease.
3rd line center next year is Coyle or JEE.
We get a high 2nd.
Hansen is 30. Burrows is 35.
Listening to the podcast it sounds like Eriksson Ek could be an option to come back. Maybe signing Kunin ().

As in, Ek could be going to Vancouver in exchange for Hansen? Or am I misunderstanding?
As in adding him back to our roster after his season is over in Sweden.
Ok good. Yeah we should probably do that instead of trading for someone.
