Suter and Fenton may have a better handle on how questionable Suter's health actually is. If the doctors think he's on track to recover fully I don't think we should let it stop us from making a move that otherwise makes sense.
No idea what sort of prognosis the doctors can offer at this point, though.
We'll know more in a week or two when he begins putting weight on it.
My guess is that Fenton likes this team ok as presently constructed. It's a lot like Nashville, except the top forwards are older. He can watch tape all he wants, but I don't think that he can get a good sense for what the teams' needs are until he's put real hours in with the human beings. But they had only two players score more than 60 points the last two seasons but went to the Finals (won a pennant) and then the President's Trophy.
I think the team has a good top-four, as the Preds did. It needs a top line identity (Granlund-Staal-Niedderreiter) // (Forsberg/Johansen/Arvidsson) but the Wild has strength down the middle as that team did (Johansen/Fisher/Ribeiro/Jarnkrok/Fiddler) and a decent top two lines (they had Neal/Ribeiro/Smith/Wilson, Wild have some combination of Zucker/Parise/Koivu/Coyle).
One wild card possiblility: Fenton knows a couple players from the team already. What if Dubnyk is the guy he doesn't like or trust? Interesting trades to be made with the Islanders, Carolina, Washington (I would bet on any goalie coming to the Wild being a decent replacement, including Grubauer).
