    The top 6 gives us loads of hope for the future as all of those guys are long term pieces and Garland, Necas, Hoglander, Wahlstrom have all taken big strides this year and even though Thomas has had a rough go we still have full confidence in him. However our defence is very very ugly and we are actively looking for long term solutions and we are willing to part ways with future assets to secure a top 4 defender with term. Also open to doing a prospect swap F for D. All prospects are available, as long as the D prospect coming back is of equal value. 

     

    The Wild don't have any huge deadline plans like the last few years, will probably just be selling rentals but no long term pieces. We will probably put out a list of available guys soon.

    * - The Minnesota Wild do not have an open roster space for Pastrnak. They have 24 hours from now to create one, or the player is automatically placed on waivers in order to be assigned to the minors.

    We would like to begin by thanking Ty Webb for the smooth negotiations and we wish him and the Florida Panthers luck on the rebuild. 

     

    When we first took over this organization 2 years ago we had plans to try and stay competitive and win games, but after the first 2 months of our season we were outside of the top 20 in the standings and our only player under 24 was Gabriel Carlsson. Right then and there we knew what needed to be done, this roster needed to blown up and anybody over 24 was a player we were looking to trade. We knew it would be tough. It was tough on players, fans and it was tough on me. Looking at the standings daily and seeing your team in last place everyday is not fun and at times we wondered if this plan we had thought up was going to work. But we stuck through it and while times are still tough the future could not be brighter. This roster has been fully torn down and the only player still on the team that was here 2 years ago it Gabriel Carlsson. The plan we thought up always included being aggressive in the trade market once we thought we were ready, which is why we knew how important it was to acquire as many young assets as possible so that we could one day trade away 2 firsts and a good prospect and still feel amazing about our prospect system. We hope today is an exciting day for Wild fans as we brought in what we felt is a top 5 player in the league who is under contract for 5 years at a fantastic contract! This year was not supposed to be a year where we traded future assets and we were very nervous to do so. We felt that this type of move has happened a year or 2 early in our plan, however we knew that a triple digit point producer is near impossible to find and we could not just rely on lottery balls to give us such an elite talent, we had to seize this opportunity. The big thing that made us comfortable doing this deal was the fact that we didn't give up any high end prospects or any high 1st round picks. It  also  felt like it was time to show core players like Thomas, Necas and Garland that this team won't just be an embarrassing NHL roster  trying to acquire picks and prospects forever, we are here to win and we hope that this sends that message to all members of the Wild organization. Now we know the work is not done by any means in Minnesota and we aren't just going to immediately start winning, in fact we may not be ready to compete for another 2 years but we are coming for the top teams in this league and we think this Pasta deal just pushes up our competitive timeline. 

     

    Finally we would like to personally thank fans, players and execs for sticking with us through this rebuild, we know it has been ugly but a bright bright future is on the way and we are very excited.
