The Wild are in a very tough spot with Backstrom and may try to execute a sign and trade at the draft with Backstrom I am told....With money tied up in the competent Fernandez, this Wild team is in a bind with Backstrom a UFA...For Wild fans who don't like this idea, think of the Sharks with Toskala and Nabokov. Any team willing to pick up the Nabokov salary and give up a pretty decent player + a backup could have had Nabokov after Toskala's playoff run last year...This playoffs, Nabokov is in the running for MVP...so could Fernandez next year.

Handzus would REALLY love to re-sign with the Blackhawks. There was huge chemistry with Handzus and his Hawks prior to his injury...However, Handzus is a very big commodity this off-season. A few teams, including the Nashville Predators will kick the can...
