Who Do You Want to See the Wild Target?

Chuck Fletcher made the bold move bringing in new coach Bruce Boudreau, and Boudreau has brought in some notable assistant coaches to bring the Wild the ingredients to make this a championship caliber team. So what players do you want to see brought in and and/or moved out?

With Matt Dumba, Jason Zucker, and Darcy Kuemper entering RFA status, who does Fletcher keep and whom does he look to move, to bolster the current roster. The Wild are firmly in win now mode as they absolutely should be given the contract status of Ryan Suter and Zach Parise.

The team is obviously deepest on defense with Suter, Jared Spurgeon, Marco Scandella, Jonas Brodin, Nate Prosser, Christian Folin, and Mike Reilly all under contract for next year. Dumba presents an interesting dilemma as he has the most upside as he is just 21 years old. Dumba is a very skilled player and has shown signs that he can be a real weapon for the Wild offense. He scored 10 goals in his first full NHL season and looks to be an integral piece for Boudreau to utilize as he looks to implement his system.

So if Dumba is to be signed then which defenseman or defensemen is or are moved out? Fletcher needs to be very astute with his moves to maximize his return. At the same time he also must keep in mind the consequences that each and every move will have on potential protection lists heading into an expansion draft.

So what moves do you want to see?
