So the trade rumblings are now mentioning Martin Hanzal as a target for the Wild. Where I don't really think this is possible, unless the Yotes took back Pominville, here is what I think the lineup could possibly look like if a trade happened.
Niederreiter - Staal - Coyle (hoping Coyle wakes up)
Granlund - Koivu - Zucker (has Zuck played well enough to keep Carly in MN)
Parise - Haula - Tuch (maybe Tuch can borrow Parise some youthfulness)
Stewart - Hanzal - Graovac (big "checking line" with skill)
As I said, I really doubt this is possible, but I would do it in a heartbeat if the trade could be Mike Reilly (who I think the Wild are just showcasing right now for a trade), Pominville and a 3rd in 2018. Then guys like Schroeder, Pulkkinen, Gabriel, Bertschy, Downing can be the "waiting in the wings" guys that BB wants if someone is not playing up to expectations.

Zucker on the PP tomorrow. Alex Tuch making his NHL Debut on a line with Zach and Staal, which is nice they are trying to set up Tuch for success right off the bat rather than 4th line duties. Lets see Tuch pot one!
