The Wild have some serious cap situations that need to be addressed this offseason. In fact, the front office is likely hoping that the expansion draft will ease some of the committed dollars for next season. Not to mention, according to the Star Tribune, the Wild general manager will likely be looking to make a few deal this summer. This goes without mentioning the sizable raises that are due to future cornerstone players in Nino Niederreiter and Mikael Granlund, who are both coming off career seasons.
However, the Wild got better overnight when Fletcher swung a deal for Martin Hanzal just days prior to the trade deadline.
