Rebuild

Well it's a absolutely rancid trade for the Wild. I assume this is year 1 of the rebuild where Wild intentionally crash the team into the ground and hope to win the lottery?

Right now Ferland is on the IR and may never be able to play again, so drop him from this trade; in any event, he's not a plus for Minnesota to be paying anything.

Consider Rask = Baertschi (he's better, but just assume) and Donato = Gaudette.

Eriksson's boat anchor is probably worse than the 2021 first, but consider it an even exchange.

That leaves Dumba and his retention for Juolevi, a high draft pick who has yet to justify his selection.

'Zat seem fair?

I'm not even going to address the trade. I'm going to address the cruel prank you played on us Wild Fans.

So I get that you're trying to tank. But instead of telling Kaprizov to play one more year over in the KHL, you decide to sign him and bury him in the minors? We are basically going to hold a damn parade when he comes over here and you decide to say JK HE'S GOING TO IOWA! In this situation. Kaprizov probably gets mad and ends up signing long-term with CSKA Moscow and never plays a minute in the NHL.... I can take the losing...what I can't take is to see the hopes and dreams of Minnesota dashed in an instance.

Like I said, I'm going to ignore that awful trade and focus on this prank you have pulled on us already miserable Wild Fans.
