R Smith and A Chiasson as depth signing are adequate for Wild, I like that. I'm not entirely sure about Hickey, though, almost 3M is pretty rich for 3rd pair defensmen.
If we clear the minor assets from the TOR trade, we are left with Staal for Brown and Liljegren. That is quality experienced 2nd line C for 3rd line wing and defensive prospect.
Given Staal's age, this deal seems fair to me or even maybe bit going MIN's way, but I doubt it will go through because Liljegren is a last year 1st rounder and they would want a bit more for that.
The other question is: what does this trade solve for Wild in the end? They lost their most productive player from last season, didn't clear much cap-space with the trade (1.4M) and didn't get any closer to winning the cup.
If this was first of moves to start a rebuild, then it might work, but it surely can't be left alone.
(Don't take this as a criticism of your thinking, I was just trying to point out the difficulty of the Wild situation that can't be solve with just 1 trade)
