The Sens trade is brutal for the Wild (IMO) - not even remotely a fan of either player coming back!

IMO all those pieces are expendable. I'm not high on either of those guys, but... Maybe Ryan finds more of his old form with Bruce and maybe Matt wants to play the Avs four times a year in the future. If so then we have a 1C/2C. Coyle finds his legs again we have alot of speed down the middle for next year.

I'd probably do that Canes trade. Love me some Necas, speedy playmaking center who is a RIGHT SHOT and we add a good option at RD (which likely means Spurgeon is gone in the offseason). Granlund is an awesome player but I can't see this team going anywhere while he's under his current contract, so trading him for a fantastic young asset like Necas wouldn't be an awful move.

As for the Sens trade, I'd rather not take on Ryan even with retained salary. He's a downgrade from Nino and Zucker at about the same salary (with your retention) and I think I speak for every Wild fan when I say I am frustrated with Nino and Zucker.
