Oh hell, why not, Minnesota accepts.

Garbage swap but for team needs

Exactly what I was thinking. Neither assumes really any risk since both contracts end in 1 years time. Also neither team really needs the player they're trading. I'd still rather sign Galchenyuk if I'm Guerin but this would be a solid backup plan.

This trade doesn't make sense for the red wings

Wings decline, not giving up the 3rd

Wings decline when they don’t need either. Do they need a goalie yes, would they give up a pick for a back up? No. It’s possible they put a claim in on him if penguins don’t move a goalie this summer and he becomes waiver eligible

If the Wild re-sign Soucy then the trade is whatever. If they don't re-sign Soucy I'd rather have Pateryn around to babysit Belpedio/Hunt/Menell next year.
