Wild still say no. $2m pressbox d-man is a waste of cap and a roster spot.

Don't think Simmonds is a good fit on the 3rd line. Need to put Barabanov/Anderson there.

I don't understand why so many Leafs fans keep trading Holl to us (actually I do, it's because there was a stupidly false rumor out there that we want to add players from MN which Guerin shot down). In addition to what you said, we don't even have the roster space for him

It’s more send players home. Happens to every fan base.

Holl would end up on bottom pair but then you have a 2.25m scratch. Think many teams will run with players subbing in rather than pressbox sitting a season away. But I think the 2-2,25m is too much. Wild’s top 4 is set.

Anderson has 8 career goals, it’s likely he won’t even make the roster let alone play on the 3rd line.

Holl is really the only guy I see it happening with on here though and it was pretty rare until the rumor mill spewed BS about us wanting more Minnesota players. In any case, I'm not sure he even would end up on our bottom pairing. We have Soucy on the left who probably should be in the top 4 and I think Belpedio deserves a shot on the bottom pair. If not him, we have Pateryn who is a solid 6th D and Hunt who we can platoon. Basically we have 8 NHL defenseman right now which is already too many. There's just no room for Holl.

Holl would beat out everyone but soucy. But not by enough to make it worth it.

Rhd isn’t really on the wild’s wish list.

Fair point. Read more about him over the last few days, and agree with you he will probably be up and down between Marlies and the Leafs this year,
