Ok so hear me out. Devils fans can let me know if this kind of trade makes sense for an offseason move. I feel like the underwhelming play of both Blackwood and Bernier being injured gives them a need in goal. Cam Talbot has been great for us this year, but unfortunately the Wild need cap space. I feel like the Wild asking for a second wouldn't be too much, but doing a 3rd instead would be fine. Honestly any sort of compensation would be good since we need money. I feel like this fills a need for New Jersey and gives the Wild the cap they need.

For Minnesota I think the Wild can definitely do a trade like this in order to keep Dumba and Fiala in the offseason. Kahkonen has arguably played better out to of the two (In less games played sure but better nonetheless) and looks like he would take a bridge kind of deal with the possibility of having the starter position all to himself. Wild have goalies. I think Wallstedt signs in Iowa this offseason and eventually is the franchise goalie. Next year he gets a couple of starts, The year after he gets the backup job over (whoever), and the next year he possibly has taken the starting job.

Let me know guys. Please be gentle though.

I think this makes sense
Bernier might retire because of injuries
Blackwood could use a 1B goalie
But I think a 3rd is more likely return

I posted mine before seeing this. Wasn't aware of the Bernier possible retirement situation. If that's the case, NJ would be a very good spot.

I just don’t really see why the Wild would offload Talbot. He’s on a value-rich contract, and I don’t think they are ready to give a boatload of games to Kahkonen next year.
