I'm thinking Buffalo would take that.

Very close, can Granlund play wing?

Yep!!!!!...and he is better than Kane!!!!

I like Kane and his physical game. His red flags concern me. Not just the off ice things, it's his health. In 8 seasons the 74 games is the most he's played (he did play every game of the lockout year). If he's going to miss 10-20 games a year that lowers his value.

Parise on 1 leg, and Kane out doesn't sound like a recipe for success for a season. Parise and Vanek were both out against Dallas 2 years ago. Parise and Kane (potentially) out for a different Playoff run sounds like another 1 and done.

No thanks on Kane. Michael Russo (Wild beat writer for fans who don't know) reported in his podcast that Dumba is the most likely trade candidate. Dumba will fetch a bigger return than Brodin. Plus with Brodin we know what we are getting from him and he has term left on his deal. I am a strong believer in Reilly and I think he can step in for Dumba to be that offensive presence, although the physical game is not there. I think all the Wild are interested in getting is cheap, ELC players or high picks in return for Dumba. There is no need to create a jam of forwards, especially those with big dollars and long term. Overall no thanks on Kane, although he could bring a lacking element to this team... it just doesn't make sense at this time IMO.

i cannot see kane signing for that. he is making 6 now, aav around 5.25, if he is signing for less than that, it will be on the ufa market when 31 teams tell him hes not worth it. i would risk 31 gms telling me im not worth it rather than volunteering to take a pay cut a year early.

Granlund is a wing.

Upon further review, I don't think I asked for enough in return. Take out the 2nd and add Jake McCabe.
