Didn't mean to upset you. Simply looking to dump salary for MIN since they're in cap hell while also bringing back assets for a playoff push. Seems reasonable to me.
I'm not upset, I don't expect other teams fanbases to know Minnesota's roster. Frankly, they don't care enough to know. They follow their team and that's it.
I personally prefer to know and have at least a cursory knowledge of other teams, and it's players, simply to know and understand what a team does and doesn’t need when attempting to make trades. It's at bare minimum the courteous thing to do, and stops people for jumping down your throat.
My point was simply that you didn't know, and that there are already internal options on hand for those spots. And that the trade returns are unnecessary.
And sure, you're opening up cap space after this season. But as I said, you're just blocking players that are already internal options, and taking TDL cap space away from a bigger add that could better be put to use helping Boldy. IE, a Patrick Kane or Ryan O'Reilly. Either of those players would help the Wild make a playoff push far better than either Barbashev or Acciari.
