Personally, I'd trade Duhaime as he doesn't fit into the 1-2 year "retool" I'd like the Wild to go through. As for Reaves, it doesn't sound like we'll be able to re-sign him given that he admitted he wants to “squeeze every dollar” out of his next contract — maybe his last — and wants more than a one-year term. That opens up 2 spots for Walker and Rossi to fill. The lines would then look something like:
Kaprizov - Hartman - Zucc
Johansson - JEEK - Boldy
Gaudreau - Rossi - Beckman
Foligno - Dewar - Walker
That being said, we'll probably want to sign a veteran F and have Rossi play in the AHL for the first half of the season until he develops some grit to his game. If he doesn't, we might as well trade him since Evason will never play a player that lacks grit.
