No

We keep wally but take on a Mil more each of your two players.

Nah.

I don't think there is a price for Wallstedt right now, his stock makes him too important to be included in any trade. And as much as I like Malkin, I think it would be a mistake to trade so much potential just to get him in his twilight. Karlsson, even with retained salary, I think would also be an anchor for what the Wild are trying to do with their blue line. If Spurgeon and his AAV were not in the picture, I would like that fit a lot.

plus the Pens wouldnt even want Wallstedt, they have a better option in Blomqvist already

hard no there bud. Wallstedt is off the table. Guerin isn’t moving 1sts right now. Maybe a 2026 or 27 1st he’d be interested but not sure karlsson is someone they’d want. Or malkin even. Basically block anyone in the prospect pool from coming up in the organization.

This confuses me for a lot of reasons.

The odds of Geno and EK65 being traded are lower than the odds that the Pens make the playoffs this year. Stop it.
The only person you can convince to retain that much salary for so long is Mike Grier.
I'm not sure the Wild can make this work from a cap perspective until the Parise and Suter buyouts stop costing $7M+ each a season.
Why would the Wild consider moving Wallstedt? Also, Blomqvist has looked good this season and the Pens could skater prospects more.

I don't know much about Blomqvist, he must be pretty highly touted though eh?

Basically Finnish Wallstedt. Has been great for Wilkes in his first NA season.

Huge big massive no

Nice, hope he works out. Wallstedt sadly has had an awful baby Wild team in front of him this year; hope to see him sooner than later on the big club.
