CoGM Thomson has been burning up the PM lines and made another deal to improve this squad now.
In exchange for David Booth and Kyle Calder the Wild received Mike Riberio and a 5th Round pick 2009 from the Capitals.
"All in all we really like David he has been really solid all year and couldn't have asked for more, but we felt we are in a position to contend for a division title here and needed a top flight forward in the mix", stated GM Thomson. "Thou I am sad to see Davey go I believe this will improve our club in the short term and give us a few more options as we head into the strech run", expessed Wayner.
Are the Wild done yet? They still have two first round picks, the likes of Wolski, Enstrom that could be still in the mix. CoGM Leverman stated "This team wants to compete and we will make sure that we do everything in our power to remain competitive in the West. However, quick fixes or very short term solutions are out of the question. We want quality players coming into this organization if we are going to make a move."
Rumoured lines combinations have been
O'Sully - Arnott - Riberio Hagman - Brindy - Clark Chimera - Gordon - Tucker Joffrey - Rando
