While much focus has been put on the Wild's goaltending duo, it is more likely that the team trades one of its many defensemen by the time the trade deadline pops up.
According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, blueliners Willie Mitchell and Filip Kuba are top candidates to be dealt, along with Andrei Zyuzin and Daniel Tjarnqvist.
Mitchell, the best among the four defensemen who can become unrestricted free agents, is a player the Wild would want to re-sign this summer, but he is not untouchable, the paper claims.
Wild GM Doug Risebrough already has received calls from teams seeking to supplement their rosters.
The Vancouver Canucks, Tampa Bay Lightning, Toronto Maple Leafs and Colorado Avalanche are among the many teams looking for help on the blueline.
