Wild making changes

Garrett Hansford

GM, Minnesota Wild

(Minneapolis) When he took over as GM just a week ago, GM Garrett Hansford said changes were coming. With 2 deals under his belt, he doesn't appear to be done. The Wild have reportedly been shopping at least 2 of the teams recent top draft picks, Patrick Kane and James Van Riemsdyk along with top goaltending prospects Tuuka Rask and Steve Mason.
"I'm not going to address specific rumors. I've talked to the players and told them i'll keep them up to date with any changes that may or may not be coming. They understand we'd love to have them, but with the cap rules we've got to use some of our current assets to gain other assets that can help get us over the salary floor," said the GM.
