So, Russo feels the Blackhawks are ready to trade for a defenseman, they want a puck mover and a gritty guy, and the Wild are scouting the Hawks. This all sounds really good. But does anything come from it? GMs talk. They talk a great deal. They are always... talking. The word normally used is "discussions" are being had. If you jumped up and down every time two GMs had "discussions," you'd be Eklund.
However, when the source is credible, things can become at least somewhat worthy of discussion. The question becomes... what do the Wild want in return? Picks? Players? Prospects? Nick "The Savior" Leddy?
