    The Minnesota Wild have had a busy couple of weeks but they might not be done. According to TSN's Chris Johnston on Tuesday's episode of Insider Trading, the Wild might just be one of the few teams who are looking into signing unrestricted free agent forward Jack Roslovic.

     

    Roslovic is an interesting case. He has been linked to several teams but still remains unsigned with the season started. Whether it was waiting to get a better deal than whatever he was being offered or the right team to be sending him a contract, it appears that he's lost some opportunity to be on a roster for the opening days of the season.

    So, could the Wild get a potential deal on a forward who just had a career year? Maybe. As Johnston mentions, Minnesota could use a forward after the injuries to Mats Zuccarello and Nico Sturm, and relying on players like Vinnie Hinostroza to be part of the replacement.

    The Wild have over $3.5 million in cap space according to PuckPedia, so something could be worked out if they're interested. There is also space on the roster with them having 13 forwards but with recently recalled youngster Hunter Haight and the potential of Hinostroza being a healthy scratch. 

    We'll see where it goes.

    Maybe see what the rookies do in actual games with stakes before spending money.  Losing Sturm sucks, but he was a fourth line guy.  See how Haight does in Game 1.

    Spend money now, you won't have TDL money nor roster space.

    No, just no.  Over ten years in the league, 22 goals as a high water mark.  I am sure he is a grit guy, but why not have cap space for the deadline?  If Guerin signs him he should be fired immediately but I think he will sign him to a 3 year, no-move deal.
