Looking at it now, I think the Wild's goaltending needs were getting someone who could at least back up Kuemper or else possibly play tandem with him for the remainder of the season. In this they'd improve their changes of at least making the playoffs which is about as far as their expectations probably go as of now.
At least they can sit back in the summer and see where things are at with Harding as he's definitely capable when healthy. Pretty sure they're done with Backstrom at this point.
