Ideally it's a player like Folin I would like to see us targeting either way. A team with depth (in this case Suter, Brodin, Spurgeon and Scandella, with Dumba on the way) pushing out a low risk, young player.

Cliff Fletcher isn't prone to making panic moves, is he?
Anyhow, I agree with sureLoss and believe it would foolish to strengthen a team like the Wild, who are sleeping giants in the Western Conference. They're a solid goalie away from tearing the league apart.
I like Folin too, but we probably should have signed him out of the NCAA while we could.
Detroit is an interesting one: desperate for RH defencemen and running low on healthy goalies. A cheap, pending UFA like Ramo might be just the ticket for them while Howard heals up. Also, Wideman would make a lot of sense there, especially if we took on some salary. Still not sold on the idea of trading a goalie (or Wideman for that matter), but Detroit are a team to keep an eye on.
