If the Wild are indeed dedicated to a true "rebuild", then adding the 1st would make all kinds of sense as the money and term for the two players are basically a wash.
pretty unlikely it was Frolik having the Wild on his no trade list and i highly doubt BT would ask him to remove them even if it was.
Maybe over-thinking this but i just cant see bringing Zucker in on his deal AND keeping Neal.

Yeah that is possible and if that is the case it likely gets re-visited at the draft.
I think the draft may be a real interesting day for the Flames fans.
Frolik, Brodie, Neal, & Stone will all likely be on the block - as well as potentially our 1st rounder.

Feels like Fenton either changed his mind last minute or asked for more after BT thought they had a deal.

Also quite possible that the road block was Neal's injury if he was in fact the one being moved. As maybe the Wild ended up being concerned about that in the end.
