Suter and Parise have the least movable deals in hockey. I can't see Zuccarello going anywhere not even one year into a five-year deal. Spurgeon just got extended and his expensive contract is up in eight years. Koivu and Galchenyuk both expire after this season and are hardly core players.
The Wild are a strange team in that they don't really have a core to dismantle anymore. The guys they still have are supporting guys locked in for huge term. Really the only core guys I can still see moving are Dumba, Brodin, and Dubnyk. Maybe Staal but he has big trade protection.

To move the long term older expensive guys they need to eat salary, I guess.
