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.

I'm sure Staal would consider moving to a contender, and at 1 year left for 3.25M I'd bet they get a decent return. They could move Koivu at this deadline.
I'm sure there would be takers for Zuccarello, Dubnyk, Dumba, Brodin, Fiala, Rask, and Donato.
Haven't followed how Hartman, Eriksson Ek, Pateryn or Foligno have been performing. Maybe there would be interest in some of those guys. Maybe not.
That only leaves Suter and Parise.
