Sabotaging a team's playoff run to drive down contract prices would be an absolutely insane strategy, and I can't see any GM or owners doing that.
My guess is that the Wild wanted more intangibles from their centre group and decided to go with Hartman and Eriksson Ek instead of Rossi.
A lot of teams are probably watching Florida and moving away from more skilled players. Hopefully, the Flames can take advantage of that. The Flames have plenty of guys who are hard to play against and desperately need those more skilled guys.
