Okposo to Minny

[JiriHrdina]

The Wild continue to add some veteran help.
The latest acquisition sees Kyle Okposo arrive from Philly in exchange for Robby Fabbri, a 2016 1st and 2016 2nd.
GM Farhall
"Kyle gives us a good option on our 1st or second lines. We feel really good about both units now and it allow Huberdeau, Strome and Kuznetzov to form a skilled 3rd line and continue to mature".

The Wild have started to use up most of their available cap space - but have done so by acquiring 3 front line players under the age of 30 in Marc Staal, Kyle Okposo and Blake Wheeler.

The current lineup looks like this:

Wheeler-Duchene-Tarasenko
Okposo-Granlund-Hartnell
Huberdeau-Strome-Kuznetzov
Sekac-?-Connolly

Staal-Faulk
Hamilton-Lindholm
Klingberg-Reilly

The deal allows me to use Okposo's money to re-sign Vanek, who's a UFA. If I don't move Okposo then I would've lost Vanek for nothing.

Also adds another 2016 first as well as a 2nd. We are up to 10 2016 1sts. Still looking for more if anyone else is interested.

Brings back one of my fav prospects in Fabbri, who I drafted early last year.
