David Jones to Wild for G Niklas Backstrom and a 2016 6th round pick
New thread because the other thread is filled with fake twitter reports and other silliness.
Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
CAL is trading David Jones to MIN for Niklas Backstrom and a pick. Holdup was Backstrom NMC.

Sure. Why not. Essentially just Jones for a pick.

Wait, so that fake twitter account was right(sort of)? Did they know, or was it blind luck?

He's a UFA? Maybe Minnie still has something in the works and they need to dump him for cap space?
... I'd rather play Ortio.

So, Flames get a draft pick for taking Backstrom contract. MIN can use Jones in race to playoffs.

depends what the pick is, we are essentially just paying backstrom to close out the year.
can't hurt to take on salary for the remainder of the season.
one more pick for the war chest.

backstrom is like 39 years old or something....but a pick for Jones is good and Minny adding some size to try and compete within that division makes all sorts of sense.
