			The Wild get another depth pick in a 5th for retaining money for Boston. 
 
Wild doing good work.

So 25 of the teams in the league should be dumping their top players.

Moneypuck's power ranking model has the Flames ranked 3rd in the NHL and you're saying this is not a playoff team. 
 
L o l
 
Are they playing up to their standards? Hell no. But is the roster put together a bad one? Hell no.

If the Caps actually sell Tom Wilson (1 year away from UFA) before the deadline, then maybe your point has some merit.
 
But I doubt they will.

Depends if they win the cup, or manage to re-sign him in the offseason. If they blow their run and he signs somewhere else, they surely lost the trade.

It's also cap space that the Wild weren't going to use anyway, and ROR/Orlov's salaries are far less than their cap hit. It's what? $50K per pick?
 
Seems smart to me.

It's actually about a quarter of a quarter of that. And even less in real money since Orlov's salary is $1.3M this year.
