I thought Backstrom retired... I'm sure he's being held together by tape by now.

So Minny must have yet another move following this? Otherwise why? Are they poor?

6th round pick...

Backstrom is going to get some starts. Otherwise he wouldn't waive.

Backstrom is UFA so it's likely just to make the $ work.

Not sure I get this...

Backstrom

Edit: Got it. A low pick and some money to Backstrom.

The 6th pick is ok I guess, but I'm hoping this doesn't effect Ortio too much. I was hoping to see him play a lot of games down the stretch to get a better idea of what we have.

Nothing wrong with that trade. You were going to lose David Jones for nothing this off season anyway. You got a pick for him, so that's nice.

Interested to know what it is now.

Hoped for better than a 6th, but oh well, better than nothing for another expiring UFA. He could come back in the summer on a cheaper 1-2 year deal.

No idea what to expect the pick to be? I am going to guess it's a 3rd, since the other two components seem to be helping the wild.

EDIT: I am way too optimistic

Salary dump. has been injured all year and contract expires shortly. 6th round pick almost makes it pointless... but at least they got something for Jones
