However, he would be a massive upgrade over a guy like Greenway and would provide this team with much needed veteran experience for the playoffs.1@RussoHockey I know a lot of fans wouldn't be excited by this if Guerin ends up pulling off a trade for him.

Cement it and leave it alone for the rest of the season see what you get with it. Wild has too many bottom 6 players at the moment. Should look to move one out.&quot;Name can't be blank@afcyung@RussoHockey Feels like the best solution is for the Wild to call up Beckman/Walker to play wing with Boldy to get that line going.

Should look to move one outWhy is James van Riemsdyk being traded?The Philadelphia Flyers have had a disappointing season, finishing second last in their division. The trade will assist the Flyers in meeting their high salary demand of $7 million per season. Furthermore, James van Riemsdyk, who has appeared in 919 games, has not been at his best recently. He has played over 40 games this season and has nine goals and 14 assists, which is a poor return for an experienced player.As a result, it makes sense for the Flyers to trade him for someone else with the long-term in mind.Why are Minnesota Wild interested in James van Riemsdyk?In the NHL, the Minnesota Wild have played well enough to move into second place in the Western Conference Central Division with 72 points, but they have struggled offensively, scoring fewer than 170 goals in 60 games. The team has looked to Kirill Kaprizov, who has 30 goals this season, for scoring help.The addition of James van Riemsdyk would provide the Wild with experience. It will be interesting to see if the move materializes before Minnesota Wild's game against the New York Islanders on Tuesday, Feb. 28.
