The Minnesota Wild have acquired Dan Fritsche from the New York Rangers in exchange for defenseman Erik Reitz.
Hockey Wilderness would like to welcome new Wild team member Dan Fritsche from the New York Rangers. This marks the third relatively inconsequential roster move in a week going back to the Robbie Earl acquisition.
“Dan is a versatile player who can play center or wing, a determined player who makes the game harder on the opposition, and a winning player - he's won a Memorial Cup and a World Junior Championship for Team USA,” said Risebrough.
If that were true, then why has he only played in 16 games for a less than adequate Ranger squad? However, since shipping Reitz was part of the deal, it did remove an overmatched defenseman, and swapped one American for another.
So, seems like Risebrough has his trading shoes on. Who's next?

Sure
You for Dan Boyle, Rob Blake, Thornton, and Nabby.
Wild can throw in backs to even it out a bit…
The only way to avoid failure, is to learn from it.
Does this trade remind you a bit of the Dominic Moore deal a few years back?
The only way to avoid failure, is to learn from it.
Yeah
It completely reminds me of that deal. I just don’t understand why they keep adding role players.
Ugh
Fritsche was just put on waivers by the Rangers… another team that has issues putting the puck in the net but have an awesome goaltender and shaky defense.
Fritsche will fit in perfect…to do what, I don’t know – but he’ll be used to whatever it is he was acquired for.
