Wilderness Walk: Trade deadline day

That’s Wild

• The Minnesota Wild have been heavily enough involved in trade rumors around the deadline, but the latest is that they have had a conversation with the Chicago Blackhawks about a trade for goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. [Hockey Wilderness]
• And some of the rumors turned into actual trades over the weekend, as the Wild acquired gritty winger Nicolas Deslauriers from the Anaheim Ducks. [Hockey Wilderness]
• With the Winnipeg Jets likely out of the playoffs, does a trade for center Paul Stastny make sense for the Wild? [10K Rinks]
• ‘What skill set?’: Wild trade pickup Nicolas Deslauriers knows his role and is ready to play it [The Athletic]

Off the trail...

• Oh boy, were there a lot of trades over the weekend, notably, the Toronto Maple Leafs acquired defenseman Mark Giordano from the Seattle Kraken. [DJLR]
• The Philadelphia Flyers traded captain Claude Giroux to the Florida Panthers. [Broad Street Hockey]
• Leafs defenseman Travis Dermott was traded to the Vancouver Canucks. [PPP]
• And some other stuff happened as well, I guess...
