“Lighting up juniors” is a tale as old as time. Doesn’t really mean much. More often than not that doesn’t transfer to the NHL.
Also want nothing to do with Hartman.

Not sure why the Wild would be further diluting their center depth for wing help. Probably the last thing they need to be honestly.

Minnesota's center depth is Rossi, Ek and Gaudreau as their top-9 centers. Hartman appears to have only played center when Ek was injured.
None of Hartman's 3 most common lines this year (Johansson-Rossi-Hartman, Johansson-Ek-Hartman and Foligno-Gaudreau-Hartman) had Hartman playing center.

Eh. Doesn't do much for me. He's 31. Not really interested in giving up a 2nd and would much prefer to see what the team has in Haight or Heidt. Wouldn't be the kind of move I think they need to make. Contrary to what I think a few other Wild fans believe, there isn't any hope for doing anything meaningful in this years playoffs. The PP/PK are atrocious and Rakell isn't likely to make enough of a difference in either of those. Unless it's a move for the future/window, I don't think the team needs to be making trades that don't work towards that end. I don't see Rakell as a part of that at that age. Similar reason I don't think they should waste assets on Brock Nelson for some misguided playoff push.
Pass.
Pass.

Pass on this one. More than I wanna give up for a 32 year old ~55 point winger.
Any move the Wild make for someone with term should make the roster younger, not older. I could understand acquiring a cheap bottom six depth player as a rental at the deadline (not that we'll have the cap space this year to even do that), but for a guy with two seasons left on his deal, we're getting two years older, and giving up two good future assets to enhance a window that isn't even open.

It would have to be Hartman because we have zero cap space. I don't think it's a bad offer but having already traded our 1st and 3rd, I would rather not trade the 2nd.
I might be persuaded to deal Hartman + Heidt for Rakell because I think adding another goal scoring wing gives us a snowball's chance in the playoffs , but it sounds like Brocks Nelson and Boeser are both strong possibilities to sign as UFA this summer and they wouldn't cost us anything.

I would probably do just Hartman and Heidt for Rakell as well. The 2nd would be nice because the Penguins don't have a 2nd, but Heidt seems like a really enticing C prospect that the Penguins are lacking in the system.
I also like Hartman though and see value in him, despite him having a bad season.
