Fletcher says Wild done after acquiring market's 'top rental forward'

The Minnesota Wild management team has completed the heavy lifting.

Speaking on a conference call shortly after trading a collection of draft picks to the Arizona Coyotes for talented pivot Martin Hanzal (and sandpapered winger Ryan White), Wild GM Chuck Fletcher indicated that he likely won't be making any further tweaks after acquiring the player he called the "top rental forward on the market."

"I would assume we're done, but we'll regroup tomorrow and continue to look at everything on a day-by-day basis."

Among other nuggets, Fletcher admitted that keeping Hanzal away from other Western Conference hopefuls played into the decision to acquire him, and he did not provide immediate indication that he intends to work hard to re-sign the incoming third-line center.

Fletcher also mentioned that he was happy to have completed a deal without giving up one of the Wild's top prospects.

With Hanzal re-distributing talent on the depth chart, as well as White offering a physical element that may have lacked, the first-place Wild look as complete as any team in the Western Conference.

"We're putting our chips in the middle of the table for this year," Fletcher said, according to Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. "We may as well take a swing and see how far we can go."
