Wild Acquire Kobasew

Per Russo, the Wild have acquired Chuck Kobasew for Craig Weller, 2011 2nd and Alexander Fallstrom.

Bouchard placed on LTIR.

2011 2nd and Fallstrom plus salary dump in Weller is not bad for Kobasew. I originally panicked and thought it was this year's 2nd rounder which might end up being 31-35 but it isn't.

Overall, this trade shows Fletcher is not giving up on the season and Kobasew is another guy who is good on the forecheck, works hard every game and will show up on the scoresheet. The 2nd that was given up will most likely be returned as our vets or UFAs are traded near the deadline, assuming we are out of the playoffs come the trade deadline.
