Pegulaville26 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The Rangers traded Erik Christensen and a conditional 7th rd pick to Minnesota for AHLer Casey Wellman. Good depth pick up for the Wild. They need help. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=386811 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 @Pegulaville26I agree, this is a good trade by Fletcher. There is enough prospect depth in the Wild system that Wellwood won't be missed, and they gain a forward that can play in the NHL now.

Podein25 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 @hf101 - I think Wellman is pretty close to being an NHLer. I would not be surprised at all if he was in the Ranger lineup at the end of the season. He's a RH finisher. Teams need those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgonWild Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Fletcher improved the Wild without giving up much. See my blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Wellman is a c plus b minus prospect, Christianson is a NHLer right now, forced out by Hagelin. Good trade for both teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
