galgonWild Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The Wild have called up goalie Matt Hackett this morning. There is word that Harding might have a slight injury, but then again it is the week prior to the deadline. Could Fletcher be ready to trade Backstrom or Harding?

Irishjim Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 from Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzieMIN's Josh Harding has a minor injury. Day to day. Hence the recall of Matt Hackett from HOU. This is not trade related.but i wouldn't mind backstrom in a flyers jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgonWild Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I think you guys would just about want any new goalie. in a flyers jersey. The Wild have two away back two back games, so it is possible that the move is injury related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Varga Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Josh is sick from what I have heard, but I do think he will generate some intrest. The Wild have a wealth of goaltending prospects, and Hackett looks like the real deal. I love Hards, but it's time to move him. Lets get something for him while we can, and let Matt Hackett prove he's as good as he looked earlier in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then next year go with Harding and Hackett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Varga Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I wouldn't object to that. Harding is good with regular playing time, and I think he and Hackett could be a successful tandem. I was thinking of this scenario a few weeks ago, before New Jersey solidified their stance on not trading Parise, that the Wild could put together a package centered around Nicklas Backstrom with some prospects and picks to get Parise. But Backstrom has been playing phenominally lately, and if he carries them to the playoffs, I don't know if they'd be willing to trade him. It would be really interesting to see what he could fetch in a trade though, provided he waives his NTC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishjim Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I think you guys would just about want any new goalie. in a flyers jersey.if you had to watch your goalies give up 3-5 soft goals a game you'd be open to any change in goal. The wild seem to develop goalies within there system quite well unlike my flyers who haven't developed an in house goalie since Reagan was president and hair bands were all the rage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackett will be the back-up next season, which means one of Backstrom or Harding won't be here. I'm not sure if a move will come before the trade deadline, but hopefully one will be there by the draft so the Wild get something for one of them before Harding test the FA waters.@Podein25nice!
