On today's episode of Locked on Wild we break down the Dmitry Kulikov trade. Is Bill Guerin planning something with the additional cap space or just giving himself options if needed? What led to Kulikov being traded? We also discuss Bill Guerin opting to resolve situations early instead of letting them play out. We look at what this means for Calen Addison, and why the Wild are going to continue to fill roster spots with prospects or younger free agents.
