I wanted to give you the most updated look at the Wild's depth chart that ran with today's Insider, which can be read here. This will obviously change throughout the summer, and maybe even by the end of the day.

If defenseman Tom Gilbert is going to be bought out by Thursday at 4 p.m. and become a free agent Friday, he'll have to be placed on unconditional waivers first. That would need to occur today or Wednesday.

Also, qualifying offers must be extended by today. Again, the only one you really need to be concerned about is Jared Spurgeon, and that was done already.

I will be filling in for Common from 12-3 today (Tuesday), so please tune in/call in. Starting just before noon, you can tweet me questions for the show at @russostrib or ask a question on my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/startribunemikerusso and I'll try to answer during the show.

Here is the depth chart, and if there's news today, I'll be sure to put it on the blog:
