Here are some potential free agents the Wild could consider this summer:
• LW Brian Rolston
• LW Todd Fedoruk
• RW Branko Radivojevic.
The Wild will not be in the market for star forwards, but there are some players who could be appetizing. The Wild's needs include players who could put the puck in the net but who also are hard-nosed and competitive.
Calgary: C Craig Conroy, C Daymond Langkow, LW Kristian Huselius, C Stephane Yelle
Colorado: LW Andrew Brunette
Dallas: LW Niklas Hagman
Edmonton: C Marty Reasoner
New Jersey: LW Jay Pandolfo
Ottawa: RW Martin Lapointe
Pittsburgh: LW Ryan Malone
St. Louis: C Ryan Johnson
San Jose: C Curtis Brown
Tampa Bay: C Chris Gratton
Vancouver: LW Brad Isbister, C Byron Ritchie
With Kim Johnsson, Nick Schultz and Brent Burns pulling in $12 million of the salary cap with multiple years left, the Wild likely will add two to three midrange defensemen. Here are a few:
Calgary: Jim Vandermeer
Carolina: Bret Hedican
Colorado: John-Michael Liles, Kurt Sauer
Columbus: Ron Hainsey
Florida: Branislav Mezei, Steve Montador
New Jersey: Bryce Salvador
Ottawa: Mike Commodore
Philadelphia: Jason Smith
Pittsburgh: Brooks Orpik

I made this championship belt for the push to the '09 Division Title. Gladden offered to buy it; I wanted a trade for one of his rings. He declined.
