Wild Sign Wade Dubielewicz

According to Dobber, the Wild have signed Dubie:

No word on terms yet.

Looks like a clear signal to me that Harding will be traded sometime between now and his arbitration hearing (last week of July / first week of August). Who will make a pitch for him?

EDIT: Contract details:

$600,000 / 1 yr / 2-way

Dubie's signing a 2-way deal might mean that this isn't necessarily the end of Harding's time in MIN...

there are a few teams that need some goaltending still I am sure, you think Colorado would step up, but we shall see

I'd look for San Jose to make something happen for Harding. From my understanding, they aren't keen on going with Nabokov long term barring exceptional circumstances. And they have a lot of players making too much money that Minnesota could use, especially on the back end.

I could personally see an Ehrhoff for Harding straight up swap.

Thus freeing up a certain Burns for a trade... for a certain player named Heatley...?

Just free-styling, here.

COL just signed Anderson, and re-signed Budaj. Not sure there's a fit there anymore, although before you even say it, I agree, Harding is a better option than either.
