Wild Swing for Scoring, Land Coleman and Määttä

Minnesota is making a bold statement by acquiring forward Blake Coleman and defenseman Olli Määttä from Calgary in what looks like a significant trade between two Western Conference teams. The Wild are clearly targeting both offensive depth and defensive reinforcement in this deal. This move suggests Minnesota's front office believes these pieces can help them compete at a higher level next season. The question now is whether Coleman and Määttä can deliver the impact Minnesota is banking on.
