BRINK MOVED TO MINNESOTA
The Minnesota Wild acquired winger Bobby Brink from the Philadelphia Flyers for defenseman David Jiricek.
What does it give the Minnesota Wild
The Wild were reportedly interested in adding a center, and they still might, but for now land a solid top-six winger in Brink. The Minnesota native should fit right in as a hard-working forward with skill. Brink adds even more depth to the Wild.
What does it give the Philadelphia Flyers
For the Flyers, this move is about the future. Jiricek was once considered a can't-miss prospect. However, both the Blue Jackets and now the Wild have given up on him. Jiricek has size and untapped potential but will it translate to the NHL?
Fantasy impact
Brink's offensive numbers should remain steady with the move home to Minnesota. Grab him if you can. Jiricek is all potential and zero results for the time being. Until that changes, pass.
