Hawks won't use their 2nd of 3 retention spots for only a 3rd, rather they would save it for a bigger return on something else.
Hawks and Wild make interesting trading partners in general. Hawks have the biggest surplus of cap space which with the buyout penalties the Wild desperately could use. Hawks have cheap NHL or NHL ready players Tyler Raddysh, Roos, & Katchouck would be 3 that fill roster spots at minimal cap cost. Wild have a deep prospect pool, with Spacek and Bankier being pretty intriquing and some road blocks in front of them playing in the NHL (especially if you add Lindholm).
Maybe something like Hawks retain on Lindholm, send Trad & Roos for Spacek, Bankier, a future 2nd, Petrovsky, & Johansson (I assume you want to move him simply to lose the cap and don;t really want him otherwise)?
