Round 1 of the Draft takes place Friday evening while rounds 2-7 continue on Saturday.
After finding a way to secure a bulk of its NHL roster at the Expansion Draft, including its stable of highly sought after defensemen, it's possible Fletcher could make a deal of some sort this weekend, including one that could net the Wild an extra draft pick or two.
"Absolutely, I mean, we'll see. Again, we're trying to improve our team if we can, and we're certainly speaking to a lot of teams. We'll see," Fletcher said in Las Vegas on Wednesday night. "I wouldn't say we're actively shopping anybody but again, we're getting a lot of calls; we have been for a while. With [the Expansion Draft] process now completed, I think it'll clear things up and probably simplify the process going forward, in terms of getting some offers, evaluating them and seeing if they improve our team."
Vegas signed forward Erik Haula, a pending restricted free agent, to a multi-year contract, a move that counted as the Golden Knights' pick of a Wild player in the Expansion Draft. To complete the deal, and to keep it from poaching a quality defenseman or veteran center Eric Staal, Fletcher also traded prospect Alex Tuch to Vegas in exchange for a conditional third-round pick, a selection that will occur either this weekend or in 2018.
For now, the Wild heads to the Windy City armed with a third-round pick, a pair of fourth rounders and one selection in each the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds.
Whether that remains the case over the next 24 hours, only time will tell.
