Maybe 15 minutes before the Wild hosted, and defeated, the Nashville Predators on Saturday, general manager Bill Guerin took a few minutes to talk to the media about his first noteworthy acquistion of the season — the trade with Columbus which will bring David Jiricek to the State of Hockey in the first few days of December.

Wild GM and President of Hockey Operations Bill Guerin felt trading Daemon Hunt was worth what David Jiricek brings.

The Minnesota Wild and Columbus Blue Jackets came together on the David Jiricek trade on Saturday evening. The Wild traded Daemon Hunt and four draft picks to the Blue Jackets to acquire Jiricek’s services.
