After they received the rights to Malone and Roberts and resigning Lecavalier to a lifelong contract and picking Steven Stamkos first overall the Lightning have continued there acquiring rights hunt and have acquired the rights to Brian Rolston who was expected to be one of the top UFA's this summer. In return the Wild receive a conditional pick.
This is from Minnesota Wild Beat Writer Michael Russo.
The Following is what the Wild receive all copy pasted form Mr.Russo
OK, here’s the best it’s been decribed to me. Rolston’s rights were traded to Tampa Bay for a third in 2010. However, if the Ryan Malone contract is approved as expected, the pick becomes the 2009 fourth round pick Tampa traded to Pittsburgh.
HOWEVER, if Rolston signs there, that fourth becomes a third again — either San Jose’s third-round pick in 2009 that Tampa Bay owns or Tampa Bay’s third in 2010 — at the Wild’s option.
Got it? Dizzy yet? I am. To make it simpler, essentially the Wild picked up a fourth that could become a third if Rolston signs there.
