Yeah it's hard to do this with a timeline of a few years, especially not accounting for trades or UFA signings. It's a decent start though.
Some things I would consider:
Cullen and PMB will be UFAs after next season and I am not sure if either will be back. Just no room for Cullen anymore unless he wants to play minimal minutes and take a much cheaper contract. PMB depends on health, I could see him back but it depends a lot on the amount of money. Also, from what I hear (mainly Russo and Hockey Wilderness Blog) Lats will not be qualified but then he will be re-signed on a cheaper contract.
I think some of the Wild's prospects and/or current forwards on the roster will be used in a trade to upgrade our defense if they can't sign anyone. Also, it seems the Wild will have flexibility when it comes to who can play center which could change things around.
