“Asset Management” is something of a hockey-writer buzzword. Usually, it’s a euphemism writers use to say they didn’t like something a GM did. In this case, that’s partly true. However, along with that perspective, the Marat Khusnutdinov trade seems to be a failure of patience. In the interest of maximizing playoff chances this year, management… Continue reading Marat Khusnutdinov, We Hardly Knew Ye – Minnesota Wild

Marat Khusnutdinov Can Find His Swagger In Iowa – Minnesota Wild
I remember exactly when I knew without a doubt that Marco Rossi was ready for the NHL. It was the weekend of January 20 during the 2022-23 season, and the Iowa Wild were playing back-to-back home games against the Milwaukee Admirals. The Minnesota Wild had sent Rossi down to the AHL earlier that season after… Continue reading Marat Khusnutdinov Can Find His Swagger In Iowa – Minnesota Wild
The Dallas Stars Just Upped the Ante For the Wild’s “Christmas Morning” – Minnesota Wild
If you’re a Minnesota Wild fan sick of the team being handcuffed by their salary cap situation, don’t worry, you’re not alone. After a trade deadline where the Wild were active but without much impact, general manager Bill Guerin sounded exhausted by the last four years of Cap Hell. “We couldn’t do anything else,” Guerin said… Continue reading The Dallas Stars Just Upped the Ante For the Wild’s “Christmas Morning” – Minnesota Wild
The Wild Need To Turn Back the Clock To Fuel A Playoff Run – Minnesota Wild
Minnesota Wild fans had a case of déjà vu over the weekend. Stuck in the middle of a stretch where they lost three out of four games coming out of the 4 Nations Tournament, general manager Bill Guerin got on the phone and acquired Gustav Nyquist from the Nashville Predators for a 2026 second-round pick.… Continue reading The Wild Need To Turn Back the Clock To Fuel A Playoff Run – Minnesota Wild
Justin Brazeau Continues To Improve and Will Elevate the Wild – Minnesota Wild
When the Minnesota Wild acquired 27-year-old Justin Brazeau from the Boston Bruins on Thursday night, they got a little better. While it might not be the blockbuster some have hoped for, it should help the team this year. Brazeau should fit in well on a team looking to improve because all the 6-foot-6, 227-pound forward… Continue reading Justin Brazeau Continues To Improve and Will Elevate the Wild – Minnesota Wild
Does Adding Justin Brazeau Put Yakov Trenin On Notice? – Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild made a surprising trade on Thursday evening, shipping Jakub Lauko up to Boston (see what I did there?) along with Marat Khusnutdinov in exchange for Justin Brazeau. The move signaled the end of the Khusnutdinov experiment. The Wild didn’t believe his ceiling over the next few years was significant enough to bring him… Continue reading Does Adding Justin Brazeau Put Yakov Trenin On Notice? – Minnesota Wild
The Justin Brazeau Trade Was A Step In the Wrong Direction – Minnesota Wild
It was always going to be easy to dunk on the Minnesota Wild at the trade deadline. Short of putting big-money players like Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek on LTIR, they simply didn’t have the flexibility to grab a big fish like Mikko Rantanen or Brock Nelson or Brock Boeser. They couldn’t get a… Continue reading The Justin Brazeau Trade Was A Step In the Wrong Direction – Minnesota Wild
The Wild Are Where They Need To Be – Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild officially survived February, going 3-5-0. They started March with wins against the Boston Bruins and the Seattle Kraken. Minnesota’s last two wins have been a major relief because it had only managed to win one out of four games after returning from the 4 Nations tournament. It also didn’t help that the… Continue reading The Wild Are Where They Need To Be – Minnesota Wild
