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

Wild Acquire Justin Brazeau From Bruins Hours Before Trade Deadline – Minnesota Wild
After trading for Gustav Nyquist last week, the Minnesota Wild have again dipped their toes in the trade waters hours before Friday afternoon’s trade deadline.

The Wild Have Gotten Weird – Minnesota Wild
You’ve probably seen the “Not Weird. Wild.” commercials. Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello ride a tandem bicycle and eat PB&Js. The pillow fight in Matt Boldy’s hotel room. Brock Faber’s mother reminds him to wear his glasses as he waits for the Gus Bus. They’re pretty weird but kinda fun. However, the problem is that… Continue reading The Wild Have Gotten Weird – Minnesota Wild
Are the Wild Going To Do Anything Before the Trade Deadline? – Wilderness Walk
That’s Wild The Minnesota Wild made one trade in the weeks leading up to tomorrow’s NHL trade deadline, acquiring winger Gustav Nyquist from the Nashville Predators, but will they be doing anything else? Obviously, this team could use some more help and most likely someone upfront to provide some more depth scoring than this team currently has,… Continue reading Are the Wild Going To Do Anything Before the Trade Deadline? – Wilderness Walk
Could the Wild Offload Hartman At the Trade Deadline? – Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild may want to move Ryan Hartman at the deadline, but he’s a hard sell at the moment. The 30-year-old winger has caused more trouble than his current salary allows. In the 2021-22 season, Hartman had 65 points in 82 games and ended the season +31, a career season for the 2013 first-round… Continue reading Could the Wild Offload Hartman At the Trade Deadline? – Minnesota Wild
Quinton Byfield Checks All The Boxes Of An Eriksson Ek Contingency Plan – Minnesota Wild
Marco Rossi is having a breakout season. He’s on pace for 28 goals and 40 assists and is starting to earn respect around the NHL because he’s produced even when he’s not on Kirill Kaprizov’s line. Still, Bill Guerin doesn’t seem to see Rossi as part of Minnesota’s long-term future. Guerin likely wants players larger… Continue reading Quinton Byfield Checks All The Boxes Of An Eriksson Ek Contingency Plan – Minnesota Wild
The Wild Would Be Wise To Keep Liam Öhgren At the Trade Deadline – Minnesota Wild
Based on what we’ve seen so far, there’s only one way that Liam Öhgren is helping the Minnesota Wild get to the playoffs this year. As trade bait. I don’t say that disrespectfully or because there’s any shame in not being ready for an NHL playoff run as a 21-year-old rookie. Öhgren can create his… Continue reading The Wild Would Be Wise To Keep Liam Öhgren At the Trade Deadline – Minnesota Wild
Reinforcements Are Arriving Right On Time For the Red-Hot Iowa Wild – Minnesota Wild
Things down in Des Moines looked ugly earlier this year. The Iowa Wild’s start to the season was less than ideal. They were 0-6-1, and their top prospects were floundering. That was surprising, given that they hired Brett McLean in the offseason and had some veteran additions mixed in with the youth. It looked like… Continue reading Reinforcements Are Arriving Right On Time For the Red-Hot Iowa Wild – Minnesota Wild

The Minnesota Wild Didn’t Need To Get Desperate – Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild were light on cap space two years ago and high on ambition. Bill Guerin didn’t want to give up substantial assets, so he traded a 2024 third-rounder for Marcus Johansson and a fifth for Gustav Nyquist. Both players were on expiring deals, making them low-risk deadline pickups. “These two players are what… Continue reading The Minnesota Wild Didn’t Need To Get Desperate – Minnesota Wild
