Yakov Trenin Can Help the Wild Unleash Joel Eriksson Ek – Minnesota Wild
Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin should thank the Colorado Avalanche for extending Brock Nelson to a three-year contract averaging $7.5 million per year (AAV). Guerin would’ve likely gotten into a bidding war where they may have signed Nelson to a three- to four-year deal worth $8.5 million plus. John Tavares is the only center… Continue reading Yakov Trenin Can Help the Wild Unleash Joel Eriksson Ek – Minnesota Wild
Darius Garland and Jaire Alexander could help Minnesota teams. But are they worth it?
This dawned on me as necessary Monday when pondering the news that Garland underwent offseason toe surgery that will keep him out 4-5 months and likely will mean he misses games at the start of the 2025-26 season. All we know at this point is that Garland was the subject of trade rumors last offseason… Continue reading Darius Garland and Jaire Alexander could help Minnesota teams. But are they worth it?
God Help Me, I Kinda Want The Stars To Win the Stanley Cup – Minnesota Wild
Very rarely do I take off my Wild Analyst Pince-Nez and put on my Wild Fan Sweatpants at Hockey Wilderness, but hey, it’s the offseason. You gotta wear sweatpants sometimes, and today’s that day. The NHL is down to its final four teams: The Carolina Hurricanes, Dallas Stars, Edmonton Oilers, and Florida Panthers.

Playing Zeev Buium Would Help the Wild’s Short- and Long-Term Goals – Minnesota Wild
Tonight’s not the night. The Minnesota Wild announced that Zeev Buium won’t play Tuesday as the team tries to sew up their playoff spot in Game 82. If the team isn’t willing to put their top prospect into the lineup for a must-win game against the 35-37-8 Anaheim Ducks, it’s far from guaranteed that he’d… Continue reading Playing Zeev Buium Would Help the Wild’s Short- and Long-Term Goals – Minnesota Wild
Vikings mock draft 2.0: Making sure Minnesota gets D-line help and an impact running back
Free agency will determine the Minnesota Vikings’ priorities in the 2025 NFL Draft. Will they sign multiple interior defensive linemen? How will they improve the interior of their offensive line? Will cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. or running back Aaron Jones test the market? The answers to those questions will affect Minnesota’s plans. The team will… Continue reading Vikings mock draft 2.0: Making sure Minnesota gets D-line help and an impact running back
Vikings trade pitch lands $160 million superstar QB to help groom J.J. McCarthy
The closer we get to free agency, the more it seems that current Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback Sam Darnold will leave for a mega contract in free agency. Keeping Darnold for at least another season would represent a best-case scenario for the Vikings, given their success in 2024 and J.J. McCarthy’s recovery from multiple knee… Continue reading Vikings trade pitch lands $160 million superstar QB to help groom J.J. McCarthy
End of Vikings’ season reinforced need for more help from draft
The Vikings cannot expect to make up all that ground in one year, especially with a paucity of picks in 2025. But simply put, they must get more out of their past and future drafts next year and beyond. That is where the caveats are at least useful in explaining how Addison was alone with… Continue reading End of Vikings’ season reinforced need for more help from draft
Vikings get DL help in latest 2025 NFL mock draft from The 33rd Team
Much has been made about the Minnesota Vikings‘ defense over the past two seasons. And for good reason. The defense was the main reason for the Vikings being in playoff contention as long as they were last season, despite a frankly absurd quarterback carousel through more than half the season. Once again, the defense was… Continue reading Vikings get DL help in latest 2025 NFL mock draft from The 33rd Team
