The Minnesota Wild selected five players in last month’s NHL draft, in which they had a second-round pick, three fourth-round selections, and a fifth-rounder. Despite not having a high pick, Judd Brackett and his staff believe they were able to find some value in the draft. The team selected defensemen Theodor Hallquisth and Justin Kipkie… Continue reading The Wild Might Have Something With Newly Drafted Defensemen Theodor Hallquisth – Minnesota Wild

This failed Bears experiment might not make it out of Vikings training camp
As the Chicago Bears prepare for training camp, one particular fan favorite is missing from the equation, but he now has the chance to make it onto a rival’s roster. One of last year’s undrafted free agents, cornerback Reddy Steward, will now be entering training camp with the Minnesota Vikings, who happened to have a… Continue reading This failed Bears experiment might not make it out of Vikings training camp
Wild Might Not Be Able To Make Impact Additions – Wilderness Walk
Even if we can’t pick up a top 6 center in Free Agency this off-season, it’s not all bad. First of all, that’s a challenge most off-seasons as teams just don’t give those players up until well after their primed – and if they do it’s in trades or the free agent doesn’t likely have… Continue reading Wild Might Not Be Able To Make Impact Additions – Wilderness Walk
The Wild Might Still Be Playing With One Hand Behind Their Back Next Year – Minnesota Wild
Bill Guerin won the Stanley Cup twice as a player. He won his first with the New Jersey Devils in 1995 and another with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2009. I will focus on the 2009 championship because it’s more recent and relevant. Still, that 1995 team was fun. It was in a lockout year, so… Continue reading The Wild Might Still Be Playing With One Hand Behind Their Back Next Year – Minnesota Wild
Lukas Dostal Might Be Minnesota’s Perfect Bridge Goalie – Minnesota Wild
As the 2025-26 season wraps up, the Minnesota Wild must start making big decisions and take advantage of their increased cap space. Marc-Andre Fleury’s retirement leaves a void behind Philip Gustavsson, but they have options. Gustavsson started 58 games for the Wild and will likely be their primary goalie in 2025-26. However, Fleury started the… Continue reading Lukas Dostal Might Be Minnesota’s Perfect Bridge Goalie – Minnesota Wild
The Wild’s Best Use Of Marco Rossi Might Be A D-Corps Upgrade – Minnesota Wild
Bill Guerin and 27 other NHL GMs are probably golfing a lot (like me) right now. After someone wins the Stanley Cup in a few weeks, that number will rise to Guerin plus-31. Most of them will enjoy it. Guerin won’t. He has a lot to do before the NHL draft. While the Wild have… Continue reading The Wild’s Best Use Of Marco Rossi Might Be A D-Corps Upgrade – Minnesota Wild
Marc-Andre Fleury Might Remain With Wild – Wilderness Walk
That’s Wild At the season-ending press conference, Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin made it very public that if he so wishes, there is a spot with the team if Marc-Andre Fleury decides to take his talents to the front office. Is it going to be a goaltending development role? A goaltending scout? Just… Continue reading Marc-Andre Fleury Might Remain With Wild – Wilderness Walk
Marco Rossi Might Have Just Saved the Wild’s Season – Wilderness Walk
That’s Wild While it was certainly likely that the Minnesota Wild would be safe and could squeeze into the playoffs just due to the amount of points they accumulated earlier in the season, they needed to earn something against the Dallas Stars on Sunday. The Calgary Flames were hot on their trail, nipping at their… Continue reading Marco Rossi Might Have Just Saved the Wild’s Season – Wilderness Walk
Tim Washe Might Be the Perfect College Free Agent For the Wild – Minnesota Wild
The NHL trade deadline is in the rearview mirror, and the chance for a team to improve heading into the playoffs has mostly passed. While the Minnesota Wild made some moves at the deadline, they didn’t go all the way in. Besides moves for Justin Brazeau and Gustav Nyquist, the team remains essentially unchanged and… Continue reading Tim Washe Might Be the Perfect College Free Agent For the Wild – Minnesota Wild
Playing David Jiricek Might Solve Multiple Problems For the Wild – Minnesota Wild
In many ways, David Jiricek is effectively the Minnesota Wild’s trade deadline pickup. Minnesota parted with its 2025 first-round draft pick to land the disgruntled top defenseman prospect, which might have contributed to a quiet trade deadline during which the Wild made few moves to boost its struggling offense. To be clear, that opportunity cost… Continue reading Playing David Jiricek Might Solve Multiple Problems For the Wild – Minnesota Wild
