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

In his final college hockey game, Matt Boldy scored Boston College’s lone goal in a 4-1 loss to St. Cloud State on March 28, 2021. Forty-eight hours later, he signed with the Minnesota Wild and reported to Des Moines. Boldy had 11 goals and 20 assists in 22 games with Boston College and immediately produced in… Continue reading Guerin’s Strength As Team USA GM Might A Shortcoming In Minnesota – Minnesota Wild
Minnesota’s Defensive Tackle Solution Might Be Playing In the Super Bowl
As a Minnesota Vikings fan, Sunday’s matchup may include the two teams you least wanted to watch in Super Bowl LIX. We’re happy not to see the coronation of a division rival, but many of us have at least as much disdain for the Philadelphia Eagles as we do for the Detroit Lions. If you… Continue reading Minnesota’s Defensive Tackle Solution Might Be Playing In the Super Bowl
