The former Golden Gopher came straight from getting to the National Championship Game to the NHL lineup for a playoff team. The smooth-skating defenseman got all of 40 minutes of regular-season warm-up time before stepping into a regular shift during the playoffs.

Should JJ Peterka Be On Minnesota’s Radar This Offseason? – Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild are only months away from being players in the marketplace. For the past four years, Bill Guerin’s front office has scraped by on cheap extensions for key players, hometown discounts, and backfilling through the minor leagues.

The Wild Should Go All-In On A Dylan Larkin Trade – Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild should acquire a top-six forward at the March 7 trade deadline.

The Wild Should Recreate Pittsburgh’s HBK Line – Minnesota Wild
I know what you’re thinking. Marat Khusnutdinov is who he is, and he isn’t going to improve his offensive production dramatically. He’s worse than Connor Dewar. Khusnutdinov has been a replacement-level player. However, the Minnesota Wild should acknowledge why keeping Khusnutdinov in the fold is important. Hunter Haight has better pure skill than Khusnutdinov. People… Continue reading The Wild Should Recreate Pittsburgh’s HBK Line – Minnesota Wild
Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Should The Vikings Spend Big On A Guard?
There was good news yesterday. The league announced the cap would fall between 277.5M and 281.5M. This gives the Vikings more cap space to try and sign free agents. Which free agents though?

The Wild Should Go Big Game Hunting This Summer – Minnesota Wild

An informal poll shows only “Michelob Golden Light” and “Kirill the Thrill” have been used more often during the Minnesota Wild’s dead cap hit era.

How Concerned Should We Be About Wallstedt’s Down Season? – Minnesota Wild
