The salary cap handicapped the Minnesota Wild at this year’s trade deadline. After buying out Ryan Suter and Zach Parise, the team is still in the final stages of the dead cap penalties. Injuries have also hampered the team. Despite their limitations, the Wild added Justin Brazeau and brought back Gustav Nyquist. Nyquist was a… Continue reading Why Has Gustav Nyquist’s Production Dropped In Minnesota? – Minnesota Wild

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
Does Marcus Johansson Have A Future In Minnesota? – Minnesota Wild
Since the Minnesota Wild traded for Marcus Johansson again in 2023, I have been optimistic about his potential. Even though Johansson has been in the league since 2010-11 (I was only seven when he entered), watching the 32-year-old winger score six goals and 18 points in 20 games caught my attention. A year later, the… Continue reading Does Marcus Johansson Have A Future In Minnesota? – Minnesota Wild
Vikings’ backup definitely won’t be Rodgers – Twin Cities
It’s still difficult to guess who will be the Minnesota Vikings’ backup quarterback to J.J. McCarthy next season. But it’s definitely not going to be Aaron Rodgers and it’s unlikely to be Kirk Cousins. There’s a 99 percent chance that Rodgers winds up with the Steelers, and for Cousins the most likely choice is the… Continue reading Vikings’ backup definitely won’t be Rodgers – Twin Cities
The Wild Are Waiting On the Perfect Storm – Minnesota Wild
Remember when the Minnesota Wild beat the Edmonton Oilers in November? The box score reads like a fever dream. Freddy Gaudreau scored two goals, and Matt Boldy, Marcus Foligno, and Marcus Johansson scored the other three in a 5-3 win. Marc-Andre Fleury made 29 saves. Drake Caggiula hit Kirill Kaprizov in the knee. However, the… Continue reading The Wild Are Waiting On the Perfect Storm – Minnesota Wild
What if Zach Parise and Ryan Suter Finished Their Contracts in Minnesota? – Minnesota Wild
Let’s take the emotion out of it for just a bit. No, I’m not talking about the Wild’s current skid, which has suddenly thrust them into a perilous position in the standings, threatening their once-locked playoff spot. There will be plenty of time to write and read about the Wild’s end-of-season collapse should they fail… Continue reading What if Zach Parise and Ryan Suter Finished Their Contracts in Minnesota? – Minnesota Wild
Expect Marco Rossi To Rebound Soon – Minnesota Wild
No Kirill Kaprizov? No problem. At least, that was the case with Marco Rossi for a while. When the Minnesota Wild’s superstar winger went down with injury just before Christmas, he left his center in a tricky spot. Rossi was enjoying a true breakout season, with 12 goals and 28 points through 35 games. Those were… Continue reading Expect Marco Rossi To Rebound Soon – Minnesota Wild
Wild Earn Loser Point, Regain Footing in Wild Card – Wilderness Walk
That’s Wild Well, it didn’t go as well as we all hoped but the Minnesota Wild still did walk away from a visit to Madison Square Garden with one point and some more security as they fend off their descent. It was a back-and-forth matchup against the New York Rangers that eventually led to the… Continue reading Wild Earn Loser Point, Regain Footing in Wild Card – Wilderness Walk
Where Are Minnesota’s Greatest Defensive Breakdowns? – Minnesota Wild
Every goal against the Minnesota Wild hurts to watch. The worst ones are garbage goals or results of misjudgment from Wild players. Some are such incredible plays that you must appreciate the other team’s talent. I watched all 28 goals against in the past 10 Wild games where their opponents scored a goal to break… Continue reading Where Are Minnesota’s Greatest Defensive Breakdowns? – Minnesota Wild
Are the Wild Repeating History With Filip Gustavsson? – Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild have hovered around .500 since superstar Kirill Kaprizov went out with injury. In March, Filip Gustavsson was the man they had to thank for that. Gustavsson led the Wild to a 6-3-1 record in March, with an NHL-best .940 SV% over that stretch. Gustavsson recently won the NHL’s First Star of the… Continue reading Are the Wild Repeating History With Filip Gustavsson? – Minnesota Wild
