The David Jiricek Trade Is Still the Right Call – Minnesota Wild
When the Minnesota Wild traded for David Jiricek on November 30, they did so partly because the price was right. They got a blue-chip defense prospect for Daemon Hunt and four draft picks.

Jared Spurgeon Is Still A Force For the Wild – Minnesota Wild

NFL Insider suggests Sam Darnold still makes sense for Vikings in 2025
Sam Darnold’s final two games of the 2024 regular season seemed to suggest the Minnesota Vikings would part ways with the veteran after the season.

NFL Network’s Tom Peliserro… Continue reading NFL Insider suggests Sam Darnold still makes sense for Vikings in 2025
