The Wild Can’t Underestimate the Value Of Centers – Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild are coming up on another offseason, and you know what that means: It’s time for Marco Rossi trade rumor corner. The Wild’s young center has been in the rumor mill for each of the past two offseasons, and it appears his 22 goals and 54 points in 70 games (so far) may… Continue reading The Wild Can’t Underestimate the Value Of Centers – Minnesota Wild
The Vikings’ O-Line Depth Could Take a Large Step Forward with a Single Signing
Credit: Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY Sports So far, the Vikings’ o-line additions have largely been about improving the top end of the talent. Tossing center Ryan Kelly and right guard Will Fries into the mix certainly helps with the overall unit’s potential (at least on paper), but those additions have led to subtractions: cutting Garrett Bradbury… Continue reading The Vikings’ O-Line Depth Could Take a Large Step Forward with a Single Signing
Jared Spurgeon Got Mad Against the Kings. Then He Got Even. – Minnesota Wild
Brian Burke, the former NHL executive turned hockey luminary, has a theory about officiating in hockey. The first call of a game is the most important one because it sets the standard for the rest of the night. It lets players and coaches know where the line is and gives them an idea of what… Continue reading Jared Spurgeon Got Mad Against the Kings. Then He Got Even. – Minnesota Wild

What’s Behind the Wild’s Improved Penalty Kill? – Minnesota Wild
Drink if you’ve heard this before: the Minnesota Wild have a penalty-killing problem. It wasn’t always like this. Before the 2020s, the Wild were synonymous with good shorthanded play. It made sense, given their staunch defensive reputation, which has returned in the 2024-25 season. Strangely, the penalty kill has not followed suit. It seems that… Continue reading What’s Behind the Wild’s Improved Penalty Kill? – Minnesota Wild
Will the Wild Lapse Into A Sunk Cost Fallacy With Brazeau? – Minnesota Wild
The Justin Brazeau trade didn’t make much sense at the time, and it has made even less sense in the weeks since the trade deadline. The Minnesota Wild gave up a 2026 sixth-round pick and two young, cost-controlled fourth-liners, Marat Khusnutdinov and Jakub Lauko, for the Boston Bruins’ 6-foot-6 forward. Brazeau has 10 goals and… Continue reading Will the Wild Lapse Into A Sunk Cost Fallacy With Brazeau? – Minnesota Wild
The Wild Went Half-In At the Deadline and Got Caught In the Middle Again – Minnesota Wild
Bill Guerin had to have gotten antsy at the trade deadline. The Minnesota Wild general manager saw the Dallas Stars trade for and extend Mikko Rantanen, the Colorado Avalanche add Brock Nelson and Charlie Coyle, and the Winnipeg Jets add Brandon Tanev and Luke Schenn. Guerin had to have wanted to get in on that… Continue reading The Wild Went Half-In At the Deadline and Got Caught In the Middle Again – Minnesota Wild
