The Zeev Buium Era Should Start This Season – Minnesota Wild
Brock Faber set an unrealistic standard for Minnesota Wild defensive prospects. The former Golden Gopher came straight from getting to the National Championship Game to the NHL lineup for a playoff team.

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
