The Wild (And The Rest of the NHL) Would Benefit From A Different Playoff Format – Minnesota Wild

Playing Zeev Buium Would Help the Wild’s Short- and Long-Term Goals – Minnesota Wild
Tonight’s not the night. The Minnesota Wild announced that Zeev Buium won’t play Tuesday as the team tries to sew up their playoff spot in Game 82. If the team isn’t willing to put their top prospect into the lineup for a must-win game against the 35-37-8 Anaheim Ducks, it’s far from guaranteed that he’d… Continue reading Playing Zeev Buium Would Help the Wild’s Short- and Long-Term Goals – Minnesota Wild

Following a 2024 misdemeanor DUI citation, the Minnesota Vikings could be without former first-round pick Jordan Addison in the 2025 season if he faces any suspension from the NFL.

The Wild Would Be Wise To Keep Liam Öhgren At the Trade Deadline – Minnesota Wild
Based on what we’ve seen so far, there’s only one way that Liam Öhgren is helping the Minnesota Wild get to the playoffs this year. As trade bait. I don’t say that disrespectfully or because there’s any shame in not being ready for an NHL playoff run as a 21-year-old rookie. Öhgren can create his… Continue reading The Wild Would Be Wise To Keep Liam Öhgren At the Trade Deadline – Minnesota Wild

Dylan Cozens Would Be A Potential Minefield For the Wild – Minnesota Wild
Very suddenly, it seems like the Minnesota Wild could have a little bit of wiggle room at the trade deadline. If Joel Eriksson Ek’s injury keeps him out until the end of the regular season, the Wild could take advantage of LTIR and free up $5.25 million of cap space. That would change things from… Continue reading Dylan Cozens Would Be A Potential Minefield For the Wild – Minnesota Wild
What Would A Marco Rossi Long-Term Deal Look Like? – Minnesota Wild
Marco Rossi is a hockey blogger’s dream. Drafted 9th overall, he was undersized but supremely skilled. That combination made him a content factory. Following the draft, Rossi experienced life-threatening complications from COVID-19 and has gritted his way back to a development path typical of a top-ten draft pick. Even during that development, he’s been reluctantly… Continue reading What Would A Marco Rossi Long-Term Deal Look Like? – Minnesota Wild
D.J. Reed Would Unlock Brian Flores’ Defense
The Minnesota Vikings’ defense has been one of the most dynamic groups in the NFL since Brian Flores took over in 2023. Few defensive schemers display the illusion of complexity as effectively as Flores, which has hidden some weak points — for the first ~80% of the season, anyway. Everything on the defense is intertwined,… Continue reading D.J. Reed Would Unlock Brian Flores’ Defense
