Latest news and updates about the Wild

When looking at Bill Guerin's GM of the Year campaign, the Quinn Hughes trade stands as the No. 1 reason he landed the hardware. Retaining Kirill Kaprizov was another headline-grabber, and to a lesser extent, so was adding Michael McCarron and key depth pieces at the trade deadline. But a big p...

Of all the Minnesota Wild’s early-offseason moves, signing Calvin Pickard has gone a bit overlooked. It makes sense, given that Pickard is a veteran netminder who only played 16 NHL games last season. Still, the goaltender will likely appear in net for Minnesota, particularly early in the seas...

The Minnesota Wild were active during the first few days of free agency, which saw several signings as well as a trade that sent defenseman Jake Middleton, along with several…
The Minnesota Wild need to swing at something big this offseason to make it worth it. So far, all they've done is tinkered around the edges -- they haven't even re-signed Quinn Hughes to the extension that he more than deserves. The business Bill Guerin has done so far has largely been just shufflin...

Free agency exposes the different ways that fans enjoy hockey each year. It’s something we also see at the trade deadline. Some fans watch the sport through the lens of stats. What matters is points, plus-minus, slot shots, penalty minutes. Some are so stringent that they prefer the numbers to any s...
On Thursday, the Calgary Flames traded Blake Coleman to the Minnesota Wild. In a vacuum, it’s a pretty important trade, moving a big part of the lineup – on and off the ice – to a contender for future assets. But in the larger scheme of things, it continues a pretty clear trend under general…

Imagine, if you will: It was a sunny morning at the Tarps Off Bar and Grill. Located on one of the 10,000 lakes in the state, the Minnesota Wild were enjoying their summer with plenty of beverages and pouches flying around. But there was also something in the distance. Wild general manager...
The first day of free agency in the NHL saw quite a bit of movement, and the Wild were a minor part of that, but not what most were expecting.…
Mats Zuccarello’s departure from the Minnesota Wild leaves a gap that goes far beyond the stat sheet. While his production has been consistently strong, the deeper loss lies in his chemistry with Kirill Kaprizov and the stability he brought to the team’s offensive identity. For a franchise buil...

Contract talks continue between the Stars and Jason Robertson, the Red Wings set a high asking price for the Wild for Dylan Larkin, and the Rangers were interested in Alexander Nikishin.
Entering free agency with the fourth-fewest dollars to spend against the salary cap, the Minnesota Wild needed to play Moneyball. The core of "Moneyball" was that GM Brad Pitt* had to find bargains, mostly through unearthing players with obvious warts and hidden upside. Guys who were old, played bad...
Another domino has fallen. The Calgary Flames announced Thursday that they have traded Blake Coleman, along with Olli Maatta, to the Minnesota Wild for defenceman Jake Middleton and a second, third and fourth round pick.
