Vincent Trocheck is a highly sought-after target for contenders looking for a center at this coming Friday's trade deadline. The New York Rangers ' two-way pivot has a reasonable $5.625 AAV, and it runs for three more years. Most observers around the sport have been connecting Trocheck to the Minnesota Wild. We know he has made it clear that he wants to stay in the "East" , but whether or not Minneapolis is "East", or at least "non-West", enough remains to be seen. He does hold that 12-t...

The Minnesota Wild have already pulled off the trade of the season, acquiring Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks, and word is, general manager Bill Guerin is far from finished. The Wild are in the market for top-line forwards, depth forwards, and ideally, players with playoff experience, who can bring some more winning pedigree into the dressing room, for what the team hopes is a long Stanley Cup Playoff run this year. In order to add another significant piece up front, Guerin's going to ...

The Minnesota Wild are gearing up to finally make an impact in the playoffs after acquiring Quinn Hughes and looking to do more. By do more, there is a high chance that a center is brought in. They feel they need an upgrade to be able to go toe-to-toe with the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche and actually make a deep run. The center depth is as follows: Ryan Hartman, Joel Eriksson Ek, Daniil Yurov, and Nico Sturm. Given the production and overall play, I only see one top-6 center, Eriksson ...
The Minnesota Wild already pulled off one blockbuster trade this season, and it sounds like there's growing speculation that there's another one coming. Word is, GM Bill Guerin is using goaltender Jesper Wallstedt as a trade chip in talks, and one team that has aligned perfectly as a trade partner - the St. Louis Blues. Wallstedt is by far the Wild's best trade chip, and he could be landing multiple pieces from the Blues if this deal comes to fruition, projected by The Athletic's James Mirtle ...
