Ryan Hartman Must Find His Scoring This Season
- Mikki Tuohy
- August 26, 2024
In what has become a repeated refrain in looking back on the 2023-24 season, Ryan Hartman was another Minnesota Wild player who fell off his scoring trend and couldn’t get out of his slump. This year, he’s one of the middle six players who will be expected to improve, especially after being called out by […]

- August 12, 2024
Matt Boldy signed his big, well-deserved contract extension in 2023 and when it hit last year, he managed to get even better. After taking over as the lead scorer while Kirill Kaprizov was out with an injury for a handful of games, Boldy continued on a good scoring streak. During the last 10 games of […]
Read MoreKaprizov Could Come Back With a Vengeance
- Mikki Tuohy
- August 9, 2024
Kirill Kaprizov spent a good amount of time last season playing through an injury. It was obvious, especially when he came back from some time off and looked more like the superstar he usually is. With a longer-than-usual time off to heal, Kaprizov should be back in top shape and ready to make a bigger […]
Read MoreJoel Eriksson Ek Is Steadily Improving His Game
- Mikki Tuohy
- August 8, 2024
Joel Eriksson Ek is unequivocally the most important player on the Minnesota Wild because he can do anything they need him to do. He takes the tough faceoffs, screens the goalie well, and scores goals. He is the first over the boards for power plays, penalty kills, and overtime. And best of all, he is […]

- July 29, 2024
It hasn’t been a secret that the Minnesota Wild would be re-signing Minnesota native Brock Faber to a mega contract extension this summer, which is the first chance they’ve been able to as his current ELC contract doesn’t expire until after the 2024-25 season. And today, they finally announced the new contract. After an amazing […]
Read MoreThe First Boring Summer for the Minnesota Wild
- Mikki Tuohy
- July 20, 2024
I was just sitting here thinking about how boring this summer has been for the Minnesota Wild. Of course, the lack of an off-season contributed to that, but there was something I couldn’t quite put my finger on until today. The past three summers (at least!) have been a little bit TOO exciting surrounding the […]

The Minnesota Wild announced that they have signed center Yakov Trenin to a four-year contract with a $3.5 million yearly cap hit. The Wild have been looking for a way to build up their middle six after a disappointing showing last season, specifically by Freddy Gaudreau and Marcus Johansson. After trading away most of the […]

- Tyler Smith
- June 13, 2024
The Boston Bruins hired General Manager Don Sweeney on May 20, 2015. Sweeney has signed 216 players, drafted 54, and made 42 trades since that time. Bruins fans would probably like to forget about some of the draft picks (especially the 1st round in 2015) and some of the trades (Kirill Kaprizov for a 5th-round […]

- Mikki Tuohy
- April 9, 2024
Connor Bedard is a young, generational talent at the beginning of what will be an amazing career. I’m excited to watch him grow and develop his talent even further than where it already is. But at this moment in time, I would not trade Brock Faber for Connor Bedard. Before I dive in, I’d like […]
