Minnesota Wild 2025-26 season preview covering the five biggest questions heading into training camp. Will superstar Kirill Kaprizov re-sign with the Wild? Where will top prospect Danila Yurov fit in the lineup? How will the blue line look with Jonas Brodin injured?

With Marco Rossi now signed to a 3-year deal, the Wild roster is nearly set for training camp starting September 18th. GM Bill Guerin remains optimistic about Kaprizov negotiations, while young prospects like Buium, Yurov, and Liam Ohgren look to make their mark.
Training camp will be crucial for determining lineup spots, especially with Brodin’s injury opening opportunities for young defensemen. Tarasenko brings veteran scoring punch on a prove-it deal, while Sturm returns to provide fourth-line depth and penalty killing.
