Minnesota Wild target New Jersey Devils’ Nico Hischier in a bold bid to solve their persistent 1C issue—could a blockbuster trade be on the horizon? Kirill Kaprizov’s sizzling form ignites hopes for a deep postseason push, as the Wild battle through injuries and jockey for position behind the Dallas Stars in a cutthroat Central Division race.
Seth Toupal and Alex Micheletti dissect roster shakeups, the return of key pieces like Matt Boldy and Joel Eriksson Ek, and weigh backup goaltender options if Jesper Wallstedt is dealt. The episode explores Hischier’s two-way prowess, faceoff dominance, and fit alongside Eriksson Ek, questioning how such a move would impact Minnesota’s playoff strategy. With Colorado Avalanche and Dallas looming, the Wild’s willingness to swing big may decide their fate—can management keep Quinn Hughes happy and build a true Cup contender?

Mornin boys🤝
What’s up with Boldy turning into a monster when we’re short handed
What a win last night! My wife usually tells me to calm down, but even she went off on the too many men on the ice “no call”. Anyway. Well deserved 2 points. Let’s GO WILD!
Hischier is definitely a better choice, 55% face off, ~70 points player and <2 year left in contract (matching Jesper’s most importantly). Jack cannot win face-off, and we have enough drivers already.
Wow,do I have some news for you tonight, you won't believe what I'm bringing to the TABLE
DENNY
Two games in a row where the officiating has been terrible. The Florida game they were appx 8 penalties, I might have called 2 max. Last night, what can you say, it seemed slanted to say the least. I will would not trade Wallstedt, having two goalies of this potential is an asset, injuries can always happen. Find another way or let this group work it out themselves.
I still think they should put Tarasenko higher in the line up and the first power play unit when they do he produces let them try when nobody is injured to put him up there just saying
Great win Wild. I thought they were out of it when it was 3-0. Nice comeback. Officiating was terrible as always. I watch a lot of games on ESPN+ and I see bad officiating in many games. It's a joke and has been for many years
MAN! That referee seemed so into himself and his near figure skating when he took the ice! Just watching him he looked like a dude with an agenda to punish the Wild!!! They all coordinated with an in the tank for Chicago approach. It was sickening! They almost ruined Denny's Birthday!!!
Micheletti Monday on a Wednesday. Better late than never……….Guerin has got to make some sort of upgrade at centre that "top line" is inept…….
How about trading Jersey for BOTH Hughes Bros?
Only problem I have with these kind of questions is that there will be 30 other teams interested in getting him. How could the Wild possibly outbid Carolina, Buffalo, and Philly? I just don't see it happening unless BG massively overpays with Wally + Yurov + two 1sts…
If Billy doesn't sign Hayden Stavroff this offseason. I will be very disappointed.
