Connor McDavid’s Optimal Wingers
The 2017-18 edition of the Edmonton Oilers will not be a playoff team. That’s the tough reality facing Peter Chiarelli, Todd McLellan and the rest of the organization as they close out an extremely disappointing season of hockey. Now that the hope of a postseason berth is nothing more than a distant memory, the Oilers […]
The Strome Piece in the Oilers Puzzle
Ryan Strome faced an uphill battle from the moment the news of his trade from the New York Islanders to the Edmonton Oilers was made public in June 2017. Fairly or unfairly, the then 23-year-old forward was expected by many to offset the offensive void created by the departure of Jordan Eberle, the very man […]
Revisiting the Wild’s 2000 Expansion Draft
This article was originally written in September, 2016. As Las Vegas has been awarded a National Hockey League expansion team that will begin playing in the 2017-18 season, I thought it would be interesting to revisit the league’s last expansion draft which saw the Minnesota Wild and Columbus Blue Jackets officially join the NHL prior […]
Fixing the Wild’s 4th Line Carousel
The Minnesota Wild are in the midst of the most successful season in franchise history. The team sits first in the Central Division, first in the Western Conference and second in the NHL’s overall standings.

Could the Wild Look Abroad for Roster Help?
We are now well into the NHL’s salary cap era where each of the 30 (soon to be 31) teams are constantly working on their own secret blueprints as they attempt to annually ice a competitive roster while staying below the league’s salary cap. We’ve seen teams attempt to bolster their rosters by overspending in July […]
Minnesota Wild Midseason Awards
It’s safe to say that the Minnesota Wild have surprised everybody with their success in the first half of the 2016-17 NHL season. The team finished fifth in the Central Division one year ago and, without much roster turnover during the course of the offseason, the team was expected to again be in a dog […]

Wild’s Tough Expansion Options
Is there honestly any other team in a worse position than the Minnesota Wild entering the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft? Should they protect four defensemen to ensure the likes of Jonas Brodin and Matt Dumba remain integral parts of their blue line, or should they accept losing one of them in favor of keeping core forwards like Nino Niederreiter […]
The Right Call for Eriksson Ek?
Minnesota Wild prospect Joel Eriksson Ek got off to a hot start in his first season in North America and his play on the ice was making it seem like he was here to stay. The Swedish forward enjoyed some early success on the score sheet and appeared to be quickly eliminating all questions of whether or […]
Minnesota Wild 2016-17 Season Preview
If there is one word that could be used to describe the Minnesota Wild’s 2015-16 season, it would be ‘inconsistent’. The veteran team experienced another year full of extreme highs and frustrating lows as they managed to sneak their way into the playoffs for the fourth straight campaign. The Wild finished the regular season with 87 points and qualified for the postseason as the second wildcard team […]
Uncovering the Wild’s Most Underrated Player
When the average hockey fan talks about the Minnesota Wild these days their conversations often include the likes of Ryan Suter, Zach Parise, Mikko Koivu, Eric Staal, or Devan Dubnyk.

3 Wild Players Desperately Needing Bounce Back Seasons
The 2015-16 season wasn’t the most memorable one for a handful of current Minnesota Wild players. Big names like Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu didn’t exactly have career years last year but both men did put up respectable numbers as they led a Wild offense that continued to experience its annual struggles. At the same time, the […]
Dubnyk Standing Tall in Wild Crease
It wasn’t that long ago that Minnesota Wild netminder Devan Dubnyk’s career as an NHL goaltender, let alone a starting NHL goaltender, appeared to be in serious jeopardy. By the end of his five-year tenure as a member of the Edmonton Oilers, the 6-feet-6-inch puckstopper was seeing more rubber per game than just about any […]
