Having completed offseason overviews for the Eastern Conference, let’s shift our focus out west, beginning with the Central Division. While it wasn’t as busy an offseason for Central teams as it was in the Atlantic and Metropolitan, there was still some player movement. Let’s break down each club’s offseason, starting with the Colorado Avalanche and
Minnesota Wild
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, both the Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals are believed to be interested in Elias Lindholm if the Calgary Flames fail to get him signed to an extension. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Wild are close to finalizing a contract with Filip Gustavsson. Finally, what’s going on between the Philadelphia Flyers, the NHL,
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, the Arizona Coyotes are getting potentially good news as prospect Logan Cooley sounds set to sign an entry-level deal with the team.

In today’s NHL rumors rundown, Patrice Bergeron has announced his retirement from the NHL. Not only is this a huge loss for the game, it’s a huge loss for the Boston Bruins who will immediately start looking for ways to replace his production at center. Meanwhile, Bill Guerin got a promotion with the Minnesota Wild
Everyone knows Kirill Kaprizov is the Minnesota Wild’s number-one player and superstar even after last season’s disappointing finish. He’s been their leading scorer since he joined them in the 2020-21 season and even with an injury this season, he still led the team in points. While it took a little bit for fans to realize
The lack of a number-one center has become the forefront of basically every conversation about what the Minnesota Wild need to be a better team and to progress further in the playoffs. Draft day, trade deadline, and free agency for years now have all been overwhelmed with fans begging general manager Bill Guerin to address
After many years of rumors about Matt Dumba being traded, the Minnesota Wild have finally let him walk to unrestricted free agent (UFA) status and do not appear to have any way to bring him back with multiple teams reportedly interested in the 28-year-old, right-shot defenseman. A Wild roster without Dumba feels strange, as he
Moving along with the Minnesota Wild’s third-line report cards, next up is Sam Steel. He was highly regarded when the Wild brought him on board last summer and he started out the season looking strong. It fizzled out and became somewhat of a rollercoaster after that. He struggled to stay consistent when he was in
The Minnesota Wild are in a salary cap log jam of their own making, but they are not alone. A large percentage of NHL teams are struggling to put a full roster together under the current salary cap of $82.5 million. Despite the obvious relief needed, there is a good chance the cap is only
The Stanley Cup Final is officially underway with Game 1 going to the Vegas Golden Knights in a 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers. Nearly every NHL team has some sort of connection to the Minnesota Wild whether it be a former player, coach, or they played college in Minnesota. At first, the Golden Knights
The final defenseman on the Minnesota Wild’s report card list is also their captain, Jared Spurgeon. After Jonas Brodin, Spurgeon would be the next best defenseman in terms of defensive capabilities alone. However, when it comes to both offense and defense, Spurgeon would be considered the best on the Wild’s roster. He used to go
The Edmonton Oilers might not be making any massive changes to their team that had most of the right pieces to go all the way this year, but they will be making some changes. One area that needs to be addressed is defence as Cody Ceci and Darnell Nurse absolutely cannot be partners next season.

The Minnesota Wild may not be in the 2023 Postseason anymore but that doesn’t mean Wild fans have nothing to cheer about. They have four players that will be playing in the IIHF World Championship taking place in Riga, Latvia, and Tampere, Finland, May 12-28. So there will be plenty of hockey to watch between
J.T. Compher will become an unrestricted free agent (UFA) this summer, giving the Colorado Avalanche some tough decisions to make. They are in desperate need of a second-line center, with few available on the market. The Avalanche also don’t have a ton of cap space to work with, but with Gabriel Landeskog’s injury that will
Matt Dumba is one of the top pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) defensemen set to hit the open market. As a result, he should garner plenty of interest this offseason.
