Latest blog entries from Minnesota teams across every league
There are games that you want to remember and ones you want to forget. There are games where everything goes perfectly, and games where everything goes terribly. There are also games like tonight, where seemingly all of those things happen all at once. Most nights, that would be a nightmare to watch and even worse […]
The Minnesota Wild don’t necessarily need another star; they need another reliable finisher. That's why Toronto Maple Leafs’ winger Bobby McMann is an intriguing target. McMann isn't a household name, but his production suggests he could be exactly the type of secondary scoring winger Minnesota need...
All good things must come to an end, and a nine-game winning streak in Grapefruit League/exhibition play only really registers so much as “good.” The Yankees lost a fake baseball game for the first time since February 22nd, and they did so with a starting pitcher who will probably not be a starter for them […]
The Florida Panthers have entered the seller's market as we approach the trade deadline, sending veteran defenseman Jeff Petry to the Minnesota Wild for a conditional 7th-round pick. We have acquired Jeff Petry from the Florida Panthers. 📰 Full detail » https://t.co/I6aC7YxNEo pic.twitter.com/NRBcG3JwcV — Minnesota Wild (@mnwild) March 5, 2026 The pick has a unique condition on it: It b ecomes a fifth-round selection in the 2026 NHL Draft if Minnesota wins two playoff rounds and Petry pl...
First Pitch (CT): 12:05TV: Twins.TV (via YES)Radio: NAKnow Yo’ Foe: Pinstripe Alley What to watch: Luke Keaschall, left fielder?? Good to get some reps out there since he’ll likely be used to platoon Larnach/Wallner/Roden/Outman/Rodriguez against lefties. Lineups
As the rumors and signs that Kyler Murray may sign with the Minnesota Vikings after he is released next week by the Arizona Cardinals heat up (the Vikings are the clear favorite to land Murray in betting markets), questions arise about Murray and his fit with the Vikings’ offense, his commitment to his craft, and […]

The Minnesota Wild should avoid a Ryan O'Reilly trade because the timing of his age curve and the structure of his contract clash with where this roster and cap sheet are headed over the next few seasons. Ryan O’Reilly is 35 and is firmly in the back half of his career. Even for elite two-way c...

For the record, Coach Jon Cooper isn’t worried about the team right now. Yes, he acknowledges that they’re not playing well, but he’s confident that the team will figure it out. For 55 games or so this has been a tough defensive team that makes opponents work for every goal. Right now that’s not happening and the Minnesota loss was a microcosm of the losing streak. They gifted the Wild a stretch of power plays that ended with a Mats Zuccarello power play goal to make it 2-0. Then Andrei V...
There's no doubt that Bill Guerin is feeling himself right now. Coming off a Kirill Kaprizov extension, the Quinn Hughes trade, and a Gold Medal win with Team USA, he's maybe the strongest contender for GM of the Year. And especially with the gold medal, he did it his way. Guerin took criticism...
As of Wednesday morning, the Nashville Predators have been the most active team this week as we steam toward Friday's trade deadline. They shipped out two pending unrestricted free agents on Tuesday, sending Cole Smith to the Vegas Golden Knights, and Michael McCarron to the Minnesota Wild. Will they remain this active as the week progresses? While most hockey fans are salivating about the big names like Steven Stamkos, Ryan O'Reilly and/or Jonathan Marchessault potentially being next on the b...
Last week, I wrote about the two Twins players whose MLB careers lasted one game. (And thanks to BH-Baseball for sharing, in a comment below the article, about Senators one-game, one-legged pitcher Bert Shepard.) If this were earlier in the offseason, I’d make this a series (and I still might, just next offseason); as it […]
The Cleveland Guardians never look great when the season starts and somehow, they manage to win. The Detroit Tigers have loaded up on pitching to try to squeeze a postseason year out of Tarik Skubal’s walk year. The White Sox are better. The Royals stood (mostly) pat. And the Twins, yikes. Chicago White Sox Key […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves still well in the hunt for home court advantage in the playoffs. How did they get there? Their seesaw effort certainly had to do with it. The front office tinkering with some marginal moves had an effect. We asked, and 50 of you responded with who you thought contributed the most. It’s […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Minnesota Wild are becoming more and more plausible trade partners as Friday's deadline creeps closer. Maple Leafs forwards Scott Laughton and Bobby McMann have both acknowledged the noise around their names, and the Wild's general manager Bill Guerin is clearly in the market for forward help as the Central Division race tightens. Maple Leafs Wild trade partners for Scott Laughton Laughton feels like the best fit if Minnesota wants a dependable middle of t...
The Minnesota Wild have made their first trade in the week of the deadline! Boy, we hope it's someone cool and good and truly makes a massive impact on the team and the Wild didn't give up too much -- but we also understand if it was needed to give up a bunch of assets and... Wait, the Wild tra...
49ers linked to Vikings pass rusher Jonathan Greenard amid trade report “A lot of the 49ers’ inability to generate pass rush last year was the byproduct of Nick Bosa missing most of the year after he tore his ACL,” DeArdo wrote. “But even with Bosa slated to make a full recovery, it would still make sense […]
It may have a new name, but the home arena for the Minnesota Wild continues to be a house of horrors for the Tampa Bay Lightning. The newly christened Grand Casino Arena witnessed another loss, their fourteenth out of nineteen games played there, for the Lightning as they fell 5-1 to home team. Matt Boldy had three assists while Kirill Kaprizov (after striking iron three times) set Minnesota’s franchise goal record with an empty-netter. As has been the case since returning from the Olympi...
It may not have looked like much, but it was honest work. Coming in as 13.5-point favorites over a tanking Memphis Grizzlies team, Tuesday night shaped up to be one of those matchups for a Minnesota Timberwolves team and fanbase that have been tortured by a lack of effort and defensive intensity against teams trying […]

Michael McCarron is one of the biggest names (as in, 6-foot-6, 232 pounds) available this week for teams looking for a massive, rugged presence in their bottom-six heading into the playoffs. The Nashville Predators pulled the pending UFA from their lineup Tuesday night, and we learned shortly after that he has been traded to the Minnesota Wild. TRADE ALERT: #MNWild acquire Michael McCarron from #Preds for 2028 2nd round pick, per @RussoHockey — NHL News (@PuckReportNHL) March 4, 20...
When the Vegas Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup in 2023, Jonathan Marchessault surprised everyone by becoming the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoff MVP because he of his huge impact in the Stanley Cup Final. Marchessault scored 13 goals and 25 points in 22 games, leading the team in goals, with...
