Barnwell proposes Mac Jones trade the 49ers might not be able to refuse“Vikings get: QB Mac Jones, 2027 third-round pick. 49ers get: 2026 second-round pick, 2027 fifth-round pick (conditional), 2028 third-round pick (conditional). “The 2027 conditional pick would trigger based on Jones’ playing time with the Vikings,” Barnwell explained. “If he starts four games in […]
It was February of 2003. Kevin Garnett walked into the All-Star Game as the Timberwolves’ lone representative, our one-man franchise, and walked out with the MVP trophy after leading the Western Conference to a win. I remember sitting in my college apartment obsessively tracking every KG rebound and elbow jumper like it was Game 7 […]

Not only was the NBA All-Star Game’s new format an absolutely wonderful improvement, leading to competitive games for the first time in what feels like years, but the lone all-star weekend representative of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards, won All-Star Game MVP. While Kawhi Leonard took over his home arena, it was Edwards’ USA Stars […]
There are a lot of players I want to see at the combine. I wonder how many will run and work out though? I really like Sonny Styles and Makai Lemon (I know – homer). Since I am a huge USC fan and watch every game, Lemon just kept making plays even when the defenses […]
The Minnesota Wild are gearing up to finally make an impact in the playoffs after acquiring Quinn Hughes and looking to do more. By do more, there is a high chance that a center is brought in. They feel they need an upgrade to be able to go toe-to-toe with the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche and actually make a deep run. The center depth is as follows: Ryan Hartman, Joel Eriksson Ek, Daniil Yurov, and Nico Sturm. Given the production and overall play, I only see one top-6 center, Eriksson ...

Wallstedt is by far the Wild's best trade chip, and he could be landing multiple pieces from the Blues if this deal comes to fruition, projected by The Athletic's James Mirtle ...

David Jiříček has had to be patient. Since requesting a trade out of the Columbus Blue Jackets organization, the sixth overall pick of the 2022 Draft has yet to carve out a spot during his 15 months with the Minnesota Wild. Unfortunately, he's had to be patient in getting his first point for t...
The Steelers have a new offensive coordinator, with the team announcing the hiring of Vikings pass-game coordinator and tight ends coach Brian Angelichio as Pittsburgh’s new offensive coordinator in early February. While Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said he’ll be calling plays for Pittsburgh, Angelichio will still play a sizable role in the team’s weekly […]
If the Minnesota Wild miss out on a true first-line center again, they cannot afford to simply “run it back” with the same forward group. In that scenario, aggressively pursuing a prime-age, top-six winger like Jordan Kyrou should move from a luxury option to an immediate priority. Minnesota’s...
