The Minnesota Wild earned 3 of a possible 4 points in their weekend games and are currently sitting with 71 points and in a Western Conference wildcard spot. This is all happening despite the selling off of players over the past month.
The Minnesota Wild are a new look team after trading Nino Neiderreiter, Mikael Granlund, Matt Hendricks and Charlie Coyle before the trade deadline. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He suggested that Jason Zucker will be the next to be dealt after the season.
Minnesota is now in sole possession of the top Wild Card spot in the crowded Western Conference playoff race. The Wild will get a few days off before playing at Calgary Saturday night.
