Locked On Wild - Your Daily Minnesota Wild Podcast

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we turn our sights to 2025-26 to look at how a few simple tweaks could lead to a much more optimal lineup. We take a look at a proposed roster from Twitter that features: 

Kirill Kaprizov-Joel Eriksson Ek, Matt Boldy
Danila Yurov-Marco Rossi-Liam Ohgren
Mats Zuccarello-Marat Khusnutdinov-Riley Heidt
Yakov Trenin-Freddy Gaudreau-Marcus Foligno
Jakob Lauko

Brock Faber-Jonas Brodin
Jared Spurgeon-Zeev Buium
Jake Middleton-Daemon Hunt
Declan Chisholm

Jesper Wallstedt
Filip Gustavsson

And what it would take to make that roster a reality. Some moves (Johansson for Yurov) match up perfectly, but it seems likely that Bill Guerin will have to move at least one of the players he inked to a long term extension. We also discuss why waiting until 2025-26 to put this in motion could entice Kirill Kaprizov to stay (IF IT PANS OUT). We also discuss why it's still on John Hynes and Bill Guerin to make this roster happen.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins the show as we recap the news that Declan Chisholm signed a 1 year deal to stay with the Wild after being acquired via waiver claim from the Winnipeg Jets. We look at the areas Chisholm was able to help the Wild last year, and how he quickly leapfrogged Alex Goligoski and Jon Merrill on the depth chart. We discuss what this means for the rest of the defensive prospects and their timelines for joining the NHL roster. We also discuss Marat Khusnutdinov's KHL rights being traded to SKA St. Petersburg, the team that limited his minutes and resulted in him being acquired by HC Sochi. We discuss what this actually means, and why it shouldn't be a major concern for Wild fans. We finish by discussing Development Camp, and look at the roster of prospects and invitees that will be taking part! The Development Camp roster includes:

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we audit the Minnesota Wild salary cap situation to see what they actually have available for 2025-26! We add in upcoming extensions as well as expected ELCs that will be on roster to see if it is true that there will be money available to pursue a top six upgrade. We also look at the trade protections on various contracts and how they stack up against the rest of the NHL (hint: the Wild are near the top of the league in NMCs). We also discuss why it may not be as simple as simply trading a player off the roster to free up a roster spot for upcoming prospects.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we discuss the signing of Yakov Trenin. We look at why, just like many recent signings and extensions, on it's own Trenin is a fine add for the Minnesota Wild. We discuss the attitude he brings as well as his ability to contribute on the Penalty Kill, but why his arrival further clouds a muddled bottom six picture. We look at what this means for Marat Khusnutdinov, Liam Ohgren and others, and why moving an underperforming player off the roster makes way too much sense (IF THE WILD CAN FIND A WILLING BUYER). We discuss the depth additions of Travis Boyd and Devin Shore, who may not factor into Minnesota at all but bring needed experience to Iowa. We also discuss the addition of Jack Capuano to the coaching staff, and why the only thing that matters with his addition is if the Penalty Kill improves. We also discuss what to watch for as the rest of Free Agency plays out.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins as we recap a very successful 2024 Draft Class for the Wild! We discuss how Zeev Buium fell to the Wild, and why no matter what Philadelphia says it looks like they fumbled the bag by not selecting Buium due to his "lack of size". We also discuss some initial thoughts on the other top picks Ryder Ritchie and Aron Kiviharju. We also discuss the acquisition of Jakub Lauko from Boston and what he brings to the table. We discuss the players the Wild gave qualifying offers to in Graeme Clarke, Adam Raska, Sammy Walker and Declan Chisholm. We also look at the reasons that Sam Hentges, Dmitry Ovchinnikov, Mason Shaw, Simon Johansson and Hunter Jones were not extended qualifying offers. We finish by discussing Free Agency, and why it's likely the Wild do something even if they don't have a ton of money to spend.

Seth and Isha also discuss Ryan Suter being bought out by the Stars and now being on the payroll of two different franchises.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we jump into the war room and talk our way through various draft scenarios for the Minnesota Wild. We look at recent mock drafts, with options for defensemen sliding to 13  such as Carter Yakemchuk or Anton Silayev. We also discuss forward options if the top defensemen all are gone before the Wild pick, such as Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, Konsta Helenius, Tij Iginla and more. We also talk draft strategy and other things to watch for during round 1 of the NHL Draft!

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we start by looking at Detroit's efforts to open up additional cap space yesterday that just so happens to be almost all of Filip Gustavsson's cap hit. We look at their lack of quality goalies on roster, but also discuss today's rumors that John Gibson is on the block and Detroit being involved in discussions for him. We look at what could be a big hurdle for the Wild to send Gustavsson to Detroit in Ville Husso's contract, and why Anaheim could easily take it on as a short term timeshare with Lukas Dostal. We move to the Jets looking to move Rutger McGroarty after his decision to return to Michigan without a clear path to the NHL level with the Jets. We discuss whether the 13th pick, Marco Rossi or otherwise would get it done, and why it may be worth monitoring if the Wild don't see the draft board go their way. We finish by discussing the Utah Hockey Club's pursuit of top 4 defensemen, and why the Wild could have potentially helped them out if not for their defensive prospects not being ready for NHL playing time yet.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins as we start by gearing up for the NHL Draft on Friday. We talk about the need to draft best player available, as opposed to drafting for specific needs. We look at the areas the Wild should target depending on the board and how it plays out, such as defense and goaltending. We move to what looks like an inevitable hiring at this point with Jack Capuano rumored to be taking Darby Hendrickson's assistant coaching spot on John Hynes' staff. We look at the numbers defensively and on the Penalty Kill for Ottawa over the last few years with Capuano on the staff, and why this seems like an uninspiring move made by Bill Guerin and John Hynes. We finish by discussing Game 7 tonight between Edmonton and Florida, and how the Oilers have pushed Florida to the brink with a combination of stars carrying the load, role players stepping up, and a dominant Penalty Kill (wouldn't it be nice if the Wild took some notes here?).

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we say goodbye to Adam Beckman as he was traded to New Jersey. We look at Beckman's stats, and why it never seemed like he was put in a position to get meaningful minutes here. We discuss what Graeme Clarke brings to the table, including a look at his dynamic shot. We discuss the opportunities he could challenge for on the roster, and where his stats would have ranked him on the Wild roster this year. We finish by looking at the opportunities on the roster that are still available heading into next season!

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we go Ballin on a Budget ahead of Free Agency starting on July 1st! We take a look at secondary free agents (not named Jake Guentzel, Steven Stamkos, Sam Reinhart or David Perron) that the Wild should consider if we operate under the parameters that they have to get somebody! We start with Adam Foegele, fresh off of his best season in the NHL and a solid contributor role with the Oilers. We look at where his statistics would have ranked on the Wild roster, and how he could provide some needed even strength scoring. We also discuss Daniel Sprong, David Perron's teammate. We discuss other free agents such as Danton Heinien, as well as the physical play Dakota Joshua could provide. We finish with Chandler Stephenson as one name that can bring a bit of winning pedigree if the Wild want to go that option!

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we react to the trade of Jacob Markstrom to New Jersey. We look at the return, a 2025 1st round pick and a young NHL ready defenseman to try to gauge what Gustavsson could fetch in return. We look at the teams who are in need of Gustavsson the most, from Buffalo and Detroit to potentially the Los Angeles Kings, even though they traded Pierre-Luc Dubois to Washington for Darcy Kuemper. We also discuss the importance of getting a good return and not just trading Gustavsson "just to make a move".

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we evaluate the 2023-24 season for Mats Zuccarello. We look at how the season took a Wild turn from him occupying the top line with Kirill Kaprizov to star the year, to finishing the year with Marco Rossi and trying to provide a second scoring line to complement a dominant top line. We look at Zuccarello's splits, and his even strength scoring taking a hit despite continued strong Power Play numbers. We hear your comments and hand out grades in the following categories:

Offense: 2.5/5
Defense: 3/5
Special Teams: 4/5

We give Zuccarello a C- for his overall body of work. Yes his numbers on the Power Play were good, and yes the lack of production for the 2nd line wasn't entirely his fault, but a big challenge for Mats going forward is going to be how to score more consistently on his own line. We discuss the factors that can help him do that in 2024-25 to finish out the show, such as calling his own number for shots more and a much more consistent wing opposite him on his line.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins us as we discuss the rumored "Wild rebrand" that lasted for less than a day by asking if it is something the Wild should give serious thought to. We discuss the 78s as well as the current color scheme. Alex and Seth also discuss the organizational philosophy and wonder if it would make sense to grab a successful college coach to run things in the AHL with news that Grant Potulny is leaving Northern Michigan for an NHL organizational role. Seth and Alex also recap Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final and whether or not Edmonton has enough momentum to turn this into a series!
