Two Rookies of the Year? Edwards, Kaprizov aim for rare feat

The most encouraging story line for Minnesota's two biggest winter sports teams — the Wild and Timberwolves — is a concurrent one: the development of young players on both teams that have the potential to be transcendent stars for years to come.

With the emergence of the Wild's Kirill Kaprizov and the Wolves' Anthony Edwards, too, comes a rare opportunity: for one market to perhaps have the Rookie of the Year in both the NBA and NHL.

Our own Kent Youngblood wondered on Twitter just how rare that is, which sparked a dive into history and led me to talk about this subject more on Monday's Daily Delivery podcast.
