The Minnesota Wild are no doubt going to be busy this summer. Aside from signing their two prized top forwards to new contracts — please stay Kirill Kaprizov and Kevin Fiala — they have already signed Joel Eriksson Ek to an eight-year deal, bought out both Ryan Suter and Zach Parise, signaling a massive leadership change, and will also lose another player to the expansion draft later this week.
With some holes to fill and the treacherous dead cap hits provided by the aforementioned buyouts next season, this year is the year to target some free agents.
