An otherwise slow Wild news day was thrown for a bit of a loop when Josh Yohe of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ beat at The Athletic posted this:
The discussion is as follows:
The Wild would receive: Phil Kessel, and potentially Jack Johnson
The Penguins would receive: Jason Zucker, and potentially Victor Rask.
The potential pros for the Wild here are pretty numerous. Kessel has been nearly a point-per-game player for the Penguins over his four years in Pittsburgh, including 82 points in 82 games last year.
