The Minnesota Wild might have temporarily solved their center problem.
On Tuesday afternoon, out of nowhere, the team announced that they have acquired centr Tyson Jost from the Colorado Avalanche for depth center Nico Sturm.
Jost, 24, has fallen out of favor for the Avalanche. The former 10th overall pick was most recently playing bottom-six minutes, albeit on a very top-heavy Colorado team, and has seen his minutes decline over a full 60 seconds on average compared to last season. Through 59 games this season, Jost has six goals and 14 points.
