The Minnesota Wild entered this season with zero expectations. Not sure where they want to go with prospects on the horizon, they acquired one-year rental type players to determine their fate. Either they have career years and they get to bolster a playoff run with no long-term commitment, or they’re sold to the highest bidder as the Wild try to get future assets for expiring contracts.
Well, the first part looks like it might happen.
After a heroic 4-3 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Kings and in the middle of a win streak that has spanned six games, Minnesota are sitting second in terms of odds to win the whole damn thing.
