- Mikko Koivu is probably going to retire when the season officially ends. Unfortunately his last ride with the Wild was pretty uneventful. [Hockey Wilderness]
- What was the worst draft class in Wild history? Believe it or not, it’s not the 2017 class headlined by Filip Johansson. [The Athletic]
- There are a whole lot of Minnesota-born hockey players in the world, but which one is the best? [Zone Coverage]
- The NHL and NHLPA continue to discuss a new CBA, and it sounds like Olympic participation is a significant point of interest in these conversations.
