Let’s go over some news and notes:
- Independence Day was this past weekend, so we decided to rank all of the Wild’s American-born players. [Hockey Wilderness]
- Greg Pateryn’s 2019-20 season was not ideal. Not because of his play on the ice, but because of how rarely he was on the ice at all. [Hockey Wilderness]
- Gary Bettman’s the absolute worst, right? Apparently not! NHL fans seem to think he’s the best commissioner of the four major sports leagues in North America. [Hockey Wilderness]
- Does Kaapo Kahkonen have a chance to start for the Wild during their play-in series?
