Happy Friyay Wilderness!
In what turned out to be a pretty eventful Thursday for the Minnesota Wild, the team topped the headlines during the waiting period before the Stanley Cup Final kicks off on Monday. Thursday morning the Wild announced the hiring of Hall of Famer Mike Modano as Executive Advisor. He is back in the State of Hockey! Then later in the day a trade rumor broke, involving the Wild’s Jason Zucker and Victor Rask for the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Phil Kessel and Jack Johnson, per Josh Yohe of The Athletic.
