Minnesota Wild: Minnesota Wild GM Paul Fenton on the draft: “We are going to get a very good player, doesn’t matter the position…I’m always exploring (on moving up).”
Michael Russo of The Athletic: Teams continue to call Wild GM Paul Fenton about winger Jason Zucker.
Aside from the Pittsburgh Penguins, it’s believed the Wild have spoken with the Vancouver Canucks, Buffalo Sabres, Arizona Coyotes, Anaheim Ducks, Winnipeg Jets, Carolina Hurricanes and Calgary Flames about Zucker.
“I would just say that there are lots of phone calls being made everywhere, and even though Jason Zucker gets mentioned, so does every other player we have that doesn’t have a no-move contract,” Fenton said.
