Can Minnesota Wild afford Brock Nelson? Trade rumors heat up

The Minnesota Wild's trade deadline options are dwindling as prices skyrocket. A recent Seattle Kraken trade reset the market, likely pricing out the Wild from further moves beyond the Gustav Nyquist acquisition. Brock Nelson and Brock Boeser remain linked to Minnesota, but salary cap constraints and roster limitations pose significant hurdles.

Host Seth Toupal breaks down why the Wild may be tapped out, analyzing the current NHL standings and trade landscape. He examines potential targets Nelson and Boeser, discussing their situations and fit with Minnesota. Toupal also touches on former Wild player Jordan Greenway's new contract with Buffalo.

The episode concludes with insights on GM Bill Guerin's reluctance to make major roster changes despite clear upgrade opportunities. Will the Wild stand pat or surprise fans before the deadline? Tune in now for the full analysis on the Wild's trade deadline strategy!
