Minnesota Wild: Wild fans !!! The Great Minnesota meeting (aka Minnesota State Fair) is now underway, which means that the hockey season is not going too far. Grab your favorite food on a stick and a drink, let’s start with digesting something other than your hot honey jalapeno donut and dill pickle iced tea.
Just announced this week, center Marco Rossi Signed a 3-year extension of $ 15 million to stay with the team after the summer long discussions. He previously rejected a 5-year extension of $ 25 million that was offered last winter. The 9th general draft choice in the 2020 design is now clearly standing for the most important three years of his career to date. Will he go further and will be in a legitimate superstar who asks it north of $ 7-9 million AAV? Or will he plant and stay a good, not great center for the wild? You can bet that your birthday cake cooking dough on a stick that he will be hungry to prove that he can take the next step in his career and we certainly hope that he does exactly that.
The other large move of the low season is definitely an intriguing one. Two-time champion Stanley-Cup, Vladimir Tarasenkowas taken over by the wild after an exchange in which the Detroit Red Wings receives a bag of pucks and a new tube from Ben Gay (or something).
However, he is still going to draw attention to the ice as a talented scorer. He has left for a year to a $ 4.75 million and De Wild hopes that he can return to his once deadly form. If nothing else, he will not score against us in clutch moments as he did when he was with the blues of St. Louis. New teammate and colleague Russian superstar, Kirill KaprizovConvinced Tarasenko to join the wild and it could be one of the most underrated movements in low season.
Speaking about Kirill the Thrill, Wild GM Bill Guerin And fans everywhere are anxiously waiting for Kaprizov to return to the United States, so that the contract discussions can become serious. All instructions are that the conditions of the contract negotiations are fairly close between the two parties and in the range of $ 120 million with a maximum of eight years ($ 15 million per), which would be the highest contract per AAV in the NHL.
Another persistent question that will be answered in one way or another is if/how Jesper Wallstedt can come in like a real back -up keeper now the almighty Marc-Andre Fleury is retired. He certainly has large pads to fill while he and colleague Swede, Filip Gustavsson Will probably start the season as the wild little ones.
Wild fans everywhere were enthusiastic about the low season in 2025, because the largest cap -hits from the buyouts of Ryan Ster and Zach Parise came from the books. Before this year, De Wild paid more than $ 14.7 million per season as part of the buyouts. From this year and until 2029, that dop punishment will fall to just $ 1.67 million. Thinking that the wild would make a spectacular move in the free agency, Guerin chose instead for strategic restraint. Perhaps to see how the coming season would play and make some movements around the Trade Deadline. Or even to lure Connor Mcjesus away from Edmonton next year if he becomes an unlimited free agent (we are Minnesota Sport fans – we can dream.)
The Wild starts with their preseason in just under a month when they compete against the Winnipeg Jets, the winners of last season’s President Cup on September 21. The house opener of the wild season is on Saturday 11 October against the Columbus Blue Jackets on the Xcel Energy CenterPasomvertede, Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul.
New Hockey Hall of Fame from Minnesota: Also recent announced, the state of hockey will finally have own hockey hall of fame Once It’s complete in May 2028. Minnesota already has the original hockeytown USA in Warrory High Hally Hally Hockey, LaGtkey, LaGtkey, LaGtkey, LaGstkey, LaGtkey, LaGtkey, LaGtkey, Largayy, Larghy, Largey, Larghy, Larghy, Largey, Largey, Larghy, Largey, Hockey, Larghy, Larghy, Larsteyy, Larghy, Largeyy Hallkeyyyy, Largeyy, Largeyy, Largety, Largkeyyhy?

The location of the new Hall of Fame of $ 70 million, which includes a performance theater of 20,000 m² and a restaurant/bar with a hockey theme, still has to be determined, but officials hope to break ground in June 2026. It seems to be an amazing facility that will only build on the proud and unparalleled hockey tradition in Minnesota.
Another hockey season is almost coming. Again, I will keep you informed of everything in Minnesota in the morning skate this season. Not a wild fan? (cough, loser, cough). View the reporting from other NHL teams from the entire competition – from Boston to Calgary and from New York to the stars that are previously known as the North Stars. Until next time, go wild !!!!
