Thanks to Kirill Kaprizov, goaltending, strong team defense, and exceptional special teams, the Minnesota Wild have continued to find ways to win and earn points and make their push in the Western Conference Playoff Race. Bill Guerin pushed more chips in this week acquiring Marcus Johansson and Gustav Nyquist in hopes of bolstering the Wild’s offense. The guys break down the trades and the impact each player could have and whether or not they liked the deals. They also discuss how the additions could throw a wrench in the bottom six forward group with only six spots available for eight forwards, nine come playoff time.
Other topics include the superb defensive play from the Greenway, Gaudreau, Duhaime line; Filip Gustavsson’s continued stellar play, Kaprizov’s best game ever, and what other trades may still be out there, like say, Justin Holl.
