He’s a proven top-line center, a former 30-goal man, and the kind of battle-tested leader every contender covets at the deadline. But before Bill Guerin manages the future to bring the Detroit Red Wings captain West, the Wild must ask themselves a difficult question. What are they actually buying and for how long? Start with the math. Larkin turns 30 this summer, and that can often be the beginning of the back...

La Canfora: Vikings Could Seek Conditional Pick To Trade J.J. McCarthy

According to Jason La Canfora, the Vikings are expected to seek playing time conditions on a pick coming back in any potential trade involving QB J.J. McCarthy. That would be a logical way for Minnesota to hedge its bets if it moved on from a young passer, as the Vikings are undoubtedly well aware of the perception after letting Sam Darnold walk for nothing. La Canfora’s sources in other front offices have maintained for a while that McCarthy is not long for Minnesota after losing the starting...

On Sunday, September 6, the Chicago White Sox cruised to a 10-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Panic Trading Quinn Hughes Is the Worst Mistake the Wild Could Make

On paper, the deadline for the Minnesota Wild to extend Quinn Hughes is June 30. But realistically, no one believes that. The common-sense deadline is probably September 30, the day before Minnesota’s season opener. If it goes any longer, the questions about what the Wild will do with the superstar will get louder and possibly threaten to swallow the season. If Hughes is unwilling to sign, their options become two: Trade him somewhere he will re-sign, or keep him and risk letting him walk as a...
