Who’s the best player in the NHL right now? What about the top five? Connor McDavid is the most talented player in the world. You could argue that Nathan MacKinnon is best player this season , which is a slightly different category. Leon Draisaitl is right behind those two. Kirill Kaprizov has the biggest contract, and he’s mostly lived up to it so far. On the blueline, the eternal Cale Makar vs. Quinn Hughes debate rages on. And in goal, Connor Hellebuyck is the reigning Vezina winner, not to...

The Minnesota Wild gave up a lot to get Quinn Hughes this season, including Marco Rossi, Zeev Buium, Liam Ohgren, and a 2026 first-round pick.

The Wild appear to have one name in mind on the Philadelphia Flyers . According to Anthony DiMarco, "The Minnesota Wild have shown continued interest in trading for Bobby Brink." Brink has turned i...

They are third in the NHL, but are also third in their own division behind the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars . The Wild signed Kirill Kaprizov to a massive deal in the offseason and acquired Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks not too long ago. With a strong defensive group and two very good goalies, they are set to compete, but cou...
