    Hopefully the Wild are moving closer to trading Kap. No player besides mcdavid or McKinnon are worth that. Even Eichel who I would take over Kap has said he is looking for around $13mm. Kaps value is about 11-12mm with his injury history. I would take 3-4 4mm players over 1 Kap at 16mm. He just isn’t worth it. The sooner we move on the better. Ek is the most important forward on this team. Kap isn’t. If we can get a couple good players for Kap let’s move on. Greedy guy. Dont let him play a single game until this is sorted out. Have some balls Billy. No one player is bigger than the team. You won’t win with Kap on this team making over $12mm

    Exactly .How can people judge after one pre-season game. Getting in game shape isn't a term from yesterday

    Nice catch. Leason in the front #20. Pitlick is the other #20 that should be #19. My expertise is in ragging on Euros, not numbering North Americans.

    I tried to key in him also but I didn't see brutal. He wasn't the best defender out there but i think there were some good things to build on. It was the first pre-season game after less than a week of practice. I think I will withhold judgement until i see more.

    Is Kap on the end so it’s easier to photoshop him out? (Sarcasm)

    Trenin's contract is bad and his underwhelming play last season was a cherry on top of that turd but I think the guy means business this year. I'm actually kind of high on him this season.

    McDavid turned Zach F****ing Hyman from a 30-40 pt guy into a 70-80pt/50 goal scorer by using him as a Human backboard.

    Man, I was keyed in on Jiricek and his play was brutal. I hope he picks it up because he did not look like an NHL ready defenseman at all.

    Two players are wearing 20?

    It is on the Wild website. AI makes so many mistakes, I think our jobs are safe for the foreseeable future.

    Trenin led the Wild in hits per minute played among regular skaters. He was definitely difficult to play against when he was just playing defense. He did have some bad pucks that led to goals against and I don't know if he was skating as well as they thought he might. His defensive metrics were solid. I agree he will likely come back even better. I was expecting him to hit double-digit goals, but he only tallied 7. He's capable of more, but he did get 150-200 more minutes in his prior stops where he tallied 12+ goals three years in a row. Hopefully he's ready to deliver more.

    Sometimes it takes a year for some players to properly fit in. I remember Foligno's first year with us and I didn't like his play at all. His 2nd year I thought he found his role and has played it very well since. Maybe Trenin is just starting to understand where he fits. He is also 28 years old this year. For whatever reason some players seem to find their stride around that age and have their best seasons between 28 and 32. I liked his play in the playoffs. Hoepfully he keeps on the gas peddle.
  15. Imyourhuckleberry
    Nearly, but not quite. Tyler Pitlick and Vinnie Hinostroza(primary assist on Trenin's first goal) are both older with more career NHL games played than Trenin, and more career goals scored. Jack Johnson and Zach Bogosian also have a few more games on him if we're including all skaters, but I'm guessing you meant among forwards.

    Wasn't he the most experienced vet out there? I hope he does well when playing against prospects.

    If this were the case, why couldn't Google AI find it? A little more digging couldn't even find it. Maybe he said it on a radio show and AI doesn't listen to the radio? One would think it would be a headline article on the Wild website with open to the public practices.

    I happened to like the player, but thought his contract was an overpay. He came with vouching from Heinzy, and a recommendation from Kaprizov. Yet, he looked very out of place for most of the year last season. I was expecting a lot more physical play in the regular season, not as much as he did in the playoffs, but still, be one of the leading hitters on the team. I didn't find he was difficult to play against until the playoffs. I also didn't see the PKing that he was known for. Perhaps it was an off year? Perhaps it was just a poor signing? Maybe he just doesn't fit? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure he'll have a better season this year.

    Polarizing? That would imply that there are two factions of the fan base, one that are disappointed by Yak, and the other portion that are pleased with his performance. I'd be interested in hearing from the portion of this polarized fanbase who is happy with Yak....I'm waiting...still waiting...looks like it might be a while. I'm cautiously optimistic with what I saw from him in the playoffs, and how he skated in this pre-season game, but I'm yet to see any portion of this fanbase defending the signing/contract SillyG handed out to him.

    This is what the NHL preseason is all about. We are just one single game into the series of exhibition games before the real ones start, but already there are players like our beloved Minnesota Wild forward Yakov Trenin going off and putting an entire team on his back to earn a 3-2 overtime win against the Winnipeg Jets. Trenin scored his second goal of the game to clinch the victory in extra time, as he led all Wild forwards in ice-time, shots, and obviously goals. That's the stuff. On a roster filled to the brim with future impact Wild players (hopefully) like Danila Yurov and David Jiricek, it isn't the hot prospects who actually earn the victory but it's the polarizing free agent signing who does. It's the NHL preseason. That's Wild Who was also on that roster in Winnipeg was goaltender Jesper Wallstedt and while he has basically been handed the backup role, it's not comfortable. [StarTribune] Nicolas Aube-Kubel is a gritty fourth-liner who might be able to squeeze into a role on this Wild team. [Hockey Wilderness] A "thicker" Marco Rossi is happy he gets to still play hockey in Minnesota and for the Wild. [Pioneer Press] Off the trail... One of the nicest players to ever play the game, Bernie Parent, passed away at the age of 80 years old on Sunday. He lived life to the fullest and continued to be at just about every single Philadelphia Flyers fan event in possible right up until the last week of his life.

    I blew up the picture and could get 11 but its funny how these guys look different without helmets .

    Not claiming to be perfect here, but this is the Wild's NHL vets by the numbers.
  24. NoJoSux
    Small sample size, just this game. Not disagreeing with you but I wanna see more to make serious conclusions. Trenin, having two-goal games is probably not gonna be the norm. Yurov had a couple shots and has some potential, playing pretty well at both ends of the ice. Better linemates might help. I'd like to see him between Trenin and Hartzy perhaps, or maybe with Zuccy, and Trenin. He did well at center and won some key draws. HH goal was a beauty, post and in. Perfect shot. Tough one, the incidental slewfoot afterwards. Wally with a solid game, yes. Both goals were nice by Jets players. The second was a perfect shot. Spacek is a smart, steady defender. He was on the ice for the second goal, but not his fault.

    Rossi looks taller and thicker than Zuccarello. Same size as Kaprizov, Hartman and Tarasenko.
  27. AKwildkraken
    I will say Yurov needs work playing as a defenseman
  28. MNCountryLife
    Good come from behind win. Nice job Trenin!!!! Two goals
