Article: Which Minnesota Wild Players Will Make the 2026 Olympics?


Recommended Posts

This list looks pretty complete right now. Of course we're 2 years away.

Sadly, with the Russia ban thing, I think a great deal of this goes into the politics lane. It greatly depends upon who is elected this year and what the Administration's goals are. I do not believe things will change much if things stay the same, but could change greatly if there is a change in the White House. We'll know in just 9 short months, or long months if you include the commercials that will run!

And, it will probably be a lot longer if we miss the playoffs, though, draft season should be fun. Free agent season will likely be crickets....maybe the Twins will be in a solid race....maybe the Vikings will have found some traction?

They'll try to say Russia is banned because of doping scandals. Total BS!

The world can continue to pretend the USA is above reproach and Russia is the hive of scum and villainy. 

If Russia is canceled from the Olympics especially in hockey, it will 100% cheapen it. Just like it does for WJC.

Not talking about the American people, but the Government and those in the shadows are plenty bad, equally if not more so than Russia that's for sure.

Just saying the average Russian hockey player just wants to play hockey. Do you think they should be punished for stuff completely out of their control?(Players)

China has human rights issues and nobody bans them. How about Canada? RCMP trampled a Grandma with a horse, they're not banned. Who blew up a gas pipeline in the North Sea to Europe? Crickets...

I've heard the sports and politics should be separate argument but they're totally not in reality. Look at all the alignment made by leagues and teams to politics.

Russian NHLers especially who already are subject to performance enhancing substance tests can't be banned for doping. If they're not allowed because of International Olympic Committee politics, that's a load of crud.
