Another day, another opportunity to discuss a potential trade for William Nylander.
Pierre LeBrun weighed in on the Nylander sweepstakes in an article yesterday for The Athletic, discussing nine possible destinations. About the Wild’s chances of landing the Toronto center, Lebrun said:
As for the other eight potential landing spots for Nylander, see LeBrun’s article in the walk below.
In the meantime, the Wild would be better served to focus on tonight’s opponent, the Canucks, who began Minnesota’s recent road trip by handing them a 5-2 loss in Vancouver on October 29th. The Canucks have lost three straight and are on the last game of a six-game road trip. A perfect opportunity for the Wild to strike while the iron is hot.
With sweater weather upon us (and ugly sweater season around the corner), let’s come undone as we take today’s walk.
