Let’s go over some news and notes:
- Things are getting intense at Wild training camp. There was a fight during Monday’s scrimmage between J.T. Brown and Louie Belpedio. And, honestly, keep that competitive energy going, guys. [Twin Cities Pioneer Press]
- Mikko Koivu could very will be playing his last season as a member of the Wild in 2019-20, and he’s ready to give it his all. [The Athletic]
- The hype for Kirill Kaprizov is very real, and he’s not doing anything to temper expectations. The 22-year-old posted four points, including a hat trick, in yesterday’s game against Lokomotiv. That gives him 11 points in seven games on the season.
Off the trail...

- The RFA deals just keep coming. Brock Boeser is finally under contract for the Canucks. Three years, $17.625 million for the 22-year-old. [NHL]
- The Flyers also signed their last remaining RFA. Travis Konecny agreed to a six-year, $33 million contract yesterday. [Broad Street Hockey]
- Jack Hughes is going to be very, very good, folks. Two goals for the youngster last night against the Bruins.
