By Greg -
As the deadline passed yesterday, the Minnesota Wild said goodbye to Mikael Granlund and hello to the latest Swiss player to wear #22, Kevin Fiala. They also said goodbye to Matt Hendricks and very nearly said goodbye to Jason Zucker.
However, Fiala wasn’t the only new member of the Wild to be introduced yesterday.
We send our congratulations to both the Spurgeon family and the Granlund family.
Tonight, the Wild face off against Hendricks’s new team, the Winnipeg Jets, at 7:00 PM Central.
