    That's Wild

    • Hockey is happening so soon and that means some players detailing what exactly they did in the offseason to get better. For Minnesota Wild youngster Danila Yurov it meant having the hardest summer of his life to do enough on the ice to make his mark during his rookie year and first ever season in North America. [The Athletic]
    • The Wild are reportedly happy to pay pending free agent winger Kirill Kaprizov somewhere around the $16-million AAV mark on an maximum term, eight-year deal. That seems about right to keep the superstar in Minnesota. So, what does that mean for the team going forward with that much tied into one player? [Hockey Wilderness]
    • This team is full of good guys. Recently, some players volunteered for Habitat for Humanity to build low-income housing for folks. [Kaal TV]

    Off the trail...

    • Former Gopher and current Toronto Maple Leafs young star, Matthew Knies is ready to take on more responsibility after the departure of Mitch Marner. [TheScore]
    • Players from around the NHL put it down on record who they think the hardest goaltender to score against is. [NHL.com]
    • There were two massive life events for Elias Pettersson this summer: The Vancouver Canucks center got married, and he gained some pounds. [Sportsnet]

    RE: Yurov - I know that's an 'offseason Russo fluff-piece' but it sure made me like the kid a bit more, and I'm definitely pulling for him.

    Skating 5 days a week this summer with Kreider, Fox, Pesce, Zegras, Dorofeyyev and Quick seem like he's keeping up with some good company.  Also getting bag skated by Martin St.Louis

    Also interesting take-away that Chris Kreider has seemingly taken the kid under his wing and Kreider even speaks a bit of russian with him.  Makes me think that Yurov's going to fit into the wild's room...which seems to be a huge deal with SillyG

    Hell, the article made me like Kreider more too...

    Elias Pettersson got married and gained weight. Just the way that was put, it doesn't sound to me like these were strength pounds. It sounds to me like these were cushy pounds.

    “It’s impossible to tell in summer hockey how good somebody’s going to be, but if you’re asking me if I think he’s going to someday be a great NHL player … yeah.”

    Kreider laughs at his own deadpan.

    “You can see the way someone processes out there and how they think the game,” Kreider continues. “I think it comes down to the work you put in, but he’s got an NHL-caliber skill set and frame. I think it’s not too dissimilar to the first time we skated with Dorofeyev.”
     

    I loved reading this.
