    That's Wild

    • Minnesota Wild prospect Rieger Lorenz ended his sophomore season better than he could have imagined. He won the national championship with the University of Denver. He sat down with NHL.com to discuss winning the title, earning a point on the trophy-winning goal, and what's next. [NHL.com]
    • There are 13 former Wild players in the playoffs this year. That's a lot of experience being in Minnesota. [The Hockey News]
    • The Wild's lineup might look a little different next season, so how are they going to simply get more secondary scoring? It was a little bit of an issue this season, but will it be for the 2024-25 campaign? [Hockey Wilderness]

    Off the trail...

    • The Buffalo Sabres brought the band back together. Well, one of the members of the former band and that member was part of this band when they last found some success. Okay, the Sabres hired former head coach Lindy Ruff to be their coach again.[Daily Faceoff]
    • As we all know, the Vegas Golden Knights love to pull some shenanigans financially around this time of the year. Whether it is Mark Stone, Jack Eichel, or another big name whose contract would put them over the cap limit, they always play around with the Long-Term Injured Reserve list and find their way to skirt by under the ceiling. Well, knowing that, just how big was the Golden Knights true cap hit during Game 1? [Sportsnet]

    I do not like the way that Vegas circumvents the salary cap with their LTIR designations. However, if they can take out the Dallas Stars in the 1st round, I can't say I'd be disappointed.

    Anyone notice how the Canes came back against NYI last night scoring 3 goals in the last 3 minutes for a 5-3 victory? You don't see that often in Stanley Cup playoffs, nor against an NYI lockdown team.

    Lorenz had a nice finish to his season. I still believe he needs at least 1 more season at Denver. IMO, from what I saw, he was not yet ready for Iowa.

    Yurov was again held scoreless for Metallurg. However, this deep run and now a 3-0 series lead tells me he's coming after they raise their Gagarin (sp) Cup. Yurov is 20th in scoring in the playoffs, 6-3-9. 

    While looking at these stats, I came across Sam Anas in the K. I didn't know he'd gone to the K. He had 4 points in the playoffs. 

    Lokomotiv has a winger named Maxim Beryozkin. He's 6'2" 201 right now and 22. He's having a nice playoffs, and is a RHS. He was a 5th rounder for Edmonton. In 62 K regular season games, he had 30 points. In 19 playoff games he has 16 points. If we were looking for a replacement for Johansson, this guy looks like a candidate. He's only 22. Most interesting stat on him was a +/- 0 in the regular season, +10 in the playoffs.

    I believe that is the plan for him. Do one more year at DU then see what happens. I have been trying to see his physical stats but can't find them. He was described as a "big body". Anyone have the low down?

    Another good looking MN prospect. I like that he's been good in the playoffs. 

    Doesn't sound like he'll fit in with the big club. (Sarcasm)
