As the Olympic break nears and the trade deadline approaches, the Minnesota Wild stand as buyers after acquiring defenseman Quinn Hughes, enhancing their record to 16-5-5. With $14.52MM in cap space, the Wild are looking to address a need for a top center, potentially targeting players like Robert Thomas or Nazem Kadri, while also considering goalie depth should they trade star prospect Jesper Wallstedt. The team has a solid lineup but seeks further additions to compete for the Stanley Cup.
