The Minnesota Wild acquired defenseman Jeff Petry from the Florida Panthers for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2026, which could become a fifth-rounder if Minnesota wins two playoff rounds and Petry plays in at least half of those games. Petry, a 38-year-old pending unrestricted free agent, has a cap hit of $775,000 and recorded eight points in 58 games this season. With Florida out of the playoff race, they are looking to trade other pending UFAs, including goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky. Meanwhile, the Wild, currently third in the Western Conference, are enhancing their roster for a playoff push after earlier acquisitions, including Quinn Hughes and Michael McCarron.
