In this episode, Derek (@CreaseAndAssist), Steve (@brandsteve), and Theresa (@MNSOTA24) discuss whether or not the Minnesota Wild need to make another trade or not. We also discuss proposed names given by listeners for the team's line of Russian-born players, as well as discussing New Year's resolutions for the team. Derek gives his two cents on the World Junior Championship performances of Wild prospects Adam Benak (Czechia) and Aron Kiviharju (Finland), and we answer listener questions too.
