On today's episode of Locked on Wild we start by gearing up for the Carolina Hurricanes game tonight. The Hurricanes will be without Sebastian Aho due to COVID-19 but they are still a dangerous team with great goaltending. If the Wild are going to beat them they need to do so in 5 on 5 situations, because the Hurricanes have a good Power Play and the second best Penalty Kill in the entire league. A ton of penalties is not a recipe for success again tonight.

We then shift focus building off of yesterday. If the Wild do look to make a move at the trade deadline, what position should they target? If we narrow it down to center upgrades, which teams are out of it enough to be trade partners? It is doubtful the Wild would trade within the division, so the Eastern Conference looks like the best fit. Could Bill Guerin look to make a trade with former Wild GM Chuck Fletcher? If they go after Claude Giroux what does he bring to the table? What would it cost to acquire him?

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins the show as we recap the end of the West Coast road trip for the Minnesota Wild. We look at what went wrong against the LA Kings and the Vegas Golden Knights. We also discuss the loss of Jonas Brodin and his impact on the Wild's defense. We look at why the Wild took way too many penalties in both games, while also being a couple of plays away from wins in both cases.

We move on to the idea of the Wild making a move at the deadline to improve their roster. Is it possible that the Wild have a repeat of the Martin Hanzal trade? Ultimately Bill Guerin is going to do what is best for the team, but it is tough to think of parting with the likes of Marco Rossi, Adam Beckman, Matt Boldy or Calen Addison. The chemistry of this Wild team has played largely into their success so far, so that is something to also take into consideration.

We finish the show by looking at this week's games against Carolina, Buffalo and Florida. None of the games will be easy, but the Wild have one of the best home ice advantages in the NHL so they should have a good shot at getting back into the win column. We finish by looking at Ryan Hartman and Marcus Foligno's season projections as they continue to shatter their previous season bests.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we answer your submitted mailbag questions! We start by looking at what a potential trade for Tomas Hertl could look like, with the Wild likely needing to part with a top prospect and a draft pick at the very least. Seth creates a starting lineup of his favorite Wild prospects. We look at the impending free agents for the Wild and which players should be brought back. With the Wild having Marco Rossi, Adam Beckman, Matt Boldy and Calen Addison ready in Iowa they may not need to bring them all back. We assess the Central Division and which teams will make the playoffs. We also pick a team currently in the playoff picture from each conference that won't be there at the end of the year.

We also look at the rest of the road trip and the chances the Wild continue the winning streak in each case.

We look at how the Wild were able to win their seventh straight game by a score of 4-1 over the Oilers.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Tom Gazzola of the Oilers Pre and Postgame joins the show to preview tonight's game against Edmonton. We look at the ways the Oilers improved their overall team depth and players who have stepped up so far this year. We also look at how Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid have somehow played at an all time high level so far this season. We also look at some of the areas where the Oilers have struggled, including in 5 on 5 play which is one of the biggest areas of strength for the Wild. We discuss how the Oilers like to play a faster tempo but struggle against more physical teams. We finish by looking at some areas that could be key to the win for either team, and which former Wild coach has the best chance to turn their new team around: Bruce Boudreau in Vancouver or Mike Yeo in Philadelphia.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins for another #MichelettiMonday! We recap the thrilling win over Toronto, and look at some of the pivotal moments. They include another strong performance for Cam Talbot, the Eriksson Ek-Greenway-Foligno line setting the tone and Kirill Kaprizov making things look easy in the shootout. We then look at the upcoming 4 game West Coast road trip which presents the Wild a great opportunity to continue their red hot play. If they can get past Edmonton, the Wild have a great chance to make it at least a 3-1 road trip. We finish the show by looking at recent NHL news, including the return of Bruce Boudreau, who was named head coach of the Vancouver Canucks. Also how hot is Chuck Fletcher's seat in Philadelphia?
