Locked On Wild - Your Daily Minnesota Wild Podcast

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Zach Zeman rejoins Seth to look at how the Zach Parise and Ryan Suter buyouts went down over the phone and whether or not they were handled correctly. We also discuss some potential landing spots for Ryan Suter, and why Zach Parise's list is way harder to put together. We then move to reports that Nick Foligno and the Wild are close to a match once free agency begins. We look at where Foligno could potentially slot in and if he would be a good fit with the team. We finish by discussing Kevin Fiala's contract negotiations and throw out some numbers to try to find a deal that works for everyone.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Zach Zeman joins us to look at the list of players the Wild are protecting in the Seattle Expansion Draft. We look at whether or not there were any surprises on the Wild's list and who among the unprotected players such as Carson Soucy, Kaapo Kahkonen, Victor Rask or Nick Bjugstad might end up being selected. We look at why protecting Cam Talbot was the only option for the Wild after his strong playoff series against Vegas. We finish the episode by looking at the rest of the NHL's protected list and discuss big surprises left unprotected, including a massive list of Tampa Bay Lightning players who will be available in Wednesday's expansion draft.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Spoked Z joins the show to take a look at some of the biggest NHL news over the last couple of weeks. We start with the Tampa Bay Lightning celebrating their Stanley Cup Final win in style and denting the Stanley Cup. We wonder if that has happened before and how much of a bribe it would take to borrow it from the official handler. We move to Pierre McGuire jumping into the front office of the Ottawa Senators, and Spoked doesn't actually hate the hire. We discuss the Ken Holland acquisition of Duncan Keith for way too much, and we finish by looking into the Ryan Suter and Zach Parise buyouts and the messy phone tag it entailed with General Manager Bill Guerin.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild we are joined once again by Gabe Foley of Recruit Scouting. We get Gabe's reaction to the Ryan Suter and Zach Parise buyouts and where they might end up. We also go in depth on a couple of potential selections for the Wild next week in the draft. We start with Zachary L'Heureux. Has he started to grow out of his reputation as a dirty player? What sort of skillset would he bring to the Wild roster? We then discuss Nikita Chibrikov. How would he fit into the Wild's offense? Where does his overall game need work? We finish with Gabe discussing some of his can't miss players that the Wild should keep an eye on throughout the draft.

On today's BONUS episode of Locked on Wild, Dev from 10,000 Takes joins the show for part 2 of our conversation reacting to the Ryan Suter and Zach Parise buyout news. In part 2 we look at the impact these moves have on the Wild's protection list for the Kraken Expansion Draft. We look at if Victor Rask might actually be selected by Seattle or if Carson Soucy is now the favorite to be taken by the Kraken. We finish the show looking at why Marco Rossi, Calen Addison and others will need to step up with the Wild bearing significant cap penalties for the next several seasons.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Dev from 10,000 Takes joins the show to react to the news that Ryan Suter and Zach Parise have both been bought out. We look at why the news of Parise's buyout wasn't much of a surprise, but how the Suter news came completely out of left field. We react to some of Bill Guerin's recent comments about both situations, and why this was likely a scenario that has been in the works for months that got more traction as the week went on. We also look at a few players who are going to be asked to step up, including Nico Sturm.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Erin Loughrey joins the show to talk about what it's like to run the Wild's social media accounts. We start with her background and how she got into social media content creation. We also discuss some of the best social media bits from the 2020-21 season, including CAPS LOCK, Sturm Warning, and the Bonino bit from 10,000 Takes making its way into the Wild locker room. Erin also discusses some strategies for taking team related news and formatting it to multiple forms of social media, and what to do if a piece of content doesn't get the reach it should.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Zach Zeman joins the show to discuss the recent developments in the Kirill Kaprizov contract negotiations. Which side will blink first? Is Kaprizov being unreasonable? We both agree that it is in the Wild's best interests to give him a better center and sign him to a shorter deal.

We move to a game of "What If" where we look at trades involving former Wild players and discuss whether or not we would still make them or if we want a do-over. We start with Eric Staal to Buffalo. Would Staal have been an impact player for this year's Wild team? Or would the pairing of him and Parise led to one line that was just too slow to be played? We then move to Nino Niederreiter to Carolina. Would Nino be a better linemate than Mats Zuccarello is currently for Kaprizov? How would the Wild have handled the center position without Rask on the roster? We move to Alex Tuch to Vegas ahead of the Expansion Draft and both agree this is simply an example of a player who ended up being a little better than the Wild thought he would be. We finish by discussing the Jason Zucker trade in which the Wild still have a chance to reap the benefits from.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Isha Jahromi and State of Hoppy rejoin the show for part 2 of our conversation. We focus heavily on whether or not the Wild should use Kevin Fiala to try to acquire a top level center such as Jack Eichel. If Fiala allows the Wild to not have to trade Marco Rossi, is it worth pursuing an Eichel trade? We also discuss whether the Wild should look to re-sign Marcus Johanssen, Nick Bonino and Ian Cole. We finish by looking at some potential free agents the Wild should set their sights on trying to sign to fill out the roster.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Isha Jahromi and State of Hoppy join the show! We start by recapping the Lightning's win over Montreal in the Stanley Cup Final and discussing their podcast, The Sota Pod, and Hoppy's Twitter persona. We move to the Joel Eriksson Ek contract extension, and look at how Bill Guerin was put in a pickle with other deals hindering what this team is able to do via trade and free agency. We have an honest conversation as to when the Wild's cup window actually starts, with a lot of people wanting to rush it. We also discuss the potential impact of Marco Rossi as he further makes his way back from COVID-19.
