It's Friday! And that means our Locked on Summer Road Trip continues! Today we head to Minnesota to have a great chat with Seth Toupal of Locked on Wild. Minnesota had a pretty quiet offseason, but there is of course a reason for that. How large are the buyouts of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter looming?

Seth also talks about the Wild draft picks for this season, and is the expectation for them to be part of this team, or are they going to be used in any potential deals as a way to keep the Wild in contention during these "buyout years" they are going through.

Finally, Seth tells us what the expectations are for this Wild team. Despite all the cap constraints and buyouts, they still are a formidable team every year! But they still can't seem to get beyond that 1st round. Is that all the Wild can hope for over the next couple of seasons, or can they really make a deep run?

Always fun when these two teams get together! Tune in, subscribe and enjoy!
