On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we react to the first group of Wild player exit interviews. We start with learning the full extent of Joel Eriksson Ek's injury, and wonder how it was possible that he even attempted to return as quickly as he did. We hear from Ryan Hartman and get what will likely be the slogan of the offseason in "Saying is one thing, doing is another". We also hear from Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy, and Boldy's comments in particular ring true with needing to be better in future postseasons. We hear from Gustav Nyquist and Marcus Johansson, who would welcome the opportunity to return to this team if the situation presented itself. We discuss Filip Gustavsson making it pretty clear that he wants to focus on conditioning this offseason and leave his contract negotiations for his agent, and Marc-Andre Fleury declaring that he will return for 2023-24, but that may be his final year in the league. We also discuss Ryan Reaves' comments that the team needs to find some resolve after letting officiating get to them as the series went on.
