The Minnesota Wild are in hell

I picked them to win in 7 against the St. Louis Blues. Well, it didn't end well...

The problem with the Wild is that it was this year or never. Why? They are literally going to be in cap hell starting next season. They bought out Zach Parise and Ryan Suter in the last offseason and they will both count for 12.7M$ under the cap in 2022-23 and 14.7M$ in 2023-24.

Thus, they will have to make some tough decisions in the offseason. And one of the most plausible scenario is that they will have to trade a guy like Kevin Fiala, who is a very important part of the Wild's offense.

Should Chuck Fletcher take advantage of this situation? Yes. Fiala could help the Flyers on the Top-6. He registered 85 points this season, and added 3 more points during their short playoff run.

Let's see what happens in St. Paul this summer...
