Will the Minnesota Wild be active at the trade deadline?

Jessi Pierce of Bardown Beauties and NHL.com joins Judd and AJ to address a handful of major questions now that the season is more than halfway over. Will the Wild make the playoffs and if so, what position?; Will the team make any trades before the deadline, who could they target?; How confident are you in Kaprizov being able to return and be fully healthy? Plus more on the latest JHS!

Really concerned about kaprizov

[@debr4265]

I bet he plays next game

[@RandomheadProduction]

He’s back

[@Tryme69]

@@debr4265short lived

[@Bigmoe2424]

No more depth winger we need a center

[@jakez199456]

I hope we can get that home ice back cause if so, then this team is good and maybe borderline underrated

[@urban_89]

im ready for this epidose, after a day of snow in galveston texas, theres still snow tonight and still will be in the am lol

[@tegridy27]

Marcus Johansson, get ready to learn Waivenese! (I’m delusional and he’s probably here until the end of the season)

[@bobholst874]

Carcus Johansson is only here for a paycheck and BG is letting that crap pass!!! Ohgren's assist on the first goal yesterday doesn't happen if he does what Carcus always does, speed around the net until he coughs up the puck...shock, shock! EK does not look like himself yet. He is battling some injury that he can play thru but not be peak shape! Kaprizov will be back as early as Thursday in Utah and likely so will Spurgeon. Jonas does not seem to be skating hard. I suspect it was Calcaneus bone that broke...(biggest bone in the foot). Billy will likely start maneuvering for trade deadline addition. Suspected targets Brock Nelson, Mikael Granlund, if he feels bargain needed Nick Bjugstad of Utah, Even though he's a wing, Kyle Palmeiry could be targeted. As much as we would all like Boesser here, our cap is just not able to pull it off I believe.

[@ThomasHockey223]

What if Kaprizov ends up like Rantanen....😢

[@urban_89]

1, make wildcard injuries are an issue 2, im torn on a trade or not, theres buium n yurov coming. probably do. hell no on nelson the cliff is coming i smell it. 3, kirill definitely concerns me cause that next contract does the groin continue 4, marco, also jesse n i didnt think rossi would get a real chance under dean 5, mcdavid isnt dirty but hes not squeaky clean either

[@mattlucht3829]

The Wild needs a Center. HDmn is so awsome. Let's get it done Prior Lake.

[@joef2504]

please avoid Brock Nelson unless its only for a cheap rental, I don't want him next season as we'll likely overpay on his UFA asking price and we'll get locked into a 3-4 year deal for a 34 year old...

[@fine5441]

Wild 'cautiously optimistic' Kaprizov, Spurgeon will return vs. Utah

[@clayposch8516]

JT Miller requests a trade👀

[@urban_89]

dont want that contract or that cancer

[@mr_blackjack_]

I stand with you, Jesse, still not convinced about Rossi

[@kevinlindsey5476]

NOOOOOO

[@fjb1fjb]

Need to clear bad contracts at deadline. Get ready for off-season. Get brock boeser

[@connerehlers8930]

Nelson is from MN. he already has a house he lives in the off season in the cities. He would love to play for the Wild!

[@jeremybruce654]

He at least wins face offs and plays 2 way and is 30+ so he fits BG’s type of guy

[@travzimmerman1340]

​@@jeremybruce654 Hard pass on Nelson. Old slow and in the way. The Wild have enough aging veterans.

[@jeremybruce654]

@@travzimmerman1340I am not big on him but I could see BG going after him. The Wild seem to do a good job at drafting but I am not as big on their FA’s they have invested in. And it’s the opposite for the Vikings🤷‍♂️ We just don’t get nice things like trophies as a MN fan.. lol

[@Skolphers]

Brock Nelson! Bring the Warroad kid home!

[@travzimmerman1340]

😂😂😂Hell no!!

[@mattlucht3829]

Skor North needs to move on from Pierce. (BTW it's NOT cuz of what Pierce said about Rossi even tho that alone is worthy.) She is repeating things from other hockey media analysts.
