Overview
- The Wild are gauging the market for a top-six scoring winger, according to The Fourth Period.
- Vancouver’s Kiefer Sherwood is the named target, valued for his physical game and $1.5 million cap hit after a hot start highlighted by 16 goals in 36 games.
- Reports indicate another Wild–Canucks deal before the deadline is viewed as unlikely even with recent trade familiarity.
- Minnesota has under $4 million in cap space, and the NHL’s holiday roster freeze remains in effect until December 28.
- With Marco Rossi moved in the Quinn Hughes trade, insiders say Bill Guerin may keep pursuing forward help, though a tight second-line center market could drive up prices.
