On today’s episode of Locked on Wild, we discuss the signing of Yakov Trenin. We look at why, just like many recent signings and extensions, on it’s own Trenin is a fine add for the Minnesota Wild. We discuss the attitude he brings as well as his ability to contribute on the Penalty Kill, but why his arrival further clouds a muddled bottom six picture. We look at what this means for Marat Khusnutdinov, Liam Ohgren and others, and why moving an underperforming player off the roster makes way too much sense (IF THE WILD CAN FIND A WILLING BUYER). We discuss the depth additions of Travis Boyd and Devin Shore, who may not factor into Minnesota at all but bring needed experience to Iowa. We also discuss the addition of Jack Capuano to the coaching staff, and why the only thing that matters with his addition is if the Penalty Kill improves. We also discuss what to watch for as the rest of Free Agency plays out.

They have got to cut some dead weight. Apparently Trenin is decent on PK. But Freddy and Jojo have to go. How many 4th liners do u need ? or is Trenin “Player w Potential “tag by Hynes equal to a guaranteed second line wing spot?
Did I read correctly Bombadir replaced by McCloed and Hendrix as head of Player Development ??
Theres gotta be a trade or 2 in the works, gotta be
(Just and example I have no interest in Duchene)
Trenin signed 4-year $14,000,000 ($3.5M per). Trenin had 12 goals and 5 assists.
Matt Duchene signed 1-year $3M and had 25 goals and 40 assists. More proof the UFA have zero interest in MN and Billy OVER-SPENDS.
This team always confuses me lol
I hate how the Wild Draft and Sign free agents, we are the worst at it
I'm thinkin Moose or Freddy is gone. Come on Billy, don't let me down now man!
Capuano is another nepo hire and Trenin should've only been a two year deal
Honestly why even draft anymore BG and especially Hynes despise younger players
Why does Billy G keep getting a pass for this buffoonery?
David Perron scored only 5 more goals than Trenin last season. Trenin doesn't get PP time.
Unless they kick Carcas to the curb and bring in a kid I hate this signing!!! Too long of term and he's really only about a $2 – $2.2m value! This guy can't score and his forte is PK. So we will look to be the 3rd most penalized team once again? Depth scoring is garbage on this team. This is not a plus to the middle 6!!!
Guerin just built a nasty 4th line. Lauko, Clark, Trenin (207 hits) as he has mentioned the Wild lost some identity / grit last year. Johansson / Freddy / Hartman all on notice. Everyone always seems to be glass 1/2 empty.
One more year of cap hell. If Khusnutdinov / Ohgren / Rossi net 20 or so, the Wild will be battling for a playoff spot. I don’t think Freddy or Johansson can product any less than last year and should be on a short leash. I see Middleton 4 year 4.35 per year just signed. Let’s see what happens at training camp before we all drive off the cliff…
Duhaime to Caps $1.85M
Middleton 4 years $4.35M per
Hey Seth
I’ll follow Kaprizov to his next team as a fan. When he leaves, I’m out on the Wild. Non serious franchise with a terrible owner who I don’t even want to taste any success. 25 years of mediocrity is waaay too long to be cheering for a loser franchise and I’ve been here from the start.
