On today’s episode of Locked on Wild, we break down the Gustav Nyquist trade and what he brings to the table in Minnesota. We look at his strengths, how the Wild will maneuver his roster spot until he’s ready to return, and what he can provide when healthy. We also discuss a few potential lineup combinations with both guys on the roster. We look at Bill Guerin’s comments about the moves, and speculate whether or not he is done making deals. We do get the sense that there is something else in the works, with the current logjam of roster pieces taking up the bottom 6. Who could be dealt before Friday’s deadline?

Nyquist is out for the season, correct?
If anything, speed is exactly what we need. It's good if they are scorers too.
Where's the speed???
In Iowa
They already got speed with Dewar, but Dean won't mix up the lines to give him a chance with Boldy/Ek. I'd rather see Dewar on that line than MoJo.
Nyquist makes a little sense because he's been a 40-50 pt. player throughout his career which is an upgrade over Foligno on the Boldy/Ek line and an upgrade over Greenway. If they can resign him to a cheap deal he'd be a good depth scorer. He'd also be good competition for Walker and Rossi to earn a roster spot for next year.
Speed and playoff experience as well. Marco helped Washington to a cup so he has definitely got some chops. The thing I believe this will do is take some of the cover 2 players on Boldy, they will have to focus more on man to man. Also there is experience intuition, more natural ease of being in the right place at the right time. But let's see what shakes out in the next 36 – 40 hours.
Anyways BIG SHOUT OUT FOR THE BIG RIG!!! Killer fight, 1st goal of the year…🚛🏒🥅 And riding the GUS BUS! 🚍
Boeser for Dumba and greenway. Work out the money during the off-season. Brock wants a new lifeline, Greenway could use a change of scenery, and maybe Vancouver can sign Dumba as they need a defensemen as well. If need be, offer a mid-tier draft pick as well. I do think Guerin if this doesn’t happen, could be the banker again like you mentioned. 48 hours, something tells me even with Chychrun signing at Ottawa we’re still in the mix for one more move. I don’t think Guerin is going to let that money dry up…
