On today’s episode of Locked on Wild, we revisit the Cam Talbot-Filip Gustavsson trade that is widely becoming one of the best in Minnesota Wild history, after another shutout from Gustavsson on Opening Night. We look at the circumstances surrounding Ottawa deciding they needed a veteran goalie, and trading Gustavsson, who was widely considered their franchise goalie at various points. We discuss the things that Gustavsson does well that make him one of the best goalies in the NHL, and why even when he is facing the most pressure imaginable, Gustavsson never wavers. We finish by discussing keys to the game against Toronto today, which include slowing the pace against the high powered Maple Leafs offense, keeping the front of the net clean after 13 high danger chances against Florida, and the top 6 stepping up to match the stars such as Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner.

Looking like an amazing trade so far
If he plays at last years level for 60 games this year, he’ll win Vezina
At this point I’d say Wallstedt would be solid #2 goalie behind Gus.
And if wallstedt keeps growing, Wild have a decision to make, a trade of wallstedt when the cap hits fall off could net them a Stanley cup winning haul.
Seth your right on, with your summation
On Gus the Bus!!!
And as I've brought up before , Judd Bracket
Is the best talent evaluater the Wild have ever had,! Billy is at his best making deals
From Gus to Middleton to Walsted the list is long, I question his terms on few
Player's and getting the pick for Greenway
Absolutely a steal!
Tonight your going see the problem
With are defense, as you brought up,
Until they bring up the kids to play?
I'm happy mermis made the trip
Hope he plays !
Big test tonight for Gus. Let's go Wild!
Should have waited till after tonight's game to decide to have this talking point…
He was kind of Shaky in this one…but when you have Goose and Merrill on D well makes sense…#firebill
Aged like milk
This didn't age well…lol
Go Leafs Go! 🙂
Leafs score 7 on Gus man for the win. Matthews scores another hat trick.
