The Minnesota Wild may reconsider trading Jesper Wallstedt, their promising young goalie, after he outperformed Filip Gustavsson in the latter part of the season. Gustavsson, who recently signed a five-year, $34 million contract, is set for hip surgery, adding uncertainty to his return and trade value. The Wild face a significant decision this summer, as the goalie market is unpredictable and teams like the Edmonton Oilers are reportedly interested in Gustavsson.

Auston Matthews, the Toronto Maple Leafs star player, is considering his future, potentially leaving the team. The Minnesota Wild, seeking a top-tier center, could be a strong contender. Matthews chemistry with Wild players like Quinn Hughes, Matt Boldy, and Brock Faber could make him a perfect fit. Adding Matthews to the Wilds roster would significantly boost their offense, creating a formidable one-two punch with Kirill Kaprizov. However, landing Matthews would likely require a substantial trade, potentially involving top prospects and draft picks. The biggest obstacle is Matthews no-movement clause and his high salary, which would require significant salary cap maneuvering. Ultimately, the trades success hinges on whether Matthews prefers Minnesota over other potential destinations.
