    Anyone else kind of surprised the Wild haven’t extended Boldy yet? The kid has looked like a stud in the preseason games he’s been in and appears poised to take a big step in his development this season, why not get ahead of that?

    Not surprised at all. Bridge deals never get signed until the off-season.

    Robertson bridge deal signed 4 x $7.75 – he’s *probably* better than Boldy but if Boldy takes a step forward this year you can be sure that’s the contract his agent points to as a comparable.

    Agreed.

    41 goals last year is what got Robertson that deal….Boldy will need to approach that number to get a similar deal imo (goal scorers get paid) His agent’s argument will be, put Matt on a line with Pavelski and Hintz and see what his numbers look like…

    He now joins the bonkers list of 2026 offseason expiring contracts that will need to be re-signed…

    Pretty full lineup tonight against the Hawks, with no Hartman my guess is you’ll see Marco given some shifts with Kirill and Zuccy to see how the kid responds…

    That could be real fun to watch. I really like the chances for #97 making the opening night roster -)

    I don’t know… he’ll need to EARN it… remember, perfecting their game in the AHL never hurt anybody… his game will tell us when he’s ready )

    I was just watching youtube videos of his “best” goals from last year the other day. He is just unreal to watch. I cant recall who the prospect was in the one exhibition game I watched, but his skating really reminded me of good ole KK97. Edgework was unreal. It might have been Shaw, but I dont know those players real well.

    he generates so much offense its unreal…he’s top 5 in the league for sure… what’s scary for the league is that he should get better as his supporting cast improves the next few seasons… he sets up so many chances for teammates that don’t score…

    just watch this video to understand how valuable he is – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DscmyoWGj6Y

    lol, I forgot this was the Hartman 1 finger salute game!

    now i’ve gone down a youtube wormhole of Kaprizov videos….

    That goal where he and Zuccy were playing catch behind the net is one of my absolute favorites. You can totally tell what he is about to do as each time he passes he gets closer to the side of the net.

    Bally’s just announced their Wild broadcast schedule, 70 games total (12 others are likely covered by ESPN/TNT)

    Wild nation will be happy to hear that GiGi is NOT part of the broadcast team!

    Little surprised to see KK and Zuccy on the 4th line but in Deano we trust, right? Big opportunity for #23 tonight

    That is great news! I’m sure she is a great person but she just couldn’t figure it out minus the Christmas show she did with Audra haha.

    Is tonight’s game on TV? Definitely want to check out Rossi being paired with KK.

    In memoriam of the greatest Hockey postgame christmas concert known to Wildfans and mankind!

    The challenge has been sent to Biz and Tocchet on TNT!

    chased

    I figured that would’ve been buried down deep in a vault somewhere never to be seen again.

    Audra has grown on me a bit after she’s been on the kfan morning show a few times. Apparently she actually has a fairly legit musical background if I heard it right. But man, that Christmas special was damn funny. Maybe those two can get together for a yearly Wild Christmas Album.

    I think the Blackhawks might go 0-82 this season… I really hope they get terrible ping-pong luck…

    Shitcago appears to easily be the worst team in the central division, if not the entire western conference. Atrocious is the word I would use to describe them.

    Ya’ll are forgetting about that team in the desert who’s also in the Central. Their only household names are Keller, who snapped his femur a few months ago, and Chychrun, who just demanded a trade ASAP. Gonna be a hell of a race to the bottom for Bedard this year.
