Word is the Wild have a standing offer to the Rangers for Trocheck. The Rangers sitting on it and waiting to see if they get a better one. It looks a couple of other western teams enquired and Trocheck shot those down. It looks like the Wild are his only exception to staying in the east.

My guess is the standing offer is built around Stramel and the 2027 first round pick with possibly a young D like Lambos. I seriously doubt Yurov was included, otherwise Trocheck would be on the Wild right now.

I don't much care for that deal myself. We lose a 1st round pick and give away a big, strong, quality center prospect that skates well when that is what we need.

The problem is that the window of Kaprizov’s prime is now. Throw in the need to show Hughes we are a serious contender to get him to sign an extension and the Wild are in position to pay a premium price for a top 6 center. At this point Guerin is smart enough to know he can get more for Yurov after the season.

I would still much rather do Wallstedt for Cozens if that deal is available.

From Russo:
#mnwild claim Robby Fabbri. Had an 18- and 17-goal year with Detroit and played 10 playoff games during Blues Cup run. Scored at least 15 goals 4x in career

Place Pitlick on waivers to make move.

Fabbri has had much of his career derailed by injuries. Three ACL surgeries alone.

A waiver wire pickup replacing another waiver wire pickup in Pitlick. Maybe a little upgrade, but doesn't really move the needle even on the 4th line.
Now it sounds like we may need a Foligno replacement too. Clock is ticking Billy.....

I think he will go Stamkos if NY doesn't accept our offer or Ottawa. Stamkos comments helped Billy out as their is some leverage for moves. I think more teams want to sell than buy but not too many high end guys.

When I followed Hockey more a few years back I knew that Steven Stamkos was among the few best in the world. I wondered if he still was a top player and asked Google AI. This is what they had to say.

As of March 2026, 36-year-old Steven Stamkos remains a premier NHL goal-scorer, rebounding from a slow start to net his 10th career 30-goal season. Now with the Nashville Predators, he has scored 30 goals and 46 points in 59 games, with 24 goals coming since December. He is effective as a top-six winger, hitting the 30-goal mark.

Key Aspects of Current Performance:
Production: Currently producing at a 30-goal, 46-point pace, with 27 goals in his last 43 games as of late February 2026.
Goal Scoring: Remains elite in his finishing, having reached the 30-goal mark for the 10th time in his 18-season career.
Impact: Considered a high-caliber veteran with immense value, with teams like the New Jersey Devils interested in his top-six offensive abilities for a playoff push.
Role: While his overall points-per-game is down compared to his peak in Tampa Bay, he continues to be a major offensive threat and a top power-play producer.

Despite a difficult first year in Nashville, Stamkos has proven he can still perform at a high level into his mid-30s.
