As the NHL's trade deadline approaches in just over a week, rumors are swirling at their peak intensity for the season. Amidst the speculation, we've received some clarity on the future of a player who's been at the center of trade talks.

However, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman confirmed today that the team has no plans to part ways with him.

However, their recent record of 7-2-1 in the last ten games has injected a sense of optimism among fans. With this momentum, the Wild are eyeing one final push to secure a wild card spot in the postseason.
