Deadline Drama: Which Seven NHL Teams Are Racing Against Time to Shake Up Their Rosters?
All of this is exciting, but the Wild can’t afford to be complacent. Their roster isn’t perfect, and because they’re in the vaunted Central Division, they’re projected to face an elite Dallas Stars team in the first round of the playoffs. If they get past Dallas, the Colorado Avalanche will likely be waiting for them in Round 2. There’s organizational pressure to finally get over the first-round playoff hump, as they haven’t won a playoff series since 2015. The stakes are especially high because a long postseason run would boost their odds of being able to convince Hughes to re-sign when he’s extension-eligible this summer.
