When the NHL season was paused in March, the Minnesota Wild were sitting just outside the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, trailing the Vancouver Canucks and Nashville Predators by a single point.
At the time, there was still a lot of uncertainty about whether or not the NHL would be able to resume and finish its season, as well as what the format would be if they were able to do so. That uncertainty caused many fans and people across the hockey world to speculate on whether or not certain older players had played their last games with their current teams.
