Not only does that mean that the Minnesota Wild isn’t about to lock itself into a contract that may not offer the value it equates to, but it also means they’re not going to be foolish enough to give up someone like Matt Dumba to the Leafs in return for William Nylander.
Per Michael Russo of The Athletic (subscription required): ‘the Wild’s interest — whether it was once legit or just simple due diligence — has waned.’
Now don’t get me wrong; it’s only right for Minnesota Wild General Manager, Paul Fenton to conduct due diligence.
