Let’s go over some news and notes:
- Should we talk about the game against the Bruins? Yeah, we probably should. What a crummy way for the Wild to lose. [Hockey Wilderness]
- Ryan Donato still hasn’t gotten totally comfortable with the Wild yet, but he has a small army of people in Boston cheering him on. [The Athletic]
- The trades that sent Nino Niederreiter, Charlie Coyle and Mikael Granlund away were objectively not great, but none of those players are exactly doing much with their new teams.
