The Minnesota Wild had an eventful start to training camp, as reports of Kirill Kaprizov turning down an eight-year, $128 million contract extension had fans nervous. But it's not all doom and gloom regarding contract negotiations. The focus now is on the upcoming season, where the Wild hope to make it to the second round for the first time since 2015.
While there are other teams like the New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings are celebrating their 100th, or centennial, seasons, the Wild are celebrating their 25th season. On Thursday, the Wild unveiled a surprise for their fans.
