The Minnesota Wiles stay busy at the trade deadline with several small deals to boost death rather than splashy blockbusters. They added big-sensor Michael McCarran, who scored in his debut by tipping a shot in front. Speedy forwards Robbie Fabri and Bobby Bring joined for offense, defenseman Jeff Petri short up the blue line and veteran leader Nick Felino came over from Chicago for experience. The team shipped out Vinnie Hennestroza and David Girichek to make room. Felineo's move caught many by surprise, even giving him a chance to face off against his brother Marcus. These tweaks aim to add grit and leadership without shaking up the core. Fans might have hoped for a star like Quinn Hughes, but the focus on depth has folks optimistic about the playoff push. The wild wrapped the week with a shootout loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday March 8th, though Matt Bouldey kept his hot streak alive with a goal.
