Freddy Gaudreau had just gotten off the ice Thursday morning after an offseason skills practice in Rock Forest, Quebec, when he realized something was up. Gaudreau, 32, checked his phone and saw a missed text message from Minnesota Wild president of hockey operations and general manager Bill Guerin. “You kind of know if the GM says, ‘Call me please,’ it’s something more than just, ‘How’s your day?” Gaudreau said. Gaudreau has been in the league long enough to sense what was coming next.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — A Brinks truck pulled up to Minnesota Wild headquarters around 11:30 a.m. Thursday. Two armed men walked in, one holding a bag of cash. With five days until the Wild are allowed to sign Kirill Kaprizov to the biggest extension in franchise history — one that would make the star one of the highest-paid players in the NHL — the obvious joke was that the officers were delivering the organization the funds to get the deal done. Well, not quite yet.

The Minnesota Wild swung the pendulum the other direction on Monday, replacing Brett McLean, who had no head coaching experience when he took over with AHL Iowa two years ago, with someone with vast head coaching experience at the collegiate, minor league and NHL level. Greg Cronin, who began coaching in the 1980s at Colby College and University of Maine, has been hired as the sixth coach of the Wild’s AHL affiliate.

This year's NHL Scouting Combine was different for Minnesota Wild director of amateur scouting Judd Brackett. The Wild don't have a first-round pick (thanks to the David Jiricek trade), nor did they have a third-rounder. So there weren't nearly as many interviews in Buffalo as they focused on who they might take as their second-rounder (No. 52). "It's certainly harder to predict," Brackett said on the "Fellowship of the Rink" podcast.
