    By Sarah McLellan Wild prospect Danila Yurov is leaving Russia. Yurov signed a three-year, entry-level contract that begins next season after an impressive run in the KHL that fueled the intrigue surrounding the power forward since the Wild drafted him in the first round 24th overall in 2022.

    The Wild have money to spend this offseason on free agents, but an influx of youth from within is still a go.

The long-awaited light at the end of the tunnel is here.

    The reality that he's retired didn't dawn on Marc-Andre Fleury during one last curtain call at Xcel Energy Center after the Wild were eliminated from the playoffs to officially end the goaltender's NHL career. He waved to the crowd Thursday night and then ducked off ice, Fleury not wanting to get emotional and prolong his final farewell after a season full of goodbyes. On the drive home, he thought about how lucky he was to play so long and to make his childhood dream come true.
