Wild Hunting for Trade Targets Ahead of Deadline

As of November 17th, 2025, the Minnesota Wild are actively exploring the trade market in search of players that could bolster their roster ahead of the NHL's trade deadline. According to the team's general manager, Bill Guerin, no one on the current roster is off-limits as he looks to make significant changes to the team.

Guerin has indicated that he is willing to part ways with some of the Wild's veteran core players, including defensemen Jared Spurgeon and forward Ryan Hartman. The team's recent success, with a 6-1-1 record in their last eight games, has not deterred Guerin from exploring all options to improve the team's chances of making a deep playoff run.

One potential trade chip the Wild may use is prospect Liam Ohgren, who has struggled to break into the NHL lineup so far this season. While the team remains high on Ohgren's potential, they may be willing to include him in a trade for the right player.
