Wild Nab Petry from Panthers for Cheap Pick

Minnesota bolsters its defense by prying veteran Jeff Petry from Florida in exchange for a seventh-rounder, a steal that fortifies their back end. Petry brings that steady, no-nonsense presence GMs crave for playoff pushes, especially with the Wild grinding in the Central. Panthers flip the aging blueliner to clear space, but Minnesota knows this low-cost grab elevates their shutdown game right when contenders separate.
