Wild’s Big Swing Could Somehow End With McDavid or Matthews

Minnesota fans are being asked to believe in a moonshot, and in this league that usually means somebody has either seen too much or knows something. The idea of the Wild landing a superstar like Connor McDavid or Auston Matthews is the kind of chatter that gets front offices humming and fan bases daydreaming before breakfast. It also says plenty about where the Wild think they stand and how aggressively they may want to chase a true franchise tilt in the coming years.
