The Minnesota Wild are going to miss a few valuable offensive contributors as they look to build on an encouraging 2025-26 season. The Minnesota Wild enjoyed a hugely productive 2025-26 season, acquiring a bonafide superstar in Quinn Hughes and winning a playoff round for the first time in 11 years. The Wild once again have failed to upgrade their top-six center depth this summer, which is head-scratching. But behind him, the Wild still don't have another proven top-six center capable of driving offense on a nightly basis. But failing to bring in any kind of top-six center help, and instead settling for minor depth adjustments, has undoubtedly been the team's biggest mistake so far this summer.
