Looking at seven Wild trades and the first of the Vikings' big moves

March 7, 2023 at 2:46PM
(The Minnesota Star Tribune)

Introduction: Host Michael Rand takes a pause from frantically analyzing the Vikings' salary cap situation to note that the business side of the NFL — and sports in general — kind of stinks. In what other industry would an exemplary employee like Eric Kendricks be a logical candidate to be fired?

7:00: Wild beat writer Sarah McLellan joins Rand for a look at a busy stretch that saw GM Bill Guerin execute seven trades. The net result is a Wild team positioned better to score goals and perhaps make a playoff run.

30:00: St. Thomas carves out a niche; Rudy Gobert starts to shine.
