Elliotte Friedman: Re Dylan Larkin/Wild rumours: There's a deal there, it's like Danila Yurov, Charlie Stramel, who knows what else, it makes too much sense - 32 Thoughts (6/5)
Bill Guerin said re-signing Quinn Hughes is "priority one" the summer. Talked about how much Hughes liked it here, how much of an impact he had on this team. Everyone needs time to decompress, Guerin said, but they'll focus on that for sure #mnwild
Kaprizov on Hughes: “I think Quinn wants to stay here and win here, and we want him so much.”
He says he has talked to Hughes a ton living in the same building and spends a lot of time with him.
Quinn Hughes: “I really like it here. I love the team. I love the city and the fans. Being in that lockerooom, it’s a special group. I would definitely be open to re-signing here with the guys that we have. There’s a lot of trust with Billy as well. Love Hynesy + Cappy and the coaching staff. I think it’s a great spot, great situation for me.” #mnwild

NHL Western Conference Standings:
1. Avalanche (121 points)
2. Stars (112 pts)
3. Wild (104 pts)
In the 1st Round… the 2-seed was eliminated by the 3-seed.
In the 2nd Round… the 3-seed was eliminated by the 1-seed.
4-7 seeds battled it out on the other side.
Just ridiculous.
Tough finish.
This one will sting for a while.
Wild couldn’t have started better. Missed chances to deliver a knockout punch.
But the better team won the series.
It was a fun season. Great series win vs the Stars. So much excitement in St Paul. But sadly now, the offseason officially begins.
Expected goals almost 83% for the Avs since the end of the first period. Attempts 61-22
But now it could take just one play.
Which team’s playmakers will make the one play that wins it?
