Michael Russo Puts Cold Water on Auston Matthews-to-Wild Trade Speculation
NHL insider Michael Russo has tempered expectations regarding Auston Matthews being traded to the Minnesota Wild. Despite potential interest from Wild GM Bill Guerin, Russo believes Minnesota lacks the necessary assets to acquire the star forward.
Matthews’ contract and recent injury, coupled with the Wild’s depleted trade war chest from previous deals, make such a transaction highly improbable, according to Russo.
