The Nashville Predators have traded forward Gustav Nyquist to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for a 2026 second-round draft choice, retaining 50% of his salary. Nyquist, who has struggled this season with only 21 points in 57 games, is looking to regain form after a previous stint with the Wild. Minnesota is currently facing injury challenges, including the absence of star player Kirill Kaprizov, making Nyquist's acquisition crucial for their offensive depth and penalty kill improvement.
