Gustav Nyquist was traded to the Minnesota Wild by the Nashville Predators on Saturday for a second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.
The Predators could trade Ryan O'Reilly before Friday's deadline but Barry Trotz would need a specific return.
The Minnesota Wild were light on cap space two years ago and high on ambition. Bill Guerin didn’t want to give up substantial assets, so he traded a 2024 third-rounder for Marcus Johansson and a fifth for Gustav Nyquist.
Defenseman Marc Del Gaizo scored his first career goal and registered his first multi-point game in the Nashville Predators' loss to the Islanders.
ST. PAUL - The Minnesota Wild made a trade to acquire Gustav Nyquist from the Nashville Predators for a second-round pick. Because it was just a draft pick, the Wild had to send someone down.
