Which players sit whenever the Wild finally get fully healthy?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:20:12 GMT

Though he won’t make the upcoming road trip with the Wild, it sounds like Kirill Kaprizov is close to getting back on his skates. Meanwhile, it seems like only a matter of time before Gustav Nyquist is ready to make his team debut as he has been cleared to practice.In other words, the Wild are on the verge of being fully healthy, meaning it won’t be long before coach Dean Evason has some very tough decisions regarding his lineup.Asked about potentially having to sit a player that doesn’t deserve to sit, Evason emphasized how the Wild have fostered a culture in the locker room where teammates support teammates regardless of playing time.No player personifies that mentality that more than Sam Steel. After serving as the No. 1 center for a good chunk of this season, Steel now spends most of his nights as a healthy scratch. He has fallen out of the lineup over the past month or so, slotting in only when other players are hurt.Minnesota Wild center Sam Steel (13) in the...

(AP Photo/Jim Mone)But it’s gotten progressively better this spring to the point where manager Rocco Baldelli thinks the 24-year-old will be at his natural position come Opening Day on Thursday. Miranda spent most of the spring serving as the team’s designated hitter before only recently starting to play the field again.“Obviously I’m not going to say it feels incredible, 100 percent right now, but it’s going to keep improving,” Miranda said. “As of right now, it feels pretty good.”It’ll take daily maintenance and work in the trainer’s r...

The cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis will lift winter parking restrictions at 8 a.m. Wednesday.As a historic winter snowfall began narrowing streets and making passage for emergency vehicles difficult-to-impossible, Minneapolis implemented one-sided parking on Jan. 25, and and St. Paul did the same on March 10.St. Paul Public Works officials said milder weather has allowed the snow pack to melt, returning streets to closer-to-normal conditions.“We realize that putting in place additional parking restrictions was a challenge for many residents who need on-street parking,” said Sean Kershaw, St. Paul Director of Public Works, in a written statement. “Our plow and emergency vehicle drivers appreciated residents’ compliance so they could continue to safely access and clear our streets this winter.”This is Minnesota, and a surprise late-season snowfall could yet trigger a new snow emergency. St. Paul officials encourage residents to sign up for text and email alerts and use the snow em...

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10)--With the budget deadline looming, members of the Cannabis Association of New York are making a final push to have their priorities added in the state budget.At the New York State Capitol on Tuesday, advocates were calling on the legislature to repeal the THC potency tax, something Senator Jeremy Cooney supports."Now, under the current law in New York State, a product that has a higher potency or a higher percentage of THC— could be an edible, could be a smokable product, that would actually be charged at a higher dollar amount than other types of products. What we are trying to do is recognize that we don’t tax based on the type of product it is," explained Cooney.Advocates say the repeal would make the adult-use market more competitive."If we don’t pass this tax reform now, it will probably be too late because it could wait for years potentially and by that point, the prices will be so high that people will continue shopping at the illegal stores and bypassin...
