Guerin alters Wild’s recipe for success by trading for former Norris Trophy winner Quinn Hughes

December 13, 2025

Bill Guerin was wrist deep in a bowl of meatballs when he completed one of the biggest trades in Minnesota Wild history. The Wild general manager found out Friday night that Vancouver Canucks president Jim Rutherford had agreed to trade former Norris Trophy-winning defenseman Quinn Hughes to Minnesota for three young players and a future No. 1 draft pick. Guerin told reporters Saturday that he was making meatballs for Christmas Eve dinner when Rutherford called. He said: “I had to take my latex gloves off” and “There was a fist-pump involved.” The move is the clearest indication that Guerin and Wild are going all in this season as they seek their first Stanley Cup in the team’s 25-year history.

Missing Clark, Fever soar past Lynx 74-59 to win WNBA Commissioner’s Cup

July 1, 2025

Natasha Howard had 16 points, 12 rebounds and four assists as the Indiana Fever defeated the Minnesota Lynx 74-59 in the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final. The Fever were missing All-Star guard Caitlin Clark, who has been sidelined since June 24 with a strained groin. That didn’t slow down the Fever, who overcame an early 13-point deficit with balanced scoring and a stout defensive performance against the team with the best record in the league. Minnesota had its worst offensive performance of the season, shooting 34.9% from the floor and making 4 of 16 3-pointers after averaging 9.4 3-pointers this season.
