Some teams are looking for that one last puzzle piece, and free agency always offers a great glimpse into the direction of an individual franchise.

Some teams are looking for that one last puzzle piece, and free agency always offers a great glimpse into the direction of an individual franchise.

Leading up to the next expansion draft in the NHL on July 21st, we have been previewing each team’s potential protected list and which player they will lose to the Kraken. Today is the Central Division. After only six teams in the Pacific will need to participate (aside from the Kraken, of course), the Central’s eight is a big boost up. They will also have a new team in this division, or at least when the season resets officially on July 28th. So, let’s make some predictions.
Minnesota. The state of hockey. Proud home to one of the most passionate fan bases in the National Hockey League. A state known for its widespread hospitality, infamous βTwin-citiesβ, and itβs love for all sports from the collegiate to the professional level. Teams like the Twins, Golden Gophers, Timberwolves, Vikings, and of course, the Wild, dominate headlines and conversations from all facets of life. Although there have been changes both on and off the ice this off-season, one thing remains certain. The love and dedication of the Minnesota fans for their sports teams run high and deep across the beautiful state of Minnesota.
