A More Optimal 2025-26 Roster is Just a Few Tweaks Away

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we turn our sights to 2025-26 to look at how a few simple tweaks could lead to a much more optimal lineup. We take a look at a proposed roster from Twitter that features: Kirill Kaprizov-Joel Eriksson Ek, Matt BoldyDanila Yurov-Marco Rossi-Liam OhgrenMats Zuccarello-Marat Khusnutdinov-Riley HeidtYakov Trenin-Freddy Gaudreau-Marcus FolignoJakob LaukoBrock Faber-Jonas BrodinJared Spurgeon-Zeev BuiumJake Middleton-Daemon HuntDeclan ChisholmJesper WallstedtFilip GustavssonAnd what it would take to make that roster a reality. Some moves (Johansson for Yurov) match up perfectly, but it seems likely that Bill Guerin will have to move at least one of the players he inked to a long term extension. We also discuss why waiting until 2025-26 to put this in motion could entice Kirill Kaprizov to stay (IF IT PANS OUT). We also discuss why it's still on John Hynes and Bill Guerin to make this roster happen.Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: Locked On WildFollow/Subscribe Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnWildFollow Locked On NHL: linktr.ee/lockedonNHLJoin our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/ZAB6yyckHave a Question for the Show or a Topic you want Covered?
