Minnesota Wild Acquire Gustav Nyquist

February 28, 2023 at 5:05 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 14 Comments

The Minnesota Wild are acquiring forward Gustav Nyquist from the Columbus Blue Jackets, according to Chris Johnston of NorthStar Bets. The Blue Jackets later announced they would be acquiring a 2023 fifth-round pick from Minnesota in return, originally belonging to the Boston Bruins.

Nyquist is still out long-term as he remains week-to-week after recovering from shoulder surgery. However, per Michael Russo, Nyquist expects to be back before the end of the regular season.

That’s especially important considering this morning’s news that the NHL will closely scrutinize any trade deadline transaction involving players on long-term injured reserve for the remainder of the season. Additionally, as PuckPedia notes, the Wild have enough cap space to avoid placing Nyquist on LTIR, making this a legally sound move under NHL rules.

Nyquist, 33, is in the final season of a four-year contract with a $5.5MM cap hit signed with Columbus in 2019. His tenure there didn’t work out as hoped, with him missing significant time, including the entire 2020-21 season, due to injuries. He had 10 goals and 22 points in 48 games this season before sustaining his latest injury.

Minnesota receives, if healthy, a capable middle-six winger to add to the acquisition of Marcus Johansson earlier today. It’s an added offensive boost over players in top-nine roles like Jordan Greenway and Brandon Duhaime, who haven’t produced at a top-nine pace this season.

The Athletic’s Michael Russo was first to report Minnesota’s interest in Nyquist.

    Expect a pick conditional on how many playoff games Nyquist is able to play. Columbus received such a pick for Riley Nash a few years ago.

    More pedestrian moves by the Wild, Guerin is just spinning his wheels.

      While this is not a major move and I was rather ambivalent when first hearing the news, given your solid history of being wrong about pretty much everything, your seal of disapproval says that this will end up being a good trade.

    What time does the bus leave for Des Moines?

    It’s state girls basketball tournament this week in Iowa. The next Catlin Clark might be playing. She’ll be making a difference in Minneapolis at the Big 10 tournament. Tickets are $12 with $16 online fees. BTW, her high school team never made the state tournament. Tell me women’s college basketball isn’t relevant.

      Ok women’s college basketball is irrelevant. Especially on a hockey board. I would say 70-80% on here probably could not name more than 5 college women players. So no it is not relevant unless you have a family member or friend playing.

      They can’t afford him without a pawnbroker and he’s having a worse year than Nyquist when healthy.

      Well other than the fact that Nyquist ISN’T healthy and he HASN’T been better than JVR this year that statement follows.

    About time.
    Wild have been trying for a few years now to get Gus in a wild uniform.
    Has to be about the cheapest way to make it happen too even if he ends up not being able to play. all we gave up was a pick…good thing bg got those picks from helping make trades earlier this week.
