Nyquist, 35, started the season on the Nashville Predators after playing there the year before. Nyquist was on the Wild during the 2022-23 season. He left for free agency and signed a two-year deal with the Predators.
After a terrific first season with Nashville, the veteran forward struggled last year before he was traded to the Wild for a second round pick in 2026. Nyquist scored two goals and had seven points in 28 games with the Wild. He had zero points in six playoff games.
When asked about how Nyquist would approach July 1st, he said he would love to come back to the Wild for the 2025-26 season. The Wild opted to resign Marcus Johansson and let Nyquist go. He eventually signed a one-year deal with the Jets for the 2025-26 season.

Penguins GM Reportedly 'Asking for a Ton' in Trade Talks for Two Veteran Players
Penguins GM Reportedly 'Asking for a Ton' in Trade Talks for Two Veteran Players originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Penguins are listening to trade offers, but according to the latest reports, the lack of activity has to do with the franchise's unwillingness to give away talent cheaply. According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli, general manager Kyle Dubas has set a "pretty high" asking price for veterans Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust, both of whom are coming off career-best seasons. In a video shared by B/R Open Ice on X, Seravalli explained Dubas' mindset regarding the trade market. 'What's going on? What's the asking price for Erik Karlsson, Bryan Rust, and Rickard Rakell? The answer is, it's pretty high.' The Penguins are reportedly targeting 'real significant value' for either forward, and Seravalli noted that Pittsburgh is leveraging a market lacking in top-six wingers. 'Rust and Rakell are both coming off of very strong seasons,' Seravalli said. 'Both of them more than lived up to expectations. And Pittsburgh is looking at this market inefficiency and saying, 'No one else can get their hands on these top-six guys, (so) we're not going to give them away.'' According to Seravalli, Dubas has been "asking for a ton" for both Rust and Rakell, and he's still "asking for a lot" for Karlsson, considering the Penguins are expected to do the acquiring team a favor in retaining some of the defenseman's salary. Rakell, 32, tallied 35 goals and 70 points in 81 regular-season games last season, and carries a $5 million salary cap hit. Rust, 33, scored 31 goals and added 34 assists for 65 total points in 71 regular-season games, and carries a $5.125 million cap hit. Both have three years left on their deals, while the Penguins have a huge $13 million in cap space with most of this offseason's free agents already off the board.

NHL Analyst Outlines Scenario for Possible Sidney Crosby Trade
NHL Analyst Outlines Scenario for Possible Sidney Crosby Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Amid mounting speculation about a potential Pittsburgh Penguins trade involving captain and franchise icon Sidney Crosby, nothing has materialized yet. And according to the latest reports, it's likely that nothing happens on that front at least through next season. Explaining his view of the situation on his Bleacher Report podcast, NHL insider Frank Seravalli said any possible trade involving Crosby likely won't happen until the 2026 offseason — at the earliest. "I think 'eventually' might be the key word there," Seravalli said. "I could see it. I think it's still a real long shot. Mostly because I think we're taking Sidney Crosby — I think you have to take him at his own word. He wants to be a Pittsburgh Penguin. He wants to finish his career in Pittsburgh." Explaining what it might take to see Crosby leave Pittsburgh, Seravalli pointed to teammate Evgeni Malkin's likely departure once his contract is over next offseason as a potential turning point. That said, Seravalli emphasized that nothing is imminent and that Crosby might still want to remain with the Penguins after Malkin is gone. "I think one thing to keep an eye on here is that Crosby has been really focused on playing out this run with Evgeni Malkin at forward," Seravalli said. "Particularly, those guys have had so much success together, they're so close, that I think with Malkin's deal expiring at the end of this upcoming season, that maybe that presents a window or an opening where he reconsiders or something different happens." Crosby, who will turn 38 next month, continues to perform at an elite level and has two years left on his contract. He recorded 91 points in 80 regular-season games last season, yet the Penguins missed the playoffs for the third consecutive year. If Crosby gets traded, according to Seravalli, that won't happen in-season. On top of that, the insider believes this is not the offseason for a Crosby trade. "I also don't see this being an in-season trade," Seravalli said. "So I would think that if it's going to happen, that it would be in an offseason, and definitely not this one."

"Who's the greatest Ohio State QB-WR duo of all time?" one fan wondered. One fan replied: "There are a lot of answers to this, a lot of them with merit. This answer, however, is Cardale Jones to Devin Smith. They were here for a good time, not a long time." Another wrote: "Cardale Jones to Devin Smith. Short relationship, but it was definitely sweet." One added: "Cardale Jones to Devin Smith. They had a short run but man it was effective."
