For the second straight season the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers will meet in the Stanley Cup Finals. There are three former Wild players who will be competing for the Stanley Cup.
REPORT: Possible Landing Spots For Minnesota Wild’s Marco Rossi.
Minnesota Wild Free Agent Target: Brock Nelson.
Wild Top Prospect Danila Yurov Signs Entry-Level Contract.
Dmitry Kulikov, who won the Stanley Cup last season for the Panthers, will be joined by Nico Sturm as the two former Wild players on the Panthers.
John Klingberg is the only Oiler on the roster who will compete for the Stanley Cup. Travis Dermott was claimed off waivers by the Wild earlier in the season but was eventually put back on waivers and claimed by the Oilers. He is not listed on the roster though.
Sturm, 30, spent his first four NHL seasons with the Wild before he was dealt to the Colorado Avalanche in 2021-22. He won a cup that season. Kulikov spent just one season with the Wild in 2021-22.
Klingberg, 32, was acquired by the Wild at the trade deadline in 2022-23. He played 17 regular season games for the Wild and four playoff games.
