On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alexis Pearson of the Bardown Beauties Podcast joins the show! We start by recapping the Joel Eriksson Ek and Nick Bjugstad extensions, and why Eriksson Ek is an important player but not a top line center. We also discuss how Bjugstad can be an impact player on the 4th line for the Wild, but if these two signings are meant to be impact additions the Wild are in trouble.

We move to Kirill Kaprizov's contract extension negotiations. If both parties are doing what they need to do with years and dollars, can one side win in the end? We also discuss how important it is to get Kirill a better center (nothing personal Victor Rask). We finish by discussing the expansion draft and Alexis lays out a couple of surprise players she is coming to terms with the Wild potentially losing, including Cam Talbot.
