The Wild Could Trade Jared Spurgeon To Four Contending Teams This Offseason

Minnesota Wild captain Jared Spurgeon's No-Movement Clause (NMC) will turn into a Modified No-Trade Clause (M-NTC) this offseason, meaning the Wild have more flexibility with his cap hit than in previous years. Spurgeon is a beloved player in the “State of Hockey” who has played a top-four defense role for 14 years. Many fans feel he should be untouchable, but the Wild aren't in a Stanley Cup winning window right now. Spurgeon has three years remaining on his seven-year contract, and less term means the Wild should be more equipped to trade him.
