On this episode of the Wild Takes podcast, Dev and Zooch celebrate an electric trade deadline from Billy G and the Minnesota Wild that resulted in the additions of Jacob Middleton, Tyson Jost, Nicolas Deslauriers, and MARC-ANDRÉ FLEURY!!! They debut two new segments, Cup Clinks (4:53) and Stick Taps (10:57) before diving into the trade deadline moves and what to expect from the Wild moving forward. They do a deep dive on Victor Rask to Seattle (13:43) Jacob Middleton in exchange for Kaapo Kahkonen and a 5th round pick (16:04) Nicolas Deslauriers for a 3rd round pick (21:06) Marc-André Fleury for a conditional 2nd round pick and how Jack McBain made that possible (24:13) and Tyson Jost for Nico Sturm (30:14).

After the deadline talk wraps up, they discuss Billy G's take on the Wild's recent slump (33:01) the Wild's playoff push and the schedule for the next week (35:32) before wrapping up by giving their Wild Takes (42:21). All that and more on an episode critics are calling "pants tightening fun" and "more passionate than Mel Gibson at a rally".
