Right, Derek, over to you. Who's your most underrated signing at this point
0:06
Yeah, likewise. I mean, it's a it's another one that's a bit under the radar as opposed
0:10
to Stevenson. But I'm saying the wild signing Yakov Trenin, the four year deal worth 14
0:16
million, so three and a half per season. Really, obviously, a guy that's not going to fill the net
0:24
He is a bottom six forward, but he's a solid, solid forward. He's widely considered to be one
0:30
of the hardest to play against league wide. I've heard a lot of interviews with players that just
0:34
do not like playing against Yakov Trenin. He plays all three forward positions, he blocks shots
0:40
he kills penalties, he four checks and backs back checks hard. I mean, he's a relatively big duty
0:46
six to 200. And he's only 27 years old. And he just put up the most points in a season as well
0:51
It was only 27. So it wasn't crazy. But still, the fact that he's showing a bit more confidence
0:56
in that regard is good. But it just in general, I mean, maybe he's not exactly what the Minnesota
1:01
wild need to get to the next level. But he's adding middle six grid at a very, you know
1:07
palatable AV and not much commitment at four years, he'll be only be 31 at the at the end of
1:13
it. But anytime you can add a player like that, who you can rely on, I think it makes it easier
1:19
for those other players to like, it'll take a lot of pressure off of Marco Rossi and Apple
1:25
the and those younger guys, you know, you know, you guys handle the scoring, let me and Marcus
1:30
Foligno and those other guys take on the D and fight and stuff like that. I mean, so in that
1:37
regard, I think I think this will be a bit of an underrated contract. And I only say underrated
1:41
just because you don't really talk about Yakov Trenin, right? I mean, yeah. So on the on the Cameron Strick podcast, they have Marcus Foligno on this week, I guess
1:52
last week, and they were recording as the free agency started to open right before. And so they
1:58
kind of broke that news that the that Trenov saw Trenin signed with the wild to Marcus Foligno
2:05
He was like, Oh, thank God, I hate playing against that guy. That's great. Here you go
