Kaprizov-led · Finally a contender
Kirill Kaprizov put up an MVP-caliber season alongside a healthy Matt Boldy, while Brock Faber continued cementing himself as one of the league's best young two-way defensemen. Bill Guerin's mid-season heist of Quinn Hughes from imploding Vancouver was the trade of the year, Hughes putting up a point-per-game pace and instantly becoming the Wild's #1 D. Rookie Jesper Wallstedt was a revelation, his .916 save percentage ranking second in the NHL with five shutouts in his first full season.
