PETRY PICKED UP BY THE WILD

The Minnesota Wild acquired defenseman Jeff Petry from the Florida Panthers for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2026.

What does it give the Minnesota Wild
The Wild are adding a grizzled veteran in Petry, who has been up and down this season with the Panthers. Petry will likely be Minnesota's No. 7 defenseman if the team is healthy.

What does it give the Florida Panthers
It is rare to see Florida as a seller but here we are. Petry was a stopgap defenseman for them, so they did well to add a conditional pick here–which can become a fifth-round pick.
