That’s Wild

• Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson is giving Kirill Kaprizov a run for his money in terms of Calder Trophy competition. But is he really a threat to win it all at the end of the season? [The Athletic]
• Speaking of the Calder, does Dean Evason’s coaching dampen the chances of Kaprizov walking away as the ROTY? [10K Rinks]

Off the trail...
