The Minnesota Wild got winger Vladimir Tarasenko for nothing on the eve of NHL free agency, acquiring the two-time Stanley Cup champion in a trade Monday with the Detroit Red Wings for future considerations. Tarasenko, 33, has one year left on his contract at a salary cap hit of $4.75 million. He helped Florida win the Cup last year after being a key part of St. Louis' championship run in 2019.
