A top-10 finish in the overall standings last season with 103 points and 46 wins might make it confusing to see Minnesota poised near the bottom of the standings with a 5-10-4 record this season. However, with head coach Dean Evason and assistant Bob Woods getting sacked on Monday, new bench boss John Hynes has a challenging task to turn things around.

Minnesota has seen a decline in some of its prominent players, making them potential trade targets for fantasy managers looking for a bargain. Standout player Kirill Kaprizov, for example, has not lived up to his previous scoring rates, presenting an opportunity for fantasy managers to acquire him at a reduced cost.

The same applies to other stars like Mitchell Marner, who has appeared ice-cold following a red-hot start to the season, and high-profile performer Matthew Tkachuk, who has hit a rough patch offensively.

However, fantasy managers should also consider trading away players like J.T. Miller, whose phenomenal current performance might not be sustainable in the long run, as well as others like Andrei Svechnikov, Ryan O’Reilly, Charlie Coyle, and Trevor Moore, all of whom need to be carefully assessed before attempting to trade them.

By evaluating these players’ performances and seeking potentially favorable trade deals, fantasy managers could maximize their chances of securing valuable additions to their teams while mitigating the risk of their high-performing players regressing.
