Wild exit interviews: What we learned about free agent plans, injuries and more

>Gustavsson’s plan is to head home to Skelleftea this week for the summer. The Wild would like to see him work on his conditioning so he’s able to play more games, and that’s what he’s planning his summer around. The Wild have hinted that he didn’t arrive at training camp last fall in the best shape.
>Nyquist, a deadline addition, had nine points in 10 games for the Wild (postseason included) after recovering from a shoulder injury. He’s 33 years old, coming off a four-year, $5.5 million AAV deal, so it’ll be interesting what the Swede is looking for. “I really liked my time here and, again, a great group of guys,” Nyquist said. “Only positive stuff.”
>• Alex Goligoski and Calen Addison were requested Monday but were not available. Their futures with the team are up in the air. Goligoski, 37, is not expected to retire, but after being scratched much of the regular season and all of the playoffs, he may be willing to accept a trade if he’s not in the future plans. That would free up $2 million if the Wild can find a taker and don’t retain salary. Addison, 23, was scratched regularly down the stretch and for all six playoff games, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the Wild explored trading him around the draft.
Reaves kinda confirmed it, they got way too in their heads about the refs. Dean was way too I’m his bag about it, too, and that undoubtedly rubbed off on the rest of the team.
They looked far less disciplined than they should have been, just like last year. That’s on the coaching staff and the captains to fix.
