## Resource

The Anaheim Ducks and Minnesota Wild are gearing up for challenging offseasons, with key player negotiations and potential trades on the horizon. The Ducks GM, Pat Verbeek, must decide whether to re-sign young stars Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier, while also managing salary cap constraints. Meanwhile, the Wilds GM, Bill Guerin, is exploring options to bolster his teams center position, potentially targeting high-profile players also of interest to the Ducks. However, the Wild may face stiff competition and high asking prices. On a positive note, one of the Wilds star defensemen is open to extending his stay, but this could come at a significant cost.
