Faith in Wild's Bill Guerin, John Hynes? Season predictions? Fan survey results, Part 2

Part 2 of The Athletic’s annual Minnesota Wild fan survey turns to what comes next, including breakout hopes for young players and expectations for the 2026-27 season. Fans were asked who is most likely to break out, drawing 4,667 votes, with Joe Smith highlighting Danila Yurov’s 12 goals and 27 points in 73 games and arguing that improved faceoffs could unlock more production. Michael Russo, responding to concern over roster pipeline, noted the Wild have traded away major prospect capital after years of buyout penalties, leaving limited progress so far and complicating any trade pursuit for Dylan Larkin.
