On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins to discuss the impending news that Danila Yurov will be staying in the KHL for one more year. We look at the reasons behind this decision, how it impacts Yurov's ELC when he signs it and why even if Marcus Johansson does have a bounce back year, the Wild cannot be fooled into an extension again. Yurov sets up to take Johansson's roster spot in 2025-26. We also discuss Dean Evason being in the running for the Ottawa Senators head coaching gig. We look at the other candidates and why Evason seems like a good fit. We finish by discussing the expected Declan Chisholm extension and why John Merrill's extension should be used as framework for Chisholm.
