Truthfully, a third grader could go to CapFriendly, crunch the numbers and come to that conclusion.Thanks in large part to the lingering Zach Parise and Ryan Suter buyouts — which add up to about $14.7 million in dead cap space for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 season — the Wild will be bargain hunting when free agency opens at 11 a.m. Saturday.Not exactly how general manager Bill Guerin likes to operate.“It’s torture,” Guerin said after the 2023 NHL Draft this week. “You feel kind of helpless.”Let it be known that Guerin smiled as he gave that answer. He understands that he put the Wild in this predicament when he decided to cut ties with Parise and Suter, his veteran stars, a few years ago. Regardless of how the decision has impacted the organization in the interim, Guerin doesn’t regret it for a second.“I have to kee...

Three received yearlong bans for betting on NFL games and one a six-game suspension for wagering on non-NFL games.It brings the total to 10 players disciplined over the past two years as the ...
