THN Writers Predict Wild Alongside Hurricanes As Frontrunners For Presidents Trophy

A recent poll conducted by The Hockey News asked thirty-nine reporters and editors to weigh in on various upcoming NHL topics, including Stanley Cup contenders and end-of-season award winners. Among the results, Minnesota and Carolina tied for the top spot in projections for the Presidents Trophy, securing eight votes each.

Colorado, Florida, Edmonton, Dallas, and Tampa Bay also received mention in the polling. The publication suggested that expectations for Minnesota might be boosted by the presence of Quinn Hughes along with developing talents like Matt Boldy, Brock Faber, and Jesper Wallstedt as the team opens its schedule on Thursday.
