Kansas professor weighs in on Trump's 100% foreign film tariffs
TOPEKA (KSNT) – A Washburn University media professor and film industry veteran weighs in following President Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on foreign films. The announcement made Sunday, April 4 by Trump has sent the film industry into a frenzy, with shares of Warner Bros., Disney, Netflix and more entertainment companies taking a hit early Monday morning. 27 News met with Washburn University Associate Professor of Film and Mass Media, Matthew Nyquist to understand the potential impact of these the Covid pandemic and Hollywood strikes, Nyquist said the president is correct that the film industry is in a downturn. From never-ending fighting to sanctuary, Topeka cockfighting roosters have a new lease on life The professor disagrees with the solution lying in a tariff tax, believing instead tax incentives could have the intended outcome of bringing and keeping jobs in our country. 'Wherever the tax incentives are, that's where filmmakers shoot,' Nyquist said. 'The thing that really worries me about this is that film is a huge export of the United States. It's usually around 10 billion [dollars] give or take that we take in revenue exporting our Hollywood movies to other countries.' The professor said any reciprocal tariffs countries impose on U.S. films would have a major impact on movie productions going forward. The Motion Picture Association said the film industry exports over 3X the value of imports. Volunteers bring St. Jude Dream Home 25 to life in Topeka It's still unclear at the time of writing how the tariffs will be implemented on foreign film products, whether that cost is seen at movie theaters, through streaming platforms or film production. Earlier this year a bill was introduced that would create a tax credit for film and media production within the sunflower state. It didn't get far this session, but it could get taken up again when lawmakers return in January, 2026. For more local news, click here.

Not pointless, as Wild fall in OT to Rangers
NEW YORK – 'Costly Turnover Night' was not an official entry on the Madison Square Garden promotional calendar, but that ended up being the theme of the evening anyway. In a game where both teams were fighting for vital playoff points and both team suffered from self-inflicted issues, the New York Rangers scored last, grabbing a 5-4 overtime win over the Minnesota Wild and bolstering both teams' tenuous playoff positions in the process. Advertisement Marco Rossi tied the game early in the third period but Vincent Trocheck scored early in overtime as the Wild settled for one point for the second game in a row. The Wild now move into seventh place in the Western Conference standings, tied with idle St. Louis, which has won 10 in a row. Filip Gustavsson, busy all night, finished with 34 saves for the Wild, while Marcus Johansson had a goal and two assists, but Minnesota failed to overtake idle St. Louis for the seventh spot in the Western Conference standings. The Wild sit in the eighth and final playoff spot in the west with six games to play. Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin had 20 saves for the home club, which moved into a tie for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot with the win. Advertisement The Rangers had not played since Saturday and had the fresher legs early, testing Gustavsson repeatedly with 11 of the game's first 12 shots. New York also took the game's first penalty, and with the Wild using their five forwards man advantage unit, a Rangers turnover found Marcus Johansson unobstructed with the puck. He fed Nyquist at the side of the net, also uncovered, and Nyquist popped a low shot past Shesterkin on the stick side. For Nyquist, it was his first goal since being traded to the Wild in early March. He had last scored for the Predators on Jan. 25. The Wild's lead went away when Gustavsson made a stick save on a long-range shot by Urho Vaakanainen, only to have Rangers defenseman Braden Schneider fire the rebound home. But the visitors answered barely two minutes later via Faber's eighth goal of the season, on a shot from the blue line that beat the New York goalie between the knees. Minnesota was out-shot 18-7 in the opening period but emerged with the lead. But the Rangers' shooting gallery continued unabated in the middle frame, with Minnetonka native K'Andre Miller tying the game for New York by sending a low angle shot off Gustavsson's right shoulder and into the top corner of the net. Advertisement After the Rangers took their first lead on a misplay in the Minnesota crease, Matt Boldy went to the penalty box for roughing and New York threatened to extend their advantage. Instead, it was the visitors taking advantage of a misplay this time, and Johansson's wrist shot beat Shesterkin for Minnesota's first shorthanded goal of the season. What looked like a Mats Zuccarello goal that would've given Minnesota a 4-3 lead was reviewed and negated due to goalie interference, with no argument from the visitors bench. Instead, the Rangers took a lead into the second intermission when the puck slipped away from Marco Rossi at the blue line, springing Artemi Panarin on a breakaway, and ending with Panarin's team-leading 34th goal of the season. But the opening shift of the third period saw Miller cough up a puck in the defensive zone, and Boldy pounced, feeding Rossi to tie the game once again. Minnesota killed a brief 5-on-3 Rangers power play to keep the game tied in the latter half of the third. Wild defenseman Declan Chisholm, who had been out of the lineup for five of the last six games, initially due to injury, returned on Wednesday, taking the place of Jon Merrill in the lineup. Chisholm caught up to Rangers star Mika Zibanejad on a first period rush to the net and swatted the puck away. Advertisement The Wild's three-game East Coast road trip concludes on Friday with a visit to UBS Arena on Long Island, where the New York Islanders await. The Wild beat the Islanders 6-3 on Feb. 8 in St. Paul. Game time is 6:30 p.m. CT. Related Articles

What I'm hearing about the Wild's interest in Brock Nelson and trade deadline plans
The Athletic has live coverage of the 2025 NHL trade deadline. VANCOUVER — With Friday's 2 p.m. CT trade deadline a little more than 24 hours away, there's a good bet you won't have to stay pressed to your phone to see what the Minnesota Wild are up to like you did the past two deadlines. In 2023, relatively good health throughout the season plus the ability to shed cap space at the start of the season by trading Dmitry Kulikov and losing Tyson Jost via waivers allowed the Wild to 'buy' in advance of and at the deadline, adding Gustav Nyquist, Marcus Johansson, John Klingberg and Oskar Sundqvist. Advertisement In 2024, amid a season wrought with poor health and goaltending, the Wild knew they'd be playoff outsiders for only the second time since 2012 and went into 'sell' mode, dealing Brandon Duhaime, Connor Dewar and Pat Maroon in advance of and at the deadline. This time? After re-acquiring Nyquist and plucking Vinnie Hinostroza off waivers, general manager Bill Guerin would love to further help a team that has overcome immense adversity this season and appears destined to return to the playoffs. But the Wild's early season hope to accrue cap space lasted about two games when injuries hit Jared Spurgeon and Joel Eriksson Ek, then Johansson, signaling a never-ending list of injuries in the months since. In the cases of Eriksson Ek and Jonas Brodin, they've been on the shelf several times and are again week to week, while star Kirill Kaprizov has missed every game but three since Dec. 23. On Dec. 12, when Jake Middleton blocked an Evan Bouchard shot with his hand on his first shift against the Edmonton Oilers, the Wild's accrual strategy was destroyed. To consistently field a playable roster from that juncture on, the Wild have had no choice but to place, in a row, Middleton, Spurgeon, Jakub Lauko, Brodin and now Kaprizov on long-term injured reserve. That has left the Wild with effectively zero cap space at the deadline if Guerin is continuing to operate as if Kaprizov, Eriksson Ek and Brodin will be back at some point in the regular season's final 20 games. GO DEEPER Wild insider: Bill Guerin on Nyquist trade, Khusnutdinov demotion and trade deadline plan Things are so tight that even with the Predators retaining half of Nyquist's remaining cap hit, Marat Khusnutdinov and Liam Ohgren had to lose their gigs in the NHL. Nyquist needed Ohgren's roster spot, and in order for the Wild to be cap compliant if Kaprizov returns in the regular season, Khusnutdinov needed to be reassigned for the first time in his NHL career. Advertisement So with the deadline fast approaching, here's what we're hearing: As of Thursday midday, teams were still awaiting clarity from New York Islanders boss Lou Lamoriello on whether Nelson is even available. The Islanders are only four points out of a playoff spot, although they'd have to leap five teams to get into the East's top eight. But Lamoriello loves Nelson. He appears to be ready to go down to the wire trying to extend his deal, and even if he can't, Lamoriello has a history of letting pending free agents walk for nothing. As we just laid out, it's hard to fathom how the Wild could squeeze Nelson under the cap even if Lamoriello makes him available. GO DEEPER Islanders continue to negotiate with top trade targets Brock Nelson, Kyle Palmieri as deadline closes in However, this, again, is only if nothing has changed this week and Guerin still considers Kaprizov, Eriksson Ek and Brodin possibilities to return this regular season. Guerin may say he expects Kaprizov back by the end of the regular season, but it's going to be awfully close. Just do the math. As of Thursday, Kaprizov still hasn't started skating, and it sounds like he's not going to until the final week of March when the Wild have 10 to 12 games left. The Wild have seven games in April to close out the regular season with very few practices on the schedule. But Kaprizov would need a lot of skates to get back into game shape, rediscover his hands and legs in game-like situations and test his surgically repaired injury to even see if he can return. Do the Wild change their minds in the next 24 hours and hold him out until the playoffs? As of now, there has been no indication they plan to. Eriksson Ek is also dealing with a broken bone in his leg. The Wild aren't sure when it occurred, with coach John Hynes saying there was no 'incident' and it may be a 'usage injury.' 'He came back from the 4 Nations, he was fine, he practiced, he played (against Detroit),' Hynes said. Advertisement Eriksson Ek then practiced after playing the Red Wings, came off the ice and could barely walk. So his return date is also up in the air, as is Brodin's. The veteran defenseman had just come back from a broken foot when he got hurt last week against the Colorado Avalanche blocking Martin Necas' shot. If the Wild have determined any of these players won't return until the playoffs, that could change the calculus on everything Friday. They would suddenly be swimming in cap space and could theoretically go after Nelson, Brock Boeser and/or anybody else they think could provide a boost. The big question is whether they'd want to give up the assets even if this was the case. Remember, for four years, the owner, the players, the coaches, the management, the account executives tasked with selling tickets and especially the fans and beat writers have waited patiently for the painful Zach Parise-Ryan Suter buyout hits to mostly come off the books. On July 1, we'll finally never have to use the term '$14.7 million in dead cap space' again. Several teams are believed to be pursuing Nelson, including the Winnipeg Jets, Dallas Stars, Colorado Avalanche, Vegas Golden Knights, New Jersey Devils and Toronto Maple Leafs. This could up the price dramatically, and the Wild no longer have their 2025 first-round pick — and Guerin said Sunday, 'I'd rather not' and 'I don't think I will' trade their 2026 first-round pick. So if that remains the case, in order for the Wild to compete with the packages others are putting forth for Nelson, they'd probably have to trade a prospect or two. That makes little sense for a player the Wild would likely try to sign July 1. For four years, everybody's waited for this summer, so Guerin would probably prefer to not trade away a bunch of assets now and instead have an arsenal of assets at his disposal if he wants to make trades in the offseason. Advertisement So, in other words, even if things have changed and the Wild start acting Friday like they think one of their three injured players won't be back until the playoffs, it may make sense to go after more reasonable options in terms of assets. The risk with waiting on Nelson until summer, though? If a contender trades for him, he could be enticed to re-sign there. Nelson will be 34 in October. As intrigued as he may be by the idea of finishing his career at home in Minnesota, he also wants to end his career on a perennial contender and any team that acquires him could probably provide that over the term of his next and possibly last deal. If Guerin is operating like he said he was last weekend — with little flexibility because nobody will end up on LTIR to end the season — a dollar-in, dollar-out trade will be difficult, too. With Brodin hurt, it's hard to see trading pending restricted free agent Declan Chisholm ($1 million), who's playing on the second pair right now, pending unrestricted free agent Jon Merrill ($1.2 million) or Zach Bogosian (one year left at $1.25 million). Any trade of a defenseman would require one coming back in some capacity. And up front, there's not much that can be done. With Eriksson Ek hurt, Guerin is not about to trade Freddy Gaudreau, who has quietly scored 14 goals and is playing his best hockey of the season. Plus, he has a 15-team no-trade clause. That'd be more of a summer type trade. And most everybody else either has complete no-trade (Johansson) or no-move (Ryan Hartman, etc.) protection or are players Guerin would never trade. One player who could potentially move is Lauko, a pending RFA who makes only $787,500. With his hip and groin issues, it's hard to see the Wild re-signing him after the season. However, if he's able to play the rest of the season, he's quite handy and is the type of fast, physical player who could contribute in the playoffs. Advertisement Pending UFA Devin Shore, who makes the league minimum $775,000 and will play his 40th game Friday against the Canucks, is also somebody Guerin has liked and may be in line for a one- or two-year extension this summer. Other than that, there are not many options, although perhaps we see some AHL Iowa players moved like David Spacek, who fell down the right-shot depth chart when Minnesota acquired David Jiricek from Columbus. It'll also be interesting to watch if the Wild are willing to trade Khusnutdinov if they can recoup some draft capital. There's a lot of factors as to whether he can come up until the playoffs even if the Wild traded a player off their roster like Lauko. One reason is the Wild want to save cap space to sign Zeev Buium when his sophomore season at University of Denver ends. No Wild player is expected to have his contract extended by Friday. The Wild and Marco Rossi's agent talked earlier this winter, but there's nothing close and they'll likely begin talking again after the playoffs to see if a deal can be struck for the pending RFA. Rossi, 23, has scored 21 goals and 51 points in 62 games, and on a team that's had so many players hurt, he hasn't missed a game in each of his first two full seasons. The Wild will likely reassign and immediately recall players like Shore, Brendan Gaunce and Jiricek on Friday to make sure they can be assigned to Iowa at any point after the trade deadline. If so, that would count as three of the Wild's four non-emergency, post-deadline recalls. (Top photo of Kirill Kaprizov and Brock Nelson: Bruce Bennett / Getty Images)

Rangers trade Lindgren and Vesey to the Avalanche. Wild get Nyquist from the Predators
The Colorado Avalanche made another splash ahead of the NHL trade deadline, and the Central Division rival Minnesota Wild answered with their own addition two hours later. The Avalanche acquired defenseman Ryan Lindgren and winger Jimmy Vesey from the New York Rangers for a second- and a fourth-round pick, young forward Juuso Parssinen and veteran defenseman Calvin de Haan. They also got the rights to unsigned prospect Hank Kempf. The Rangers are retaining half of Lindgren's salary, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because the salary retention was not announced as part of the trade. The Rangers will receive the better of their own or Carolina's pick in the second round and the better of Carolina's or Vancouver's in the fourth round of the draft later this year, the person said. Minnesota got pending free agent winger Gustav Nyquist from Nashville for a 2026 second-round pick. The Predators are retaining half of Nyquist's salary after scratching him from their game at the New York Islanders for trade-related reasons because the wheels were already in motion for the Wild to acquire Nyquist before the deadline for the second time in three years. 'They're getting a real good player, real good,' Predators coach Andrew Brunette said. 'He's a smart player, versatile, can play any role on your team. They're getting one of the best teammates you'll ever find and one of the best people. So they're lucky to get him, and hopefully he plays up to what he can bring.' The Avalanche trade was their second big one of the season. They sent top-line forward Mikko Rantanen to the Hurricanes in late January, getting a younger player back in return in Martin Necas, and it's possible general Chris MacFarland is not done making moves before the deadline. New York, which will be without No. 1 defenseman Adam Fox for some time because of an upper-body injury , is four points back of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Moving on from Lindgren and Vesey does not mean the Rangers are giving up on the season but did not want to lose them for nothing this summer. They had been interested in Parssinen, 24, for some time. He could fill the depth role vacated by fellow Finn Kaapo Kakko, who was traded to Seattle in December. Lindgren, 27, has struggled this season, but he gives Colorado some left-handed-shooting depth on the blue line in an attempt to make another long playoff run this spring. Vesey, 31, did not get as much playing time as he would have liked in New York, skating under 10 minutes a game, and could get a bigger opportunity with the Avalanche. ___ AP freelance writer Scott Charles in New York contributed. ___ AP NHL:

Predators trade Gustav Nyquist to Wild in exchange for 2026 draft pick
The Athletic has live coverage of the 2025 NHL trade deadline. The Minnesota Wild acquired forward Gustav Nyquist from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a 2026 second-round draft pick, the two sides announced Saturday. The Predators are retaining half of Nyquist's $3.185 million cap hit. Nyquist is No. 17 on The Athletic's latest trade board ahead of the March 7 NHL trade deadline. Advertisement After posting a career-high 75 points last season, the 35-year-old NHL veteran has seen a dip in production with 21 points in 57 games this season. He's a pending unrestricted free agent. A fourth-round pick of the Detroit Red Wings in 2008, Nyquist spent parts of eight seasons in Detroit before stints with the San Jose Sharks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Minnesota Wild and Nashville Predators, where he's played the past two seasons. Over 841 career NHL games in 13 seasons, the Swedish forward has 524 points. This story will be updated.
