Yakov Trenin

Yakov Vyacheslavovich Trenin (; born 13 January 1997) is a Russian professional ice hockey player who is a forward for the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career Trenin was drafted 55th overall by the Nashville Predators in the 2015 NHL entry draft and attended their development camp that summer. After the draft, Predators' North American amateur scout Jean-Philippe Glaude said: "He's a big center, who plays a solid two-way game...I see him as a complete, top-two center that can put points on the board and the coaches will love to have because he can play in any situation." In July 2015, Trenin signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Predators. After signing the contract, Trenin was re-assigned to the Gatineau Olympiques of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) out of training camp.

Trenin recorded his first career NHL goal on 7 December 2019, in a 6–4 win over the New Jersey Devils, becoming the 184th player in franchise history to score a goal.

On 7 March 2024, Trenin was traded from Nashville to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Jeremy Hanzel and a third-round pick in the 2024 NHL entry draft. Trenin played out the remainder of the regular season by centering the Avalanche's fourth-line and contributing with 3 points through 16 games. He helped the Avalanche reach the second round of the playoffs, adding 1 goal through 10 appearances, before suffering elimination by the Dallas Stars.

As a free agent after his contract with the Avalanche, Trenin was signed to a four-year, $14 million contract in joining his third Central Division club, the Minnesota Wild, on 1 July 2024.
