I'm just waiting for Leipold to come to the realization that the Wild are in for a rebuild. A long one.

If you have a sub for The Athletic, have a read: https://theathletic.com/1019070/2019/06/14/improving-our-nhl-projection-model-ahead-of-the-2019-20-season/ A quote if you don't: Granted, it's mostly for individual players, but I'm guessing he adapts those projections for team projections.

I predict about a 40-45% win rate, which is like 32-35 wins. But only if they play neutral zone trap. Only realistic way they're gonna win games, because we just don't have any proper finishers. And we have a slow team, which means we can't play uptempo games either.

Let's not kid ourselves, most players don't want to talk to the media anyhow. There's a reason most players have their cliché answers. Heck, I'd prefer Parise take his issues with the coach directly to the coach instead of blabbering to the media on "how it should be done".

Same kind of contract as Donato and Eek signed. Basically a "Prove it"-contract. Good and fair deal nonetheless.

Nice. Liked Guerin as a player a lot and from what I've read, he's a great personality. Hope he can steer this ship back onto a proper path.

Did you read the latest 'Down goes Brown'-article? It's pretty comical to read because it's pretty much the truth.

It was 10 times, not 10 people, but I digress. If the Wild would've scouted or atleast watched 80+ of Rasks games, like they did with Staal prior to his signing, the outcome definitely would've been different. Or it wouldn't. Hard to say really after all the reports about Fenton and his personality after his firing.

As is Bill Guerin.

So Kessel decided to join Coyotes instead of the Wild.

And he got traded just as his girlfriend was in labour. That prolly shook things up as well.

Can't get any worse than last years first round pick though!

Don't count on it

Does he? He couldn't get the puck from an 18 year old kid. https://mobile.twitter.com/aj_ranger/status/1127975096994320384?s=20

Worked well enough for Panarin. And those two are similar from what I've heard.

Oh I'm sure you will. I'm a fat, lazy bastard and ain't afraid to admit it, so I'll pass.

Is that your way of calling yourself... old?

Dear lord, did they get Moses Hightower from Police Academy? (The actor is that tall)

Also I think Fenton wants to season our goalie prospect in the minors anyway, considering that's what they did with Rinne and later on Saros in Nashville. And for the future, it's better for him to play as much as possible rather than having him as a benchwarmer in the big club. Now, in the event that Dubs or Stalock gets injured for a few of games, then it might be a good idea to bring him up to test him in one or two games. But if it's long-term injury either one suffers, then I'd say they should bring up Hammond as backup. The more a goalie plays at that age KK is, the better he becomes.

Oh gods, don't torture them!

Good luck! You're gonna need it... Oh, and if you haven't already, shave your heads. It'll be better than having patches after ripping your hair off because of Chuckies shenanigans,

Temper the expectations, he's a good goalie but still young. Goalies takes the longest to fully blossom because they need the mind trained properly. We recently had a headcase, don't want another one. Besides, he needs to beat the 3 other goalies consistently first. Maybe in a year or two.

Ahoy, Chucky. Good to see you again.

Took you long enough.

Welcome to the new joint FC.
