Foligno, Zuccarello and Hartman have ntc as well. The only tradeable players are the ones no one would want to trade.

Unless BG can work some magic or the players make a revival they will be another year older, another year slower.

Just good enough to make the playoffs, if healthy, and lose in the first round.

Our talent isn't as good as we think.

Khusnutdinov definitely needs players that fit him better. Gaudreau can't keep up. 

But I don't know if they can afford to bring anyone else in?

I don't know how much cap space they have left.

Well the Wild did play well enough to be on pace for a #13 draft pick. Hip Hip Hooray #13.

Watching this game does not instill a lot of hope for next year,  when everyone will be another year older.

Faber, Rossi, Khusnutdinov and Chisolm yes, everyone else, not so much.

Another good shift by the 4th line,  that doesn't get ice time.

right handed and 6 years younger and 6'2 ...

Hopefully they can get that guy from the Gustavsson trade.

That play with Zuccarello and Kaprizov behind the net would work better if Zuccarello was right handed. 

And sadly now there can be but one outcome. 

The NHL really needs to figure their refing issues out

If they have thoughts on keeping Fleury I hope he plays well enough to garner a good trade.

Thank God we have a 4th line that plays north south and are willing to shoot.

as of today our draft spot is 15th   

They gave up on a good draft pick a dozen games for ago.

What I don't get is you'll hear Hynes and the other coaches say they're being too pretty and passing up shooting opps.
But they're the one's who design the plays and coach them to do just that. 

Or do the players just do what they want? 

There's no repercussions for how they play,  unless you're on the 4th line.

And the 4th line has never been the problem with this team.

Bogosian out, Goligoski in. WTF and I don't mean Wild Turkey Federation. 

I guess they have no thoughts of signing Mermis after the season. 

Not that Mermis is great, but I thought he outplayed Merrill and Goligoski.

The top lines were trying to be way too fancy with the puck;

the inability of the penalty kill to understand why they can't allow the cross-ice pass (especially from down low) is beyond frustrating.  

As I posted earlier in this thread.

Coaching,  Coaching,  Coaching. 

Why can't this team be coached?

Wild win.

Was Gaudreau even on the ice? 

Eek just will never throw hands

I must have built up immunity to Lapanta, I barely notice his stupidity anymore. 

The Wild are probably the best team in the league at making the other teams goalie look good

Chisholm looked like he had no idea what to do there.
Wasted so much time.

Coaching 

Anal-litics? Seems more like anal-likics.

How can shooting from the sides be a higher scoring percentage than shooting from the middle? 

And Boldy scores from right down the middle.
