TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Just now, wildstars95 said: a small center in this division won't cut it Maybe not, but I am also a firm believer that if you have something at peak value, and someone else wants it, you can swap it for something YOU want. I would NEVER have trusted the likes of Chuck Fletcher or Paul Fenton to do that right, but with Bill Guerin....very possible. Same way I think Kevin Fiala makes a better trade chip than player, if Rossi is somehow perceived to not be ready to center a top line in this division, you can bet someone else will (because he IS talented, like Fiala), and something good can be gotten for him. Watching GM's like Steve Yzerman gives me that kind of hope that Guerin will make the right choices if it comes to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyShelf Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 1 hour ago, ClusterChuck said: That's the worst part given who was on that team last year and go go out 1 less win. No one has shown up on offense in the past couple of games to support Kap. It is really surprising that Fiala, Boldy, EEK, Foligno, Rig, Hart, & Zucc cannot find ONE GD Goal. Fiala just cost himself a big contract next year, I think, and I would not be surprised if Dumba, Talbot, and even Spurgeon (and Bjug, Benn, etc) follow them out the door. We need $$$ for next year, and this years team (experiment) collapsed at the worst time in the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is, Bruce Boudreau was NOT a fit with the team we had when he coached here....now, the more physical, attacking Wild style, yea, that fits Boudreau better (ala his Anaheim and Washington teams). But he'd probably give the Wild the finger at this point for not having his back the first time round, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that will boost the team, but I doubt. 0:4 in playoffs is hard to tie in one period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a different beast tho. Maybe it's better to go down like this so changes are forced to happen. Instead of losing in OT or in game 7 saying we were "so close".

Rossi should be used during this regular season too instead of playing entire season in AHL and was getting injured there. In my opinion, he wasted time there. With him we would have a better scoring 4th line in a big club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither goalie should be back with Wild next year. I had been hoping that we kept Kahk and brought Wallstedt over to gain experience behind Kahkonen for 1-2 years (and to fix our Cap problem). It all just makes me more disgusted with the Parise/Suter contracts that will strangle the team from necessary changes the next few years. A bad investment is a bad investment, but when they are PUNKS too; well, that just pushes me into pure disdain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
