Tomdog Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I wouldn’t put a lot of stock into their projected lineups. They just put players into a spot that could happen, not necessarily where they should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most our players have a chance to play in different lines depending of their level of play during the game as well as depending of the coach decision too.

Tomdog Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Hopefully this year they will shuffle lines more so players are more comfortable switching up during injury weeks. The team needs to be more flexible about who plays with who. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team needs to be more flexible about who plays with who. I remember back in the day when Lemaire was coaching. People complained endlessly about how he was constantly switching up lines and “never let the team develop chemistry”… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icechipper Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Lemaire had no problem slotting 6-6 defenseman Alex "Hands of Stone" Henry as a fourth-line forward if he didn't think minor-leaguers were up to the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreaseAndAssist Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Remember the Wild Employee of the Month club that was the rotating captaincy? Oh those were the days! Alex Henry a captain to start the year? Yea, we can see they don't care who they give it too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomdog Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I’d pass on Kharia. Who needs the back problems with a so so player. Kessel will be too expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR Ewing Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Plus -Terrific size and willingness to be physical. -Stands up for teammates. -Decent penalty killer. Minus -Back problems and several documented concussions. -Really shy offensively. -Not a strong skater. Slow. With the injuries piling up I thought that his next deal might be a PTO, specifically from the Canucks, who might want to bring in a player of Punjabi ancestry, for the local market. Always liked him, and hope he does well in Minnesota. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllaZilla Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Well, with the signing of two “tough” guys and no one else of significance, it appears to me that the Wild have been forced into a rebuild, whether they want to admit it or not. Let the games begin… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icechipper Posted Tuesday at 09:49 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:49 PM Caleb Addison signed one year at $825,000. Gavin Hain released following prospects tournament Wild release 60-man training camp roster. Vinnie Letteri (#10) Adam Beckman (11) Jujhar Kharia (16) and Sammy Walker (18) get some new sweater numbers for call-ups..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllaZilla Posted Wednesday at 12:42 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:42 PM I'm moderately interested in this season. The Wild have never really done anything like this before (relying on youth rather than big name free agents). I'm sure there will be growing pains, but maybe the team will be better for it in the long run. What they've done in the past certainly hasn't worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandron Posted Friday at 02:56 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:56 PM I am interested in this season too, because I think, it is going to be intriguing by using more youngsters as well as more tough players like Maroon; Khaira in addition to Foligno.
