An interesting stat I noticed:
After 59 games this year MN:
-184 times on the PP with 43 goals. 23.4% pp%
The last 59 games of last season:
-184 times on the PP with 43 goals. 23.4 pp%
59 games into the 19-20 season:
-184 times on the PP with 40g , 21.7%

23 games left, but few meaningful ones (+.500 teams) against teams that can make point standings for the Playoffs.
Central:
-Jets x 2 (home/away)
-Col x 1 (away)
-NSH x 1 (away)
Pacific (WC)
-CGY x 2 (home/away)
-VGK x 2 (home/away)
-SEA x1 (home)
That makes 9 games. I think VGK is locked into the top-3 in the Pacific, so take out 2 those games. I think NSH is sellers and going to drop out, so take out that game. So I think it's down to 6 games.
The 2 games against CGY, right after the TDL, are the biggest must win in regulation games (imo). If MN can take all 4 points and CGY gets 0 it's a big step for locking themselves into the Playoffs.

Kaprizov is now on pace for 50 goals. This team is boring, but Kaprizov chasing 50 goals is different than the boring teams of the past.

Nah. Zucc won’t be here past next season. No point in getting a t-shirt with his name on it. Might as well set $20 on fire.Want one?
Want one?
I like the shirt.
I have lots of Brewers shirts with players that haven't been there in a long time. I still wear them as undershirts, and smile when I put them on remembering their days in MKE.

Well you probably don't believe Russo, but he said the Wild will do everything in their power to keep Zucc for another 2-3 years.

Where did he say that. Because just today in his mailbag, he clearly did not say that.
Russo gave these specific numbers on his podcast with LaPanta last night:
2-3 years
$3-4M AAV
Then he went on a tangent about how he would wait to sign him to see how he plays.
Obviously, you have to wait to see how next year plays out, but he should be worth something like 2/13.5Mon the open market. The guy is a # RW …maybe not an elite one, but a damn good one who meshes perfectly with our franchise player.
Expecting him to re- up at a half that, leaving 6-7M on the table….I wouldn’t do it, in his shoes. It will probably be his last contract. Someone like Seattle or Dallas would be glad to have him.

What Russo first said to Norwegian media is that the Wild will do everything they can to keep Zuccarello. But now he thinks the Wild can wait, I think that would be a mistake.
Russo doesn't understand what's going on. Due to lack of secondary scoring Zucc as a playmaker is forced to play more aggressive to create chances. This is of course a risky game that will produce more turnovers, but Evason is fine with it, this is better than no scoring chances at all.
We've seen Zucc's market value at around $9M. Even I think that's too much, but there will for sure be takers when he becomes a UFA, offers way higher than 3-4M. Zucc will be a dangerous addition to any cup contender.
But I'm sure he'll have a chat with Guerin. Either he will accept an offer, or I see a trade next year at the TDL.

I think Russo knows more about what's going on than you do. No offense.

Believe what you want. But if Evason thinks Zucc is a problem, he wouldn't keep him on the ice against CBJ for almost half an hour...
