Minnesota Wild General Discussion - 2023-24

[Minnesota]

My “oops all Fabers” roster wish is coming true.

 

[57special]

And never send him back. Please and thank you

Wait, can we actually pull him for the 9 games or whatever it is?

Well, he'd have to sign, first.

 

[Wabit]

Lol. We are gonna field a $30M team

Not quite there yet.

$40.4m active roster.
$33.1m IR/LTIR (without trying to cheat the system)
$14.7m in dead cap.

Are we having fun yet?

 

[Wabit]

Are we having fun yet?

I am, probably because I gave up on the team months ago. I've just been watching hockey to watch hockey, channel surfing between a lot of different games at intermissions or if I get bored with a game.

I definitely think Guerin should be on the hot seat after this season. He gave himself zero flexibility at the deadline and this team seems to be paddling around the lake with one oar. The only two good things this year is Hynes actually got this team to respond and the rookies have stepped up. But Guerin has given himself zero flexibility and we're going to be icing the same roster as next year.

 

[DANOZ28]

the hotter guerin's seat becomes the more stupid things gms do to protect their phoney baloney jobs , thats what worries me.

 

[Webster]

Guerin to The Athletic about all the injured players:

"No trade plans, cap space isn't there. We just have to weather the storm. This will be an opportunity for our depth guys. We'll be OK."

According to Capfriendly, we are icing a team that would have been a cap "ceiling" team back in 06-07, the second year that the cap existed. Ceiling in quotes because it's actually about $3.6 million lower than the ceiling that year.

lmao

Translation: “I can’t hurt myself, because I previously handcuffed myself!”

He didnt handcuff himself this year, with extensions this summer he may have in future years

 

[BagHead]

A silver lining, honestly.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

We have plenty of contract slots, I think the waiver wire is exactly where they should be looking, if you have to dump that player again later for the cap so be it, it’s a harsh league for those on the bubble but the org is extremely short handed at the moment and many of these guys would relish an opportunity.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Next GM is sure gonna hate these extensions.

 

[Sweetnut]

Phil Kessel is still available.
Throw him some hot dogs and lure him to Minnesota.
I bet he's still better than half our current lineup

Now we are talking!

Honestly… Might move some tickets, lol.

I'd be shocked if he's hit the ice once since he didn't get signed in free agency. He's probably 300 pounds by now.

Even better!

"......Wild are attempting to kill time in the offensive zone while Kessel makes his way back up the ice.......Avs turn them over and now have a 5-4 advantage until Kessel gets back......."

 

[Wasted Talent]

Even better!

"......Wild are attempting to kill time in the offensive zone while Kessel makes his way back up the ice.......Avs turn them over and now have a 5-4 advantage until Kessel gets back......."

There's a solid chance 300 pound Kessel would be a better skater than Maroon

 

[EazyE1]

Have the wild even had the lead for an entire game this season?

I cant think of any

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

They are nearly unbeaten when they score first.

 

[Webster]

Not happy with Walker? Raska is the forward they got in return for Addison.
He has 1 point in 27 games for Iowa...

In Guerin we trust...or do we?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Have the wild even had the lead for an entire game this season?

I cant think of any

Nobody has had a lead for an entire game in any season.

 

[Minnewildsota]

Nobody has had a lead for an entire game in any season.

Wait. Games don’t start out 1-0?
