Minnesota Wild General Discussion 2024-25

You mean 6hgrin, right? As in, top 6.

That's exactly what I meant, thank you

To be fair, Russo’s tweet had it like this:

https://x.com/i/web/status/1841550236658831788

Top 6 of

Kaprizov-Rossi-Zuccarello
Ohgren-Eriksson Ek-Boldy

Just inject all of that into my veins please.

I can also see Hartman and Boldy being centered by Rossi/JEE. Marat can center the 3rd line, while Marjo drops down to the 4th. Don't know where that leaves OofGrin, but if he is going to be any good he'll fight through things. Just no more Mojo in the top 6.

I'd say Ohgren, Hunt and Wallstedt will go to the minors, they all need to play.

I did expect Ohgren to make the team this year, but that changed when they signed Lauko and he's doing well. They want more grit, can't see any prospect with this element.

Jones 13th forward and Merrill 7th D.

That's how I would have wanted to interpret the tweet as well, but sounds like it's Boldy and |hgren taking turns playing on the same line.

Matt Boldy took part in his first full practice since getting hurt on Sept. 21 and cycled in and out of his normal second-line right-wing spot with Liam Öhgren. If Boldy responds well after Thursday’s practice, he may play his first exhibition game in Friday’s preseason finale in Chicago.

[BagHead]

just how many passes does Johansson get because he had a nice 25 game stretch with Boldy two seasons ago?

A 25 game stretch is roughly how many months, again?

 

[Blue Ox]

I'd rather have Uruk-haihgren than MarJo.

*Fingers crossed

Well that’s unfortunate. I’m really hoping -hgren gets a shot to start.

So hgren plays in Boldy's spot tomorrow, one last chance to be better than Johansson, though it seems like he'll be in Iowa regardless when Boldy returns, seems like they're set on Johansson starting in that spot.

Meh. Maybe he'll be fine. I'll start to get annoyed if they hold him there while he's doing nothing.

It also seems to me that Öhgren hasn't really taken the spot from him yet either, but I've watched minimal preseason so I don't have the best insight

I think he has raised my expectations as he got some sneaky hands and creativity to his game. So thats good.

On the other hand, the key thing he needs to work on his consistency. Outside his flashes of potential, he looks like he is still processing the NA game and speed, and bit too much thinking.

Like how Rossi was his first stint, showed flashes of potential but need to refine his game so he can make an offensive impact everytime he gets on the ice. Otherwise he'll end up as an fine 3rd line role player which we want to avoid.
