Minnesota Wild General Discussion 2024-25

[f7ben]

I guess it depends what the cap is going to

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

What’s Rossi getting?

Let's say $5M on a bridge and $8M long-term.

That seems dangerous , I think locking him in right now is wise

 

[Digitalbooya]

Let's say $5M on a bridge and $8M long-term.

Oof. That is certainly approaching uncomfortable status for me at least. That's a higher cap percentage than Boldy's long term deal even if the cap goes up to the projected $92.5M.

Can we say that Rossi has more impact than Boldy?

Honesty, I think that they'll avoid going long-term with him anyway, unless they get a great deal on it (like the Eriksson Ek contract). But if he ends up at what he's pacing for, do you think he should get less than Jarvis?

For now, yes. I don’t want this to sound like I’m dissing Rossi, but I don’t expect Kaprizov to keep up his current 2.1 points per game pace.

 

[f7ben]

Rossi at 6.5 for 8 years and I’d sign it

 

[GordieGallant]

I think they’ll look to upgrade Mojo at the deadline assuming we’re still playing well

I don’t think they wait that long. Trade him. Watching his feeble attempts at zone entries on the PP last night and drive bys along the boards made me wonder if 22 or Ohgren would be a better fit for that line. Ek was great last night.

Johansson has NTC, can't trade him unless he agrees to it.

 

[GordieGallant]

Was at my first Wild game this year amazing how long the line was to take a piss. Had to be 50 feet outside of the shitter. I mean you stand in line to get a beer and then get two and miss the beginning of the period to drain the lizard.
Maybe miss 1/3 of the game.

I told a hot looking gal at the popcorn stand these guys need to switch to bourbon. She got a kick out of that.

A little time on the 4th line might change his mind.

 

[Digitalbooya]

A little time on the 4th line might change his mind.

Why would that change his mind? He gets paid the same to do less work. That might be heaven for him.

 

[GordieGallant]

Yea he is all about less work. He will be hurt in a week anyway. Strained uterus probably.

 

[57special]

Don't look now, but we are 2nd in the league is Point %. WPG is in 1st.

Weird.

If we take care of business tomorrow, we have 3 extremely winnable games in CHI, SJS & ANA to round out the week. No reason we shouldn’t get 6/8 possible points

Very true, but those winnable games can be tricky sometimes. We just need to keep the foot on the gas.....and work on getting the penalty kill better.

Then again, their only regulation loss is to a bottom feeder (Flyers) and they dropped a game to a sub .500 point percentage team (Seattle)

And to balance it out, the 3rd loss is to the only team with better point percentage (Winnipeg)

 

[Nsjohnson]

Gus is 1st in GAA and 3rd in Sv%.

LA is playing Nashville tonight as well. Two games in a row facing a team in a B2B with travel.
