Minnesota Wild General Discussion 2024-25

[Prior]

I wonder how much Coyle would cost

Very minimal with how bad he’s looked this year. Not interested in seeing him back in a Wild sweater.

Agreed. Repeats NEVER work.

Russo has been pushing the idea that Rossi isn’t a part of the long term plans and even believes he could be traded in season.

And it will backfire in absolute spectacular fashion on Guerin. I look forward to it. I'm sure he wants to bring in another Trenin to make us bigger and tougher. Right, Billy?

I truly do not understand why having depth at center is a bad thing. It was our Achilles heel during our playoff runs in the 2010s. Is Rossi expecting to get $7M+ or something? Could’ve avoided that situation, going long-term on him in the offseason.

If Guerin wants a top 6 wing, maybe we shouldn’t have burned $3.5M on a 4th liner.

the reason i call mojo a big mistake is we had him before and knew exactly what we were buying, retread!

Good win.

The 13-3-3 record aside, did anyone expect this?

Honestly, thinking about this - it doesn't surprise me. One of the biggest criticisms of Hynes is his usage of young players. That's why the Predators lost Tolvanen and I think there were some issues with Hynes and Hughes. As long as Hynes is here - well he's got to single out one young player. I wouldn't be surprised if Hynes is the driving reason behind why the team isn't 100% behind Rossi.

No. Honestly this season reminds me pretty much of last season. The only difference is the goaltending: The Skaters are almost the same (+Spurgs and a few plugs) as last year. But Gus is having a bounce back year so far. Thats the difference between a Playoff team we are at the moment and a bottom 10 team in the league we were last season.

Just imagine what would be possible this year if they could get a good coach and another good winger for the top 6 instead of MaJo......

The difference is also Kaprizov appears to be fully healthy (remember he was still having issues at the beginning of last season), both Rossi and Faber have a season under their belt and we're not running AHL players for depth (Letteri, Lucchini vs Lauko/Khus is a major upgrade).
