Minnesota Wild General Discussion 2024-25

[DigitalBoldy]

What’s the concern level for Ohgren right now? Ideally, he would be developing in the AHL on the top line/PP/PK. Playing 11 minutes a night at the NHL level isn’t great for his development IMO. Either need to move him up the lineup or send him down to Iowa.

Playing with Gaudreau and Johansson on 2nd line doesnt really do much for him though either. Kind of a no win situation with all injuries, you dont want to send him down at this point either due to the roster we are icing

Mildly concerned. Have suspicions that he just isn't going to be vg, unless he goes through a Rossi like metamorphisis and comes back on fire next fall. right now he looks meh, but he is still yoiung, and trying to figure out how to make his mark in the league.
I don't see any major weakness in his game, such as skating, strength, or puck handling, and his shot is good when he uses it.

Don't mind ohgren getting some nhl games right now but needs a little more time. Maybe next year or the year after he forces his way onto the team.

He’s got brick hands. I’d say that is a clear weakness. Thats not to say he won’t be a player, but he definitely lacks in the puck handling department IMO

Sounds like the good ol hockey IQ thing.

Offensively speaking, he's roughly on the JEE development path. I doubt he'll ever be as good defensively, but most aren't. If he finds a disruptive game within him, he'll get plenty of NHL time. For the time being, I'm not concerned about his development or usage.

Not sure if this has been posted, but here's your GM looking like a fan at a bar.

 

[Sweetnut]

Since january 20 Wild has played 13 games. In all those games Zuke has scored 3 points, 1+2 and is -5.
In the same time Freddy G has 9 points. 5 goals and 4 assists, with a +4 rating. Think about that for a moment and just let it sink in.
Freddy f***ing G!

Zuke has no points at all in his last 8 games.

Sounds like we've got a guy who needs elevating, and another who needs demoting. If only there were some way to know which is which.

 

[Sweetnut]

Also, in the game yesterday Stenlund was clowning the Wild players in the faceoff dot as usual with 64%.
But one other player was even better. Guess who?
Freddy G, who won 14 out of his 20 faceoffs. 70%!

He wouldn't even sniff the top line on most teams. He's damn lucky to be where he is alongside Rossi and Boldy.

It's funny how Rossi is doing fine without Kap, but Zucc is lost.

 

[DANOZ28]

i think its funny how so many wanted rossi traded , yet hes playing better than several draft picks above him. insert head shake / face palm!

Nobody really wanted Rossi traded.
