We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
I won’t watch a single wild game again for the rest of my years of drunk Billy signs Zucc to anything more than the coaching staff. The dude is washed
So Jiricek is the next man up and things are positive and blah blah blah.
oh wait ….the Wild just made an emergency dman callup and it’s …hang on
Looks around and checks notes ….

That would be amazing. It isn't going to happen, but sure would be sweet if it did.
Dare to dream.
Also, this is gross and I hate it.
Like...a lot.

Washed? Hmm...that's weird, he's still on the top line and scores goals.
I think Guerin would be happy if he can sign Zucc for another year at 3M or so, even more so if Zucc can persuade Kap to re-sign here. If someone can do that it's him.
Since Kaprizov's last game played (Jan 26), here are the 5v5 point totals for Wild players:
Some key points:
-Zucc with the most 5v5 goals
-Faber with ZERO 5v5 points
-Gaudreau is the best bang for buck player on the team
-Trenin with as many 5v5 points as Rossi and Zuccarello in 70-110 fewer minutes
-Nyquist with 1 5v5 point in 11 games (trade was a bust)
-Dmen accounted for 2 total goals in a 21 game stretch

Didn't we score 3or 4 5v5 goals against them? That's like 20% of the total.
It's gonna be so fun to watch a .5ppg KHL player waltz onto this team and be the best offensive center we have.
When he can actually play in between injuries, you mean?
I'm excited to run yurov ek and rossi. Not to mention a back to normal Freddy and hartman in reserve. We might actually have center depth.
Yurov, Jiricek, Wallstedt are the X factors moving forward, along with 97s FA situation. Feel fairly confident Buium will be a player and that Ohgren will eventually settle in as a perennial 20G, 40P guy.
I don’t think Boeser or Nelson, etc are changing much. And I think the return for Rossi, if we move him, is poised to be extremely underwhelming.
Really could use a crease-clearer on the back-end too.

So you think a guy who is .5 P/pg in the KHL, is a recent convert to C,and has missed a lot of games due to injury, is better than a guy who scores .7 P/pg in the NHL, and doesn't miss games?
It wasn't too long ago that some on the boards were speculating that Marat would be a top 6C for us.
I think Yurov will be better than Rossi, yes. His speed, skill, shot, and size will make him a more dangerous player.
Watch the player instead of the box score.
Nelson wasn't great at the 4 nations but would still be an upgrade for us somewhere. If we can land a free agent we should try and do it. The back end seems fairly set going forward but wow do we need some scoring depth.

You think he'll be better offensively next year than a year-3 Rossi, a hopefully healthy JEE, and potentially Brock Nelson? He might, but I sure wouldn't put money on it.
It's just not the same thing at all. People need to stop with the comparison to Khusnutdinov.
I suppose you're right, afterall Marat K had a better ppg than Yurov does in the KHL.

Not particularly, but until then. I suppose we could say "Rossi/Nelson" as those may be mutually exclusive? Either way, he'd have to beat out two well established players with pretty decent offense.
