Minnesota Wild General Discussion X

[keeneyedobserver]

If Seeler plays and looks lost its not a slap in the face. Menell is an offensive right shot so they are probably looking to replace some of what Spurgeon brought.

The slap in the face may be to Belpedio who has more experience and is also a right handed powerplay eligible dman.

Wouldn't it be a slap in the face to Mennell who has 2.5 times the number of points and consistently has outscored Belpedio for two years if Belpedio gets the call up over him?

 

[TaLoN]

It'd be a real slap in the face to Seeler if Menell is brought up, though the handedness issue is real.

Seeler is in tonight. Whether he continues to be in depends on how he plays.

Is it crazy talk to suggest that Dumba and Brodin stay together, and have Soucy play with Suter? At leas that way we'd have one stable pairing, rather than screw up all the pairs.

Yes it's crazy.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I'd like to see if Suter can maybe get Dumba's offensive game going again.

the only one that can get Dumba going is Dumba

 

[57special]

Dumba has been good, but a little unlucky. He is also getting blanketed on the point...the word is most definitely out on his shot. He and and his D partner should work on a set play or two to take advantage of that.

I will say that none of us predicted, I think...that the Wild would be as bad as they were a month ago. Just because, there are enough good pieces to win games, and our defense is still a top 5 defense in the NHL.

So, this recent win and point streak is kind of what I expect- not to always be winning but to be good enough to 'maybe' make the playoffs. Maybe not.

It's a tough spot now because I had given up and was looking forward to a high draft pick, something that it doesn't look like will happen now.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

We were never as bad as our record was. It was always a goalie issue.

[BuiumSaveUs]

Speaking of predictions that nobody was making: who would’ve Thought that Brodin would be blowing Dumba away in the points department?

It’s probably the sad truth that our defense will always keep us from drafting top 10, bouncing between the 12-22 range essentially for the next 4 years at minimum. We will have to rely on either drafting luck, billy g, or lottery ball luck to get us a true star.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Or, you know, just making a good draft pick.

A lot of that is luck/BG.

 

[Al Lagoon]

At this moment in time, NHL.com has the Wild sitting in the 2nd Wild card spot in the west.

May change before the night is over, but given their start, hats off lads.

 

[57special]

Soucy got Brodin's offense going again.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

I know there are some people that will bemoan the dwindling chances of a top draft pick ... However, I'm certainly having a lot of fun watching the wild win.

There will be a great player available where we pick. Just have to find him.

Soucy is going to get Brodin traded

Already showing 2nd pair ability?

Soucy and Brodin were outstanding tonight.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Already showing 2nd pair ability?

It's the next step. He has definitely passed the 3rd pair test IMO.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Soucy is going to get Brodin traded

Or do you re-sign him so you can dangle him in front of Seattle?

 

[2Pair]

Or do you re-sign him so you can dangle him in front of Seattle?

Why would Brodin do that?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Why would Brodin do that?

Because he's a nice Swede and we're shady Americans.
