I thought the Wild were supposed to be in cap hell with the jettison of Parise and Sutter but we haven't seen any regression at all. WTF
The Wild have been playing better than every team in the NHL since Feb. 17, and that includes the Boston Bruins. They are 16-1-4 with a .857 points percentage. A big reason is their production. They've been scoring without forward Kirill Kaprizov in the lineup, averaging 4.20 goals per game in 10 games without him.
Well it's definitely cost them a few players, but in one key case it's worked out in their favor. For cap and grumpy player reasons, they had to get rid of Cam Talbot in the offseason. What worked out for them is they brought in Filip Gustavsson, who has rocked this year.
Yeah, and I think he's on your fantasy team too - ha
So it did cost them some players, huh? I've always liked Minny but I'm stunned how they keep on rolling with some of the dysfunctional moves they've made over the years.
