It's not always just the goalie! At one point last year we had 7 of our starters injured! Goaltending is 80% based on how the team defends in front of him......IMHO
I’ve heard smth like “If Minnesota can’t make it at least to the playoffs, Kaprizov may leave this team” Because next year is a contract year for Kirill, and even if Minnesota will be able to give him a 14mil contract, Will he stay in a non contender?
Well, this is the last year of our $14.7 M in Dead Cap......and we have Yurov coming over potentially at the end of the year. We've got a pretty good pipeline of prospects that'll be ready.......Kaprizov knows this. Prospects in the wings: Buium, Wallstedt, Haight, Heidt, Hunt, Lorenz, Kumpulianen, Pionk, Stramel. If you consider how we're playing while suffering that dead cap penalty.......think what will happen going forward. The Wild are on the rise!
@14.7 + looking forward for one more salary cap extension. Kaprizov just entering his prime, so I hope that Minnesota will be able to build a “cup” team next 4-5 seasons. +Not a “true” Wilds fan, just because I’m Russian😄, but I want to see Spurgeon and Kirill with a cup. And what do you think, will Kaprizov be the next captain, after Spurgeon retires?
I would have Johansen and Lauko trade spots. EK and Boldy need a guy with a work ethic. I'd leave line 1 where its at.
I've been thinking that for the last couple of years the wild were a good top 6 forward away from being a serious contender.
They need talent, somebody like Fiala was. KK doing all what he can now😑
Gus Gus is the #1 difference for our team & helping our leader Kaprisov.
