I Love Dennys show! He's laid back and really tuned in, he's got keen insight and a long history of nailing his predictions – so if he says Guentzel is coming home? You can bank on it! Yeah!
Denny, the reason I TRADE for Guenztel (in the next 2 weeks) instead of waiting for free agency is in my deal Guenztel costs the Wild $1.5M whereas in free agency he costs $9M. Carolina wanted a mid round pick for Jake's rights, which is why I oversell with a higher pick and add Spurgeon ($7.5M) to the deal. So if Jake is worth $9M, he really only costs the Wild $1.5M but if you wait for free agency, he costs his full asking price…… *Nobody Guerin brings in or re-signs is getting more than Kaprizov.
Our bottom 6 will need to be able to utilize the rush for zone entry. The Wild dump and chase game has sucked the last 2 years, they've been vulnerable to the stretch pass game (aka suck hole play). Dallas took advantage of lowsy Dump & Chase by getting their D to hit stretch passes when bad/slow teams don't get to the puck first on the dump in. This leaves teams like the Wild extremely vulnerable for stretch passes giving way too many breaks and/or odd man chances. Edmonton destroyed Dallas' stretch pass game by zone entry with possession and abandoning dump and chase. Unfortunately Dallas had become addicted to stretch pass lifestyle and when they lost that they were sunk quickly and out of the series. Wild bottom 6 are slow, undertalented and now under sized. They are not good pass players and give up turnovers inside the blue line and on D side of Center. Effective zone entry with possession doesn't cost you in wasted energy chasing. Look for elite play making and players that don't stand still like our immobile bottom 6 has been. If the Wild want to get anywhere we need bottom 6 hustle and scoring. We have yet to find any. I see the contract extensions short circuiting any meaningful acquisitions the next 2 seasons while everyone is building…the Wild will be perpetually stuck.

It makes me sick that JoJo will be on the roster and Marco Rossi might be traded
Any reason why adam beckman didn't get a chance on second line?
where are we going to be seeing the wild next season. Bally sports situation.
