Minnesota Wild’s injury woes hit critical mass as Danila Yurov is thrust into the top six, raising the question: Will John Hynes trust his young talent or double down on veteran minutes? Seth Toupal and Alex Micheletti size up the Wild’s struggles with 5-on-5 scoring, mounting injuries to key players like Ryan Hartman and Marco Rossi, and leadership decisions that could reshape the team’s NHL playoff hopes.
Breakdowns include Matt Boldy’s offensive surge, the unexpected impact of Marcus Johansson, and persistent roster depth issues leaving AHL-level players with heavy NHL minutes. The duo debates Bill Guerin’s search for a blockbuster trade, rookie surprises like Jesper Wallstedt and Zeev Buium, and asks whether the Wild have the guts to make a true franchise-changing move. Can Minnesota regain traction—or will recurring injuries and limited lineup solutions doom their season?

38 нужно ни когда больше не пускать в команду.
About time Yurov gets a chance , who wants to bet it will be about 3 shift experiment before Hynes loses faith in the youngster. Curious why Ben Jones has a 30 plus game rope w ZERO POINTS? Can the Drunkard or Coach explain this logic 😂😂
John will have hair before we get to round 2 in the playoffs
This is Guerin lack of plan. This team will “float” in the middle for the rest of the season. Unless major change at the decision position(s).
You can argue that it might be better to have more 12 mil vs the 1 17 mil a year.
They have all the kids playing not to make a mistake. Yurov makes a mistake tonight he'll be dropped to a bottom role. Ek will be between 97 and 36.
I hope Yurov can sieze his opportunity. We all know prospects are on a very short leash so he's gotta do "something" tonight in this spot. A big goal. A couple of assists. Something…….One of the problems many of these prospects have is they do nothing during their limited time other than skate around and try not to get scored on.
