Re-signing MoJo is more proof the Wild organization is not serious about contending for a SC. Its a roadblock for a prospect….My guess is Leipold, after the MoJo signing, sent out a damage-control email to the season ticket holders
"Dear valued member, I can assure you…………"
*Jessi, tell Kristen I am still seething about her "Kirill is not elite" short from 2024 😂
He’s not a bottom 6 forward tho…. His game doesn’t translate to that
800k is whatever
I actually like this move. His play last year was worth about a mil, maybe a mil and a half. You got him for a year for less than that. You know who he is, you know his play, he knows the organization. 800K isn't going to have a drastic effect on the cap if his game goes to hell and he needs to be scratched for a game or two. Maybe Billy is learning…
800k isn’t shit it’s the fact he takes ice time away from someone more deserving. I for one am sick of watching his soft ass play , turnovers in the corners and cardio laps. The guy is useless someone convince me I’m wrong 😂😂😂
Hit every single talking point that I came up with in my brain, I don't understand the urgency to do this although the price is reasonable but this should have come with an expectation or conversation that said there are going to be games when you're in the press box you will play limited roles and our insurance policy but guys like Ohgren need to get that first shot
The question is, will they be willing to scratch him to give some of the younger players ice time.
Why???? ….he'll might as well extend nyquist 2 more years while your at it 😅….so far gurien 0 for 1 in off season
As long as the talking heads (experts) think its fine…Well…all is well in metiocrityville…
Now we need Nyquist and Brazeau
The Minnesota Mild have struck again.
NONE OF OUR YOUNG PLAYERS WILL WANT TO STAY HERE! WHY STAY AT A PLACE YOU DONT GET A CHANCE AND ON TOP OF IT HAVE TO PLAY AT THAT SHITHOLE DUMPSTER FIRE IN IOWA! FFS!
Are you serious? OMG!!! Guerin is an idiot.
I like MoJo. but not in a bottom 6 roll. He should not be a top 6 guy after this summer. This team desperately needs grit and speed in the bottom 6 and MoJo has zero grit. Time to move on and find some hungry younger guys willing to get their noses dirty. Brandon Duhaime type guys.
