Start of a rebuild with a top pick.

They are most likely going to get a top pick, but the spot isn't guaranteed, so why not play hard and let the chips fall where they may.

I have to believe Guerin will pull the trigger on Boudreau soon.  

Will that clear out $20 million in cap space for a retrofit? 

The only "out" of this for the Wild is a buy-out or two or three, or ... 

They need to be calling the cap space teams and doing a trade, for example: Suter, a 2021 second round pick, and Wild retain half of Suter's salary for a used puck bag and a coach's whistle missing the pea*.

 

 

*If you want the whistle with the pea that's a 2021 first round pick (instead of the second round pick). ;):D

Babcock had talent unlike BB

The issue isn't the coach it's the roster.  Name one player that would crack the top 6 in the Caps line-up.

Would I trade Jason Zucker for Lars Eller .... hmmm ... 

Nope.

Compare records (regular season and playoffs) Babs v Hakstol on the day Hak was released by PHI. (Hint: One is still in TOR today.) 

MIN fans are due ... but a coach can't fix that roster.

After the Devils tied the game on two occasions, Ryan Suter (1-1—2) registered the go-ahead goal in the third period and 23-year-old Kaapo Kahkonen (32 saves) earned his first NHL win to help the Wild extend their point streak to seven games (4-0-3).

* Kahkonen appeared in his first NHL game after posting a 7-2-1 record with the American Hockey League’s Iowa Wild this season (2.47 GAA, .909 SV%, 2 SO). Matt Hackett (34 saves on Dec. 6, 2011) is the only other goaltender in franchise history to win in his NHL debut after making 30 or more saves.

* The 2019-20 season marked the second time in as many campaigns that Minnesota has strung together a point streak of at least seven games, after producing a 6-0-2 run from Feb. 21 – March 7, 2019. The longest such stretch in franchise history is 13 contests (12-0-1 from Dec. 2-29, 2016).

Suter needed to do something after he totally lost his guy in OT and let the Rangers forward walk in on Stalock for the game winner a couple nights ago.  Looked like he was on the pleasure rink having a nice leisurely time.

Why he is on the ice to start any overtime is beyond me

Wild are now 7-0-2 in their last 9 after beating Tampa Bay last night 5-4. They will come back to earth eventually but in the meantime I’m enjoying some pretty damn good hockey

Took it on the chin last night in Carolina but a good 10 game streak nonetheless.

What’s nice for them is they have already played half their road games

That was a complete ass kicking 

I was going to say ‘curb stomping’ but it’s pretty much the same.  This team has a long way to go be a Cup contending team...right now they are a fringe wild card team at best.

This team gets outshot most games. They struggle to score consistently. Their goaltending is bipolar at best. Other than that they're pretty good.
