I’m thinking Dean won’t be around too much longer with the way this team is performing. Also Johansson. Played amazing in a few games last season to secure a contract, and then just utterly stopped playing hockey. Guy still has not won a puck battle this season. He has been completely devoid of value thus far. Other than speed I think he has no merit whatsoever.

Might be time to come to terms with the last two years post-buy outs was just a bit of luck and players playing beyond their abilities. I'm grateful for the last two seasons, but this is probably a more realistic outcome. Hopefully I'm overreacting and the Wild will go on one of their mid-season runs, but this is bad. Really bad. And now we have a bunch of these guys locked up as the core for the next 2-4 years.

There with you...feeling like the last two seasons were perhaps overachievements, and this season might be an underachievement. Locking up so many players before the season started is definitely a bit confusing....this season/game has been painful to watch so far. They're at least consistently inconsistent...

All of the contracts were a bit confusing, but the Moose one, was downright befuddling. Didn't deserve it in the first place and it was aging poorly before he even signed the damn thing.

100% — it would be a different story if he was the player that pushed the Wild past the first series, but that clearly didn't happen. He's #2 in hits in the NHL, but I'm not sure what the going rate is for $/hit...
