Keeper of a game, overall, instant gratification.  But winning does not advance the long game of acquiring a big, fast, scoring center in the draft who can help convince Kirill to stick around after his contract expires.

I was gonna get this in as an intermission rip but got sidetracked. Either way, classic blunder, puck-watching on the Mantha goal.

Great graphic.  Start writing for this site.

Isn't Yurov playing some center now?

He's 6'1", and a scorer. Just needs a contract. Bankier and Kumpulainen have good size, though may not develop top end skill.

Kaprizov will be paid rather well to stick around and play with Yurov, and the Wild might even have cap space to sign a C for them if Yurov isn't playing C.

If the Wild win their next 2 over Nashville and Anaheim, Guerin is going to be thinking playoffs at the all-star break rather than lottery, so the new guy could be a mid-round pick rather than top 10.

Remember, winning always feels better than losing.  If you want to "hope" the team loses, that's totally fine.  But hey, seeing the team succeed and beat a team pretty decisively is better than watching games like Arizona or Dallas happen.  The players aren't just going to choke because we say they should.
