Chance for MN to get back in the win column or inch closer to a top draft position.

Will Granlund,Addison, Big Kahk, or Sturm put the screws to the WIld??? 😁

Luke Kunin too. 

And to think the league plans to expand.  There’ll be 10-12 awful teams playing to empty arenas

That's right, a MN 1st round pick 15th overall. Didn't select DeBrincat, Tage Thompson or Kyrou both selected by the Blues that year, and Adam Fox too. MN had no 2nd or 3rd rounder. That year the Fletcher team selected Kunin, Duhaime, Sokolov, and Chizen... (Inject sad trombone noise.)

Just looked and Sturm is 80% on draws tonight against the Wild. Another guy MN traded and didn't wanna sign for 2M. He's nearly 60% on draws this season and was putting up more offense in MN on a line with Bjugstad. One of those deals where Guerin kinda under-valued certain things that were important to the team. It didn't hurt right out of the gate, but looking back and who filled those roles later makes ya wonder.

The first 25 minutes of this game should've been enough for fans to surround Guerin and not let him leave Xcel tonight until he's promised in writing to give up his trade deadline strategy of doing whatever it takes to earn the chance to get swept in the first round.

So we did get a couple picks from the Kunin trade.  Guys who should be playing next week?

Yeah, that's a Guerin salvage effort. Fletcher didn't have a lot to be proud of from 2014-2017. Between the draft picks given away and traded, the primary guy from that period and nearly the only guy is Ek. That's cool, but Tuch, Oettinger, or a guy like Adam Fox wouldn't hurt to have in a Wild sweater.  

And #97 getting the job done. Need it against the heavy-hitter teams too.
