Sam Verified Member Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago He’s only 21 and is playing with some nerves probably. I think he’s playing pretty good, and hopefully can replace a guy like Merrill who still makes rookie mistakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pewterschmidt Verified Member Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I did not see a future nhl’r in peart. But P-train he’s young…he’s 21 so if he’s gonna make it he should show some promise and he’s small. I’d predict Lambos gets more nhl toi, and this sports fan is not expecting much nhl toi from that over hyped prospect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnt Toast Verified Member Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Wild are desperate to see a player drafted in the second round by Judd to hit. Other teams are finding gems. Logan Stankoven comes to mind as a 21 year old making a strong showing for, yes, your Dallas Stars. Brock Faber was drafted by the Kings so second rounders are definitely in play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Faber was drafted by the Kings so second rounders are definitely in play. Why would they be desperate? Players typically take a couple years to develop. It's probably unlikely to expect a 2nd rounder from anything more recent than 2021 and of those selections, Khusnutdinov is playing in the NHL. I don't see him ever being more than bottom 6, but it's still an NHL player. Many 2nd rounders never even make the NHL, and it seems likely that a couple of those players will become NHL players after they develop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago What they are desperate for is more "high end" depth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m desperate to see the Wild break out of this mid tier funk. I can see it’s possible but only if the prospects coming through the system break out ala Logan Stankoven. Knus hopefully will be one of those guys this year, but I haven’t seen it yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can be up around a point per game by the end of the season. Have to like that faceoff %. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imyourhuckleberry Verified Member Posted 28 minutes ago Share Posted 28 minutes ago Was looking for an article here related to Spurgeon's triumphant return to NHL ice, but I found an interview to share instead. https://www.nhl.com/wild/video/spurgeon-postgame-vs-chi-10-1-6362740497112 Boldy and Middleton getting back to practice today as well!

Liiga's website doesn't show FOW% but gametracker shows he is around 50% although looks like a couple games he was out on the wing. He's a wildcard prospect for me, has good size but hopefully he actually comes over to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
