Article: Do the Wild Have the Makeup Of A Bona Fide Contender?


Recommended Posts

The sooner Mojo is traded, the sooner that possibility becomes reality.  How Boldy is second in the team in points when Ek has tapered off and Mojo has provided nothing is beyond me.  For all the whinging about whether Rossi fits that top line, think what Boldy's dealing with...

It’s far too early to determine what the Wild are. In years past, this team has been given the title of a sleeper or darkhorse but has bowed out of the first round because of the lack of depth. 
 

Is this year different? Maybe, but likely not. I like how the team has played but I think come playoff time, a team like Dallas or Winnipeg (if they acquire a second line center) is just too much for this team. If we shore up the top 6 so mojo isn’t there anymore, we look great. If our bottom 6 is able to produce more offense, or we acquire a depth scorer, maybe we can compete. Our D is good, but I think we are still missing a piece to put us over the top. And if Brodin’s and Spurge’s health don’t hold up, that group looks really shaky. 
 

All this to say, I want to believe we are a contender, but I think we are a few pieces away from truly being there. We have the grit and some skill, just don’t know if it’s enough.
