Nice article and I like having the vids as backup/reference. Although I haven't seen Bankier play a lot, the times I have he has seemed to stand out to me. Give him the MNFan treatment over the summer and lets see where he's at next year.

We've got our Iowa guy! Thanks Neil, this is really helpful. I can't wait to see updates on Haight, Lambos, Jiricek and Spacek. Milne too for P-Dash.

I saw similar things when I saw him vs. Checkers. His goal was real nice where he drove the net, got the pass alone and deked the goalie pretty easily. 

I vote for him to get called up immediately and give him 3 games with MaRat and Lauko on the wing. Advice to him is finish all checks, cancel out your man, skate as hard as you can every shift, and don't defer, fire the puck when your chance comes. 

Right now, the Wild should be taking a long term approach to the Kaprizov injury where they start preparing for next season. I'm not saying we're bagging this season, I'm saying use the valuable time here to set up the guys who are going to make this team a contender. Bankier is one of them. Haight is another. Shore, Jones, Gaunce, Boyd are nice depth pieces but add nothing to the team. For instance, last night Shore got an assist for overskating the puck....again!!!

Opportunity comes at strange times, but you want to be ready for any opportunity as a kid. Give them the surprise callup to keep them on their toes, and every one of those kids could use a nice little financial bonus that comes with it. A week up in St. Paul pays like 10 weeks in Des Moines.

Sometimes I wonder if karma works.  Khusnutdinov and Shore both score and play great games back to back right as an article like this happens.

I don't know but I think we might have a coach
