I’m not sure what year we’re in, aka the 5 year plan. The coach also is encouraging steps in this direction. There’s always a chance to make a run but assuming the Wild resign KK, 2027 looks like “A very good year”. I’m basing 2027 on moves the Wild started making a couple of years ago, which I don’t really want to reiterate at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker wasn't really playing in Iowa. He had 30 games and 11 points which suggests a bottom 6 role. It gives him a fresh start which he probably needed. He's not an NHLer and probably not a tweener any more either. Last season he gave it his best shot and played really well in preseason. Then, when real games started, he just disappeared again. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah looks like they're not making playoffs but maybe they're going to give it all they got up to the trade deadline and reevaluate , could UFA Nick Bjugstad be on the Wilds mind ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a nice move if you asked me. Hopefully Bjugstad would wanna come back to MN for playoffs. He'd be an upgrade over NoJo 100% and NoJo isn't built for playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNCountryLife Verified Member Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago It sure seems that when we win the younger players step up big. I have to wonder... Is this just a learning curve for the younger players on how to bring it 82 games a year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But compared to what the future considerations might be , it could be a veteran depth piece for the playoffs. We got future considerations for both Rask and i think Kulikov and i still dont know what they turned out to be. 🎁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
