Article: How Would Brock Nelson Fit In Minnesota?


Recommended Posts

Well. Nelson could be insurance for an injury to Ek which happens a lot now. 

He could win draws which MN is dismal related to face-offs. 

He can skate, play defense, and join the PP. Top line with #97 or driving L2 without NoJo would be great and give him Zuccy, Boldy, or Hartman who can score or make plays. 

He might even take a team friendly deal to be in MN.

If they give up anything for this guy it would be a waste of assets.  Where exactly would you play him?  Top line?  Nope that has Rossi on it right now.  Putting Nelson between Kaprizov and Boldy would be not an advantage.  Second line?  Ek has that taken care of.  Third line?  I have a feeling he would be taken advantage of by the other teams top line continuously.  We already have one of those players in John Merrill.  Fourth Line?  Can he even get to a player to check?

Just because he is from Minnesota doesn't mean the Wild owe him anything.  This fanbase needs to realize in order to win a Stanly Cup we need good players not just players from Minnesota.
