Article: The Oilers Provided the Blueprint For Minnesota’s Blue Line


Recommended Posts

The best organizations create opportunities for the players they can acquire. Not every player type is best available to be drafted in your slot. Not every player type is available in trade or FA. There are styles and trends but ultimately the Wild have ended up with a mix. They sure seemed excited about drafting ZB and picking up Jiri. I think the change you’re describing as a possibility for our Dcore is coming. As a fan I enjoy that style of hockey. Hopefully someone in the NHL can put together a formula for knocking off what the Panthers have going. I’d enjoy the current SC champions getting lit up.

I don’t think our defensemen are going to be the problem. Faber, Buium and Brodin will make for a very solid core. BG needs to really think about what he’s potentially getting in Boeser. A good player no doubt. But unless he signs for a hometown discount I’d be passing. He’s a career plus minus -33. He’s not known for his defense or physicality. He’s a 40 to 50 point a year player. Personally I’d rather pay Rossi. I think BG knows he needs a top line center to give Ek a break. Problem is who do you go after now that Duchene and Toews are off the market. Do we really think Tavares or Marner would sign here???
