Still, there are still some pretty big skates waiting to be fully filled, and that is not done yet. It's tough to argue with results, though, and Chuck Fletcher's moves have most certainly shown results.
Think hard about this. Any players you're ready to swap out for those on the list? Check the update, after the jump.
Brent Burns
Martin Havlat
Havlat's scoring has all but stopped. Streaky much? Wild fans know all about this, of course. Havlat will rebound at some point. Until then, keep an eye on twitter for criticism of his ice time and linemates.
Cam Barker
Still out with his ankle surgery. Of course... they likely aren't missing much.
Out of work. No word on if he is searching for a new gig or not.
Andrew Brunette
Brunette added another goal to his totals. Hopefully that means he is about to rediscover his scoring ways and really add to his team's success. Nice to see the Hawks having so much success. We'll credit it all to Burno. It's what we do.
Yawn. Wake me up when it's over.
Still not playing. Should be interesting to see once he is.
Eric Nystrom
This guy... nine goals, two assists. The only thing that comes to mind? Good for him. It is very cool to see him succeed in Dallas. Wild fans miss him (or at least so I guess), especially those nine goals. Nine. Ridiculous.
Jose Theodore
Want to talk about ridiculous? Jose Theodore is in Florida, as a number one goalie, leading one of the top teams in the league. This from a guy who on October 1, 2010, didn't have a job. Yeah. Ponder that for a few minutes. Not that the Wild aren't seeing their normal spectacular goaltending, but Theodore is tearing it up.
What it All Means
Once again, the usual suspects continue to be the players the Wild fans miss. It sure would be nice to see Burns on the point on the Succubus power play, wouldn't it? All the while giving Scandella a Yoda to his Luke. Oh well. Guess first place in the league will just have to do for now.
