By Bryan Reynolds -
While having too many defensemen is a great problem to have, it still presents a problem. The depth of the organization on the blue line has been shown to be true, and now that depth must be reshuffled to make everyone fit back on the roster. Players capable of contributing to the NHL team will be in Houston, and players that have been a big part of the run to the top will be benched.
The questions are - who stays and who goes? Who sits and who plays? What will the lines be?
After the jump, our very quick take on the situation.
With the return of Marco Scandella, another player will need to go to Houston. The most likely (almost certain) player to go back to Houston will be Nate Prosser. The kid has proven he belongs, and makes that first pass out of the zone, which is something the Wild desperately need right now. However, as Russo pointed out on Twitter, Prosser doesn't have to clear waivers, so hasta la vista.
Dangerous questions among Wild fans, I know, but they need to be asked, and they need to be answered.
All of this on top of Zidlicky hopefully being able to make a return at some point.
You're the GM and the coach, Wilderness. You've got a great problem, but not an easy one to solve. Who goes where, and who plays? What are your lines?
