Let's Meet: Jeff Taffe

Sounds like things are lining up for him to be in the game, so let's figure out who this guy is.

Where does he fit? What will his job duties be? Make the jump and let's take a look.

Most Important Questions First

Taffe will wear number 19 23. You know you were going to ask. He changed it already. Wow.

A look at his stat line.

Next up, the expert, Ms. Conduct herself:

Some Video:

Not sure if I am impressed more by the flow he had in high school, or the creepiness of the video in general.

Apparently, he has some touch. Not exactly what will be expected of him, but he's got it if the situation presents itself.

Plenty move video on him on YouTube, too. Check it out if you want.

What it Means

Taffe will be a fourth liner. That much I can all but guarantee. Clutterbuck isn't playing, or at least that's the feeling the Wild's Twitter account gives, and they aren't going to bring Taffe in and throw him in the top six. The third line is nearly untouchable, so that leaves the fourth line. Looking at his stats, he's been around the block a time or two, so he likely knows what his role is. Don't expect a ton from him, but don't feel like you're being short changed here, either. The guy has been a pro hockey player for a fair amount of time. You don't stick around this long if you don't offer something.
