Minnesota Wild Stock Market: Week of 11-6-2011

Forgot to change the opening paragraph. Sorry all. Kids these days and all that.

This week has been much better than last. The team is playing well, listening to the coach, and getting results. While the team as a whole is playing well, there are always some stars, and some disappointments. The Wild are no different. Certain players have stepped up, mostly the young guys, while some players have taken clear steps backwards.

Over a month in, we have some disturbing trends among the people the Wild were to count on, and some magnificent trends from those who were not expected to be ready. Enjoy this while it lasts, folks. It could be all season, or it could come to a crashing halt at any time.

Remember:

Strong Buy - Feel free to invest heavily with your fan dollars. This player will deliver every time.
Buy - Getting results, safe bet to invest your fandom in. Will disappoint rarely.
Hold - The results aren't there, but it isn't time to give up yet. Buying or selling equally acceptable.
Sell - Time to seriously consider your investment decision. Results consistently not there, and the trend is they will not be there.
Strong Sell - The lowest of rankings. Time to get out, and get out now, before your investment is totally worthless.

Note: The analysis will change from week to week, and are not equal from player to player. It's just our thing.

Nate Prosser (STIF) - Called up to replace Stoner, Prosser is playing well. He isn't going to light up the world, and he is still very young, but he certainly doesn't look out of place, which is a huge compliment. Not ready to issue a rating just yet, so just hold on him for a few more games. Rating: Hold
