2016-17 Minnesota Wild General Discussion

[ThatGuy22]

I had a lot of thoughts on how the Wild are succeeding that I couldn't fit into a comment, so I hacked together a fan post at HockeyWilderness on why what we are doing now is sustainable, despite medicore possession numbers.

Thought some here may be interested. Forewarned, I am not a writer so it may be a tough read.

One is Dubnyk during his incredible first 39 starts with the Wild, and one is Dubnyk in his first 24 starts this season.

[Spoil] A is this season [/Spoil]

That site also says we're favored to win the cup. Let's slow that one down a little bit.

We have ten players in the top 50 of +/-.

I don't care what you think of the stat, it's great. And four of them are in the top 15, three in the top 10.

Suter has the highest +/- in the league.

I made my Staal points prediction in his thread.

I'll make a few in this general thread.

Coyle will finish 28g 25a

Nino 19g 24a

Koivu 18g 30a

Granlund 15g 32a

Suter 8g 42a

I've hated Suter for what he has brought to the team: Decent offense & defence vs. big salary... This year it's different. Suter is LEADING in plusminus, he is not trying to pretend to be Burns and he is now being absolutely rock solid defense.

10/10 points for Suter so far.
