Heading back out of the Olympic break, Minnesota sits comfortably in 7th place. However, Dallas and Phoenix are only 5 points behind, so hopefully not a lot of compliancy. The question though is why? And how? How is it that Colorado has jumped ahead of the Wild after a few years of rebuilding? How is it that after five years of waiting the Wild are still stuck in mediocrity? Why is it that the Wild struggle with consistency and goals? This isn't just a Yeo issue. Richards had the same problem as well.
Having the 1st, 2nd and 3rd OVERALL top picks in a 5 year span, tends to help a team rebound. A luxury the Wild have never had, as they just don't tank like CoLOLorado did in those draft years.
