The opponents will also be injured after a few games.
Imagine a dump and chase with these guys coming down either side of the boards. Defensemen are going to pay a hefty price to make a play. Playoff hockey.

Not to mention how tenacious Cogs and Parise are. Then you have Kovalenko possibly getting some games and suddenly it's a pretty hungry group

Keeping with the theme of speed and skating skills with my Sean Walker post yesterday.
canucksarmy.com
Duhaime is a 6’2, 200-pound left winger who can be described as a power forward. He has registered 116 hits at 5-on-5 this season, only trailing Marcus Foligno in hits and hits/60 on the Wild.
Playing on the top-line penalty kill with Joel Eriksson Ek, Duhaime is first off the bench when the team is short-handed and second on the team in short-handed time on ice. Looking through his career splits, this level of penalty killing is a new quality to his game that Duhaime has added this season. Averaging 2:05 minutes of penalty kill time per game this season is more than double his career average of 45 seconds before this season.
It’s the physicality and defensive prowess he brings that makes Duhaime so appealing.
While his top speed of 22.52 MPH is fast, ranking in the 68th percentile of all NHL skaters, it’s the number of speed bursts of 20+ MPH that is most impressive. He ranks in the 83rd percentile in speed bursts but in the bottom 50th percentile in actual skating distance. Here’s what this means: Duhaime only averages 10:29 minutes of time on ice, resulting in his skating distance ranking among the lower end in the league. Despite the minimal ice time, he ranks in the 83rd percentile in the amount of speed bursts north of 20 MPH — indicating that when he’s on the ice, he’s consistently skating at a high speed.

But if he can play 4C as Wild fans mentioned (per Balthazar) then I’m fine with it.

He can't... Dude has never played center in the NHL and very little (if none) in the AHL.

Wonder if there’s plan past this year for him cause that’s a little bit of a higher price than I would’ve guessed. It’s a pick in 3 more drafts so don’t care a whole lot but still a 3rd rounder.

I see how it is Poke.
That '26 3rd round pick could be anybody! It could even be Brandon Duhaime!
Wouldn't think he would be very expensive to keep...I'm sure if he plays well, they'd have every intention of bringing him back.
We have a great bottom six now but 5 are wingers and 1 is a center.
Who slides to the middle? They can't seriously play Olofsson or Wagner over guys like Cogs or Duhaime.
