Signs a pro contract and within a few weeks diagnosed with cancer. Pretty awful rollercoaster to find himself on. Hope the treatment goes well.
crazy how the world turns so quickly for some people.

My dad passed away from prostate cancer. Spread and well got into everything.I just became a fan of this guy. Hard to see young people getting Cancer.
On a lighter note, my Dad on his treatments a few years ago, " At my age, you aren't cool unless you've had prostate cancer."

Warren's LD.After trading for Faber, does Minnesota now have one of the deepest defensive prospect pools in the NHL?

Carson Lambos
Ryan O'Rourke
Daemon Hunt
Jack Peart

Caleb Addison
Brock Faber
Simon Johansson
Marshall Warren
The only concern is offense coming from the defense. Outside of that adding two first round and two second round picks is just going to bolster an already decent prospect pool.
Thats my biggest concern is there isn't any offensive defensemen in the group but an awesome group of two way guys.Warren's LD.
It is deep but not particularly pointy. Aside from Lambos I don't think any of them have much top-pairing upside, but that's always hard to find. Next best thing is having 4-6 prospects with top-4 potential.
The stability is good, but I'm skeptical that it'll lead anywhere we haven't been for the last decade or so.

Seems early. Or is it just me?Looks like development camp is next week

We haven’t had a top 5 pick in the draft since 2005. All three of Makar/Herman/Pietrangelo are top 5 picks in their draft year.I like the mantra of building a deep prospect pool, and I think Fenton/Guerin have done a good job at it. But, when I look at how it’s constructed, it doesn’t look much different than the franchise has always looked. Maybe a little more high-end scoring thanks to Boldy, but we still are deficient in all the wrong areas. 1C + 1D + 1G is a tried and proven formula for winning a cup. Right now, the only peice of that equation I’d feel particularly good about is the goalie part. I think we might have 3/4 too 4 D come out of this group, but where is our Makar/Hedman/Pietrangelo or even Theodore? I think Rossi could develop into a 1C but it’s not a sure thing.
Yeah. Picking in the teens is an endless cycle.We haven’t had a top 5 pick in the draft since 2005. All three of Makar/Herman/Pietrangelo are top 5 picks in their draft year.
It's early. Usually it's the draft (June 25ish), UFA singing period (July 1st), then the rookie/dev camp (sometime in August). The normal league calendar is still out of whack.
I'm guessing the dev camp was pushed up due to the U-20 games being played in mid Aug (not sure how/when the camp for that are going to work). Wallstedt and basically all of the d-corps will be in that tourney so if the team wants a dev camp with them it has to be soon.

How about trading superstar players so you can pick in the teens twice?Yeah. Picking in the teens is an endless cycle.
We definitely didn’t trade a superstar player.How about trading superstar players so you can pick in the teens twice?
Don't know squat about NHL D prospect pools, but IMO this is surely the best D prospect pool in Wild history. Seems to me they've never had more than a legit prospect or two on D until the last couple years' drafts and trades of Zucker and Fiala.After trading for Faber, does Minnesota now have one of the deepest defensive prospect pools in the NHL?
I feel like we didWe definitely didn’t trade a superstar player.
Then you have a low standard for what a superstar is.I feel like we did
