Yeah, he picks certain aspects of each team that set them apart in terms of style or whatever from other teams. The Wild are unique in the fact that they have a guy like Ryan Suter who plays historic level minutes at an almost unheard of level of efficiency and success

He nailed Edmonton's problems pretty well.

I'm curious to see what he thinks about Colorado.
