Possibly. Minnesota got some depth nowCould just be a rotation thing. Bring out Kulikov against an "easier" team in the Nucks? Maybe Kukilov needs a maintenance day?
No idea. just postulating.
Hunter Jones is completely unready to be a NHL goalie.Idk I can’t see a world where we trade Dumba over Fiala. But tbh I’m really stoked about the idea of Middleton playing with Spurgeon and re-signing at under $3m for a few more years.
Doesn’t work, forgot to include buyouts. We’re unable to make it under the cap even adding a minimum contract. Maybe trade Talbot and try to re-sign MAF for like 2.75 and bring up Hunter Jones as the 2nd goalie. Then you barely make it. Hell trade Gaudreau and make a run at Meyers and save another 300k. But you need to also figure in Rossi. Fiala has to come in 6.5 or less or it can’t happen. Or Middleton needs to come in at 2.5.
That would be my guess.Kulikov could also be banged up a little and they are just giving him some rest for all we know.
You better watch yourself saying those words.Possibly. Minnesota got some depth now
You better watch yourself saying those words.
Absolutely, ultimately Goligoski should be the man out. He is so slow and weak these days. Kulikov better be banged up or this is the dumbest decision I have seen.What's the point of having Kulikov come out when Merrill and Goligoski have both been awful
I completely agree. I’m just saying that’s what it’d take to get Fiala signed. So essentially I’m saying “he gone”.Hunter Jones is completely unready to be a NHL goalie.
Makes me think Guerin has started talking about extensions with either Dumba or Middleton or both, and one of them will require a raise greater than the Wild can afford. That's just my own speculation, but I have to think they'll move someone. They could run 8 d-men, but I've only rarely seen teams do it.Hope we keep him but we have 7 d-man signed next year already (including Addison)
I think he's been getting better each game. He started off with us by falling over a few times and throwing the puck off the boards haphazardly to break it out. Since then, he's gotten physical, played really good defense, has started making those little outlet passes, and is even showing a willingness to occasionally jump up into the play. I'm liking him quite a lot!Wild fans, Sharks fan here wanting to know how are you liking Middleton thus far? Saw he scored a goal last night which is a nice bonus with the other things he brings on the ice. My sense is that he was always given too much credited for being big and physical and not enough for his sound defense/positioning and simple but effective outlet passes.
I don't think Guerin would've wanted him if he didn't think he could jump in offensively.Glad to hear. He jumped into the play a surprising amount with the Sharks so glad to hear that is part of the scheme in MIN.
If contract price were equal, Middleton.So Middleton or Soucy?
