Kamenev needs to play in the show. He’s an asset to one of the middle two lines.
Just got back from the game. Girard is our best defense man. Dude just wheels out of trouble and is such a good puck mover.
Kerfoot and Jost line looked good.
Grubauer is solid.
EJ does in fact have huge shin pads.
He made some really piss poor decisions with the puck on the PP tonight. He should never have to carry the puck into the zone it has to be anyone else on that unit.Going to ruff some feathers, but whatever. Landeskog was pretty terrible today and I hope in this draft we can get a guy who can eventually demote him to the 2nd line. Solid player who plays the game the right way, but damn he is limited in ability.
Watching the third period at the moment, Dries has been a positive surprise in this game. Barberio has been much better than expected by me as well. Compher, Jost and Kerfoot will turn some heads this year. Would be interesting to see Jost and Kerfoot with Kamenev. I don't think secondary scoring will be a problem at all.

Landeskog is a solid outlet when cycling the puck. He doesn't tend to lose it and he keeps the play alive.Going to ruff some feathers, but whatever.

We've seen enough from Landeskog in the past to know that he can be inconsistent with the puck but he works exceptionally well with MacKinnon and Landeskog. At this point it's beating a dead horse.Going to ruff some feathers, but whatever.

I think (a motivated) Kamenev would be ideal. Solid defensively, the playmaking to give Jost a bit of freedom to go for the goal himself from time to time instead of being more of a setup guy and also very able to find the back of the net. Problem is all three are shooting left. Compher (I love him and Jost together) would be good on their line, too. This would mean Kamenev needs to center the 4th line, though, because I hope Toninato won't be more than a 13th or 14th forward.Man Jost/Kerf would look so good with someone like skinner (or kakko) on that line.

Is it just me or does Russo sometimes feed into this overall sense of insecurity among the Wild fans?

If they are set on a G - EJ pairing, then a Cole - Barbs pairing makes a lot more sense than Cole - Nemeth.I thought Barberio played pretty close to a perfect game for a guy like him. If he can play even close to that level every game then he's got to be the 6th dman. Brings mobility and puck moving that Nemeth lacks.
Man Jost/Kerf would look so good with Jack Hughes on that line.
