Pretty accurate of his time here. He never had that shoot-first mentality here though.
It'll be interesting to see how he carries it through to the regular season next year. I think he's got several things going for him in Boston (a clear role, playing in his hometown, etc.) that might help him get over whatever mental hurdles he stumbled with here in Minnesota. He's not going to put up 5 goals in 8 games very often, but he's more than capable of being an effective player every night.
He will, for a while. And then he won't, for a longer while.
Also, that redirected pass winner, here he was too busy going behind the net instead of to the front of the net to be able to do such a thing.
I think the honeymoons probably ends for both fanbases next year, but it still seems like a good trade for both teams.
I don't mind Byfuglien as much. He's more of a guy I hate unless he's on my team kind of player. Kadri is a dumb punk in my brain. His actions are what you would expect from a angry teenager. Marchand and Wilson know what they are doing and their actions are more calculated and part of a bigger picture.
That's true, but if you look at it by a pure talent, there's 5-6 guys on Dallas I'd rather have than anybody on the Wild.
If I was building a team for today and the future, and using Dumba as the Wilds most valuable player moving forward, I would rather have Seguin, Benn, Heiskanen and probably Klingberg. Bishop has more value than anyone but Dumba and Spurgeon, IMO. Hintz has a better future than any of our forwards, again in my opinion.
Nobody takes Benn, and/or Klingberg ahead of Dumba in your scenario. Your takes on Bishop and Hintz are just embarrassing.
