A sharks win tonight would be instrumental
I’d be really shocked if we’re outside the top tenI think a realistic goal is to be picking top 10.

Knights, Calgary, and Coyotes winning is big for us thoNot a great day for the tank. Ducks blew a 3-1 lead
We have a legit shot at 7OAI think a realistic goal is to be picking top 10.
And you can guarantee that at least ONE of those guys in the top 9-if not two- fall to 10-12. We see it in every draft unless I'm nutso and way off the mark.Well, I've got;
Laf
Byf
Stutzle
Rossi
Drydale
Holtz
Raymond
Perfetti
Lundell
as the top 9. I'd be ok with all of them except Drydale, but say he drops to us at 9 you take him, or trade spots with someone. At #10...at this point, hard to say, but a couple more months will add clarity. Last year you'd be thinking Askarov...not so much now.
Anyway, would prefer to be top 9, but there is a lot of competition out there- it's hard to do what Detroit is doing.
Agreed.After seeing the Toffoli and Coleman trades, I’m really curious what kind of offers are out there for some of our guys. Sell everyone that isn’t tied down. Brodin, Staal, Foligno, Pateryn, Greenway/Donato, maybe even Hartman.
You have to draft centers before you can have them.On a semi-related note, LA's prospect pool now features Turcotte-Vilardi-Madden-Kupari as centers. Must be nice to have that kind of prospect depth at the most important position in the game.
We should. Have a surplus of guys who are not in the long term future of the Wild.After seeing the Toffoli and Coleman trades, I’m really curious what kind of offers are out there for some of our guys.

So many of last years lottery picks are already considered top prospects in the league. Is this draft thought to be as strong? Need Boldy to step up. Figures that the Wild got a guy who has struggled as guys drafted around him are soaring.
Boldy was played out of position at center... struggled. Moved back to his natural wing position, now has 14 points in 13 games. He's still the dominant wing we drafted. He has stepped up.Need Boldy to step up. Figures that the Wild got a guy who has struggled as guys drafted around him are soaring.
Buffalo and Montreal finish below us so we're 10th worst, then get jumped by someone in the lottery. I wouldn't say its likely but it's definitely possible.
