Russo has said it repeatedly that beating Edmonton would've had the Wild facing Vancouver and likely beating them. Now as sweet and fun as that would've been, ultimately we would've still gotten bounced by a Chicago or LA. Vancouver is on the downside of their years so they would not have been a true contender for the Wild, where as in this series the Wild first hand have seen what a true contender looks like in Chicago. They've played them, they've seen them up close and they saw what makes them a great team.
I honestly feel, silver lining I know, facing Chicago right now and losing like they did will give this team a better understanding in the long run of what it takes to truly become a winner unlike beating up on Vancouver would've given us. I feel it will make us better in the long run.
