Wild Player Grid | Day 5: Most Potential



Martin Hanzal put up a good fight on day 4, but in the end, elite goal scorer and first line center, V1Ctor Rask, was voted to be the Wild’s worst player of all time.

Shifting gears to our next accolade, which current Minnesota Wild player or prospect do you think has the most potential?

    What do you consider a prospect? If it is just age, Brock Faber. If it is a player not yet established in the NHL, it’s a toss up between Yurov and Wallstedt

    Brock “future captain” Faber

  3. simplyme216

    We also gotta recognize that OP has **changed 3 of the cells** compared to yesterday. Are we really going to let them get away with this? /s

    Faber but I’m also hopeful in Wally

  5. nupharlutea

    I’m excited about Buium, but it’s got to be Faber.

    Faber. This man is gonna be the cornerstone to this franchise for a long time.

    Yeah if you’re gonna go for most potential ever, with still a margin over his actually performances, I’d say our federal Brock Faber. Can see him score more, and become an established top D-Man of the league !

    I’m gonna go with Zeev just because I’m still high off of the fact that we somehow got him.

    Really though you could make a strong case for any of Faber, Zeev, Wallstedt, or Yurov, which just means we’re in a great place with our prospect pool.

  9. DirtyxXxDANxXx

    1) Wally

    2) Zeev

    3) Faber (only because i don’t really count him as a prospect anymore)

    Faber is the easy pick, Wallstedt is another obvious answer. I’m gonna take a flyer on Kumpulainen though, kid has some hands. Excited to see what he does in the top Finnish league this year.

    Faber. Wallstedt is a close second. Boldy could even be put in this category since he still has some untapped potential.

  12. Lets_Kick_Some_Ice

    I think it’s still early enough to count Faber. He’s shown great skill, but the “potential” would be whether he can be consistent or flame out like Gus Bus.

    Plus, looking ahead I don’t see any other opportunities for our boy to make it onto the board. That’s gotta factor in.

    It’s Wallstedt over Faber in my mind because true franchise goalies are few and far between. Everything points to him being that. I think all things equal you take the franchise goalie over a number 1 D

    The fact that Kirill is the best player we’ve ever had says a lot.

    He’s good, but…it’s been 25 years and a guy who’s has a few good seasons taking that crown is…almost sad?

  15. OhHiTony

    Boldy. The guy can do anything, has played like a young Kucherov.

  16. thePETEY12

    Rask won? Damn. Matt Cooke wins worst player every time. You kids don’t even know.

  17. ColonelCarrot

    Surprised no Boldy mentions, guy has the combo of insane skill and a physical package to be among the very best in the league if it all goes right. Saw glimpses of it last season, but if he can really put it all together skating wise, he is the only guy on this roster capable of exceeding Kaprizov IMO.
