On today’s episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins to recap a full list of roster moves for the Wild as they move through the final week of the regular season. We start by discussing Kirill Kaprizov’s return to the lineup and the debut of Gustav Nyquist. We talk about the Joel Eriksson Ek injury and how the Wild will try to fill his absence in the lineup. We discuss the Brock Faber signing as well as Marco Rossi’s promotion and where they may fit into the lineup this week. We discuss why Sam Steel will likely fill Joel Eriksson Ek’s spot in the lineup if he continues to produce in spurts, and we finish looking at the remaining 3 games of the season as well as who will take the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference!

take Klingberg out
After staying up last night and watching Colorado get 8 PP opportunities, 2+ 5 on 3’s as well as the final PP in OT with 2:00 minutes, it’s clear who the league wants to take the 1 seed. The Ducks got jobbed I felt. As far as Rossi, I would throw him to the wolves and let him experience the playoff atmosphere / competition. He’s going to be ok and needs to dip his toes in the water. It’s a win / win for the Wild, see where he’s at and maybe, just maybe he’s ready. Same for Faber – throw him in, let Dumba sit as this is where he’ll be slotted next year and see what he’ll need to work on this off season. Steel is a great filler but has shown his inability to grab the top 6 long term. With the matchups, I would like nothing better than to knock the Jets down, then the Preds and potentially have Calgary physically beat down Colorado. I also can’t stand Calgary but with their brand of hockey 🏒 they would at least go 6 with the Ave’s. Colorado is ripe to get knocked out, providing the games are officiated fairly etc.
Go Wild! Love from Norway 🏒🔥🏒 Thx 4 update guys!
Yes, it's Chicago you play Rossi to see what he's made of. Nothing against Steel, but Rossi puts the puck in the net, get him in position.
I’ve been watching Kaprisov for awhile now and he’s a playmaker (can score and pass) out him at center while Ek is out. I think Kaprisov is wasted at the forward position. I’ll bet his point totals go way up also. Once Ek gets back put Kaprisov centering the first line. I believe this gets better use of a superstar and he’s wasted as a forward because you’re not getting the most out of him. All the real superstars are centers on the forward line and Kaprisov has center ability.
Faber is playing tonight, looks like Wild are not playing Kaprizov, Zuc, Spurge and trying some rookies
Hey Alex, is everything funny to you? Why do you laugh at everything? Can you at least be serious instead of the nervous laugh every 5 seconds? I am annoyed. You seem like such a great guy that anyone would want to hang around with but….
I'm definitely looking forward to their game against the Jets. I expect Reaves and Foligno to step up in a big way after seeing them do nothing when they watched Kaprizov get crushed by Stanley.
My thoughts for todays show!
My lineup is geared for playoffs
Zuggs. Hartman Kaprisov
Boldy Rossi mojo
Nyquist Gudreau sundquist
Duhaim Dewar Reeves
Middleton Spergon
Dumba brodin
Faber Addison
And Gus the Bus
Keeping Dewar out is a mistake
He's are best penalty killer
And top ten in the NHL his speed makes
A huge difference
That's four lines with speed
A matchup problem for all teams
I most interested in seeing Faber
And hope to see him with Addison
There's a steamroller coming baby
It's Gus the Bus and crew
All Aboard baby
Love Brock Faber
