On today’s episode of Locked on Wild, we look at Kirill Kaprizov’s chase of every record in Wild history. We look at where he stands on the career points leaderboard right now, and at his current pace, how long it might take him to pass various fixtures among the top 10 and top 5. We also look at a few oddities on the list, such as Brian Rolston’s marks despite playing just 3 seasons in Minnesota, as well as the longevity vs productivity approach. We rank the top 10 forwards in Wild history to finish the show!

Problem is that we need to start placing him on LTIR for the bulk of the season so we can Lightning our way over the cap.
Great podcast! You always need to look at games played verses points obtained as one factor. There are always extenuating factors like line-mates (look at the big two in Edmonton) as well as the coaching structure, the game itself, (it was more clutch and grab in the past and more physical) as variables. Under Lemaire he was a structured D coach, so Gabrik lightning it up was phenomenal. As for 97, he is by far the best skilled forward to wear Wild green. If he signs a second contract, sticks around and finally gets a legit center, he’ll break almost every offensive record. Longevity is critical as mentioned so Gabby is still #1 until 97 surpasses him. This podcast also shows you what a durable and solid player Koivu was year after year. He was a great draft pick and fit into Lamaire’s philosophy perfectly.
More interesting, current Wild forwards total points (games)
1. Kaprizov 234 (203)
2. Zuccarello 218 (255) wow…close to Kap's production
3. Eriksson Ek 206 (421) actually pretty bad below 0.5
4. Foligno 156 (396)
5. Hartman 144 (261)
6. Boldy 102 (128)
The rest under 100 points.
If they ever get a coach that believes in balance and two way play by everyone, D Men that don't continually suck in and give up big plays while they try to get back to play their position (Dumba, Addison, Klingberg) and undersized D Men then they might be able to get out of their own end 5 or 6 times a game! That would help! When you can't get past the blue line, It gets infinitely harder to score! Come on! Playing Kaprizov with 2 other players that are bottom 6 is career genocide! (Zuccarello is not producing…face it!) Why is it other teams build around their star players and the Wild suck hind teet and build everywhere but Kaprizov's line? If you can't buy a 1C get it from your recruits. Dean will never get us to a cup finals. His style is a scoring killer! Dean never will play the kids he plays his pets while Stanley Cup ring toting players sit the bench in the press box! (No wonder Sundqvist wouldn't sign a $775k deal here instead of St. Louis…Dean sat him and never played him!!!)
