No disputes with me
Judd Bracket has hit several homeruns
Since Billy hired him!!!
Johansson was a complete surprise and I was wondering why we gave up a third rounder until he got here. His speed was on display with the Wild, being relied upon to carry the puck into the O zone on the PP as an example. Boldy flourished with Marcus and I’m really happy we we able to sign him to a two year contract. If somehow we can keep Nyquist I’m thinking the Wild will be formidable next season with plugging in a few prospects. The EK injury as previously brought up, really screwed up all the lines. Add in the fact the Wild played 2 out of six games against Dallas minus a forward and it was another shit-show in the playoffs. Just one year, it would be nice to be healthy come April – just once…
Letter grade A- based on a smaller sampling.
