    > 11. Minnesota Wild

    > Goal Difference added: 4.4

    > Salary added: -$7.8 million

    > In: Patrick Maroon

    > Out: Gustav Nyquist, Matt Dumba, John Klingberg, Ryan Reaves

    > The Wild land where they are mostly as a result of addition by subtraction. Gustav Nyquist is an average forward who should easily be replaced internally or at the deadline, while both Matt Dumba and John Klingberg aren’t the players they once were. They can also be replaced internally (hello Brock Faber). As for the heavyweights, there probably isn’t much of a discernible difference in overall value between Patrick Maroon and Ryan Reaves, but at least the former costs $500,000 less.

    Given the financial constraints BG has tonavigate Im okay with just treading ater this season and building for the moment they shed those awful contracts.

    I’m hoping having MJo for the whole year will bring some added goals/assists even though he wasn’t technically an offseason add.

    Right down the middle, the Minnesota way.
