On today’s episode of Locked on Wild, we preview the 2023-24 season for Jonas Brodin and Brock Faber. We look at how Brock Faber can help Brodin by giving him a linemate who can cover ground and allow Brodin to pursue opponents more freely. We project stats for both Brodin and Faber, and what to expect for them all season. We look at the potential for Brodin to up his numbers and play more games, while we try to determine where Faber may end up statistically based on his collegiate numbers. We finish by discussing expectations for the second pairing as a whole, and what they can do to help take pressure off the third pairing!

It seems Addison is leaving us
Will know soon enough
I just hope a couple of the kids become
Defensive standouts in camp.
Because are number 3 line is terrible
As it stands right now
One of billy's bad decisions are
Signing kosky for 2 years when he didn't have too
And Merrill who is a sieve, player's drive right by him you can see where I'm going with this
I've said it a lot. I dont like Brodin with Faber. (If we are assuming Our Dcore is Spurge, Midsy, Faber, Brodin, Addison, Goli, Merrill)
#1 Spurge Midsy
#2 Brodin Addison
#3 Faber Goli/Merrill
The reason I dont put Brodin and Faber together is they are literally the exact same player and can be better utilized separated since our 3rd D-pairing is "not great" and those two are sound defensively and solid skaters. Neither are going to get you much in terms of points so I am not real concerned with that.
My 2-cents
Hope it was a happy birthday!
First and foremost, happy birthday. 🎈🎉! I remember when I was 25…..
I still cannot believe Guerin was able to get Faber for Fiala ( plus the pick) on a player we couldn’t sign, it was absolute genius. We would be lost without Faber. One more year for Goligoski, Merrill has his skill set for periodic fill ins, but we need a big boy back there. Another Middleton with nastiness is what this group could really use. Trav hit this on the head – Brodin and Faber are too similar, hoping a Lambos, Hunt, or another player in the pipeline steps up with a different skill set. Not sure what the answer is – this could be the weakness if anyone gets hurt long-term.
Ay Happy Birthday my guy! Unbelievable your working so hard and entertaining us on your birthday. You dont go unappreciated around here Seth! Im always spreading the good word about your channel to fellow Wild fans. Take care and I hope you have a great weekend!
How did I miss you're birthday
Yes Happy Birthday young man
Seth your starting something that's a prelude for the rest of your life!!!
Also you keep talking about Faber as a stay at home defenseman, if you look at his play in the world juniors, he was driving the play and his last year at the U
He certainly was not a stay at home player Faber just gets better every year
I don't see that changing
Like I've said before he a Diamond
That's going to be very Shiney
Also we should have a a moment of silence
To my friend and a true Northstar
Brad Maxwell , he passed last week from Cancer he helped me with 2 fundraisers
Yoooo happy birthday dude!
Not gonna lie though, Im probably more nervous about the future of the Wild's blue line than I am with the forwards. I feel like if GMBG doesnt manage this area of the team very well, it could seriously hinder our window in 2025/26.
Do we want to see Spurg and Brods hoist the cup in a Wild sweater in a few years? Hell yes, but what would the pairings look like?
Let's hope these next 2 seasons sees a ton of time for the prospects to verify what we can use, and what's expendable. Size is still a huge concern of mine.
