On today’s episode of Locked on Wild, we continue to react to a bad 3-2 loss to Arizona to start off the second half. We discuss the notion that the Wild are at a “fork in the road” where they either commit to chasing a playoff spot or take a step back to get ready for touch choices coming in the offseason. We look at their deficiencies in key areas that most playoff teams excel at including 5 on 5 scoring, special teams and center depth. We discuss what the Wild would need to do if they decide to take a step back, including roster moves that should be made to give players in Iowa a chance for a full audition at the NHL level. We finish by discussing the next Wild “core” as Bill Guerin is constructing it.

Foligno and Hartman need to go
zombie coach dean needs to go as well
They play the Stars then have a tough homestand against Vegas, the Devils, Panthers, Avs, Stars, Preds, and Kings. If they lose the next 4 games and Guerin hasn't done anything to shake up the roster, whether it's trading Dumba, Hartman, or Greenway or calling up Walker/Rossi, then I'm convinced Guerin is trying to tank for a top 15 draft pick this year because he knows no player available in a trade right now is going to get the Wild past the first round.
With goal scoring coming from 97/36/14/46/12/89 and no one else, it’s impossible to win.
Steel – Foligno – Hartman – Greenway are not putting the puck in the net, period.
With the lack of a C1, lazy penalties, and my heavens the face-off discrepancy – this cost us a goal last night, it does seem like we maybe swimming upstream. February will tell us what the direction we should be going. Watch, with this group, they beat Dallas and Vegas and we’re singing a different tune. I think a lot of teams are doing this weird dance this year, so they either play themselves in, or we audition the young guys. Hell, I would add beckman / O’Rourke, Hunt to the Rossi, Faber, Walker conversation.
Last night was a must win game. Wild are going to have to over perform during this difficult upcoming stretch if they even want a shot. I just don’t know what they can do, there’s so much dead weight on this team.
need to get rid of Greenway. he just two lazy, Hartman needs to go to many penalty. keep Dumba you wont get any thing for him. free up cap space bring up Rossy and Sammy and get draft picks Play the year out think they will still make play offs. look at draft this year lot of good options.
draft pick for Dumba
Unless something changes drastically, this team doesn't have the feel of a cup team. Love 'em, but something's missing. Future looks bright, I'd love to see youngsters get some NHL looks
