2022/2023 NHL/Wild Offseason-Season-Postseason Thread

Addy getting caught up the ice leading to a 2 on 1 was a head scratcher

And also frustrated.
BG better be giving him whatever he wants.

He is so fun to watch.

Agree he is frustrated I’ve really noticed it the last few games. Whenever they show a close up shot of him skating back to the bench it’s written all over him. The one thing he wants is not in BG’s power to just give him.

More of that Boldy! Stop thinking and just shoot!

The wild need to get on the PP more perhaps they should dive like other teams.

Other than Kirill, nobody is hustling enough to draw one…

Lol that was some putrid coverage on that last goal. Ek hussles back to eliminate Eichel and Dumba leaves his man alone in front of the net. Just lazy.

I said this last night about the same time. Down 3, that’s enough for me tonight.

Dumba is not a smart hockey player. He didn’t pick up the guy who was opem

Penalty shot for that!? BS

I think our D is playing worse than they were at the beginning of the season. Didn’t think that’d be possible.

Hey Mahto are the wolves on tonight?

They are just mentally broken right now… they are making mistakes you see in squirt level hockey…

Its hard to watch… at the end of the period you’ll hear the loudest Boos the X has heard in a long time…

Yeah Dumba confidence is not real high right now.
Can’t imagine he is playing with a real clear head.
Not defending him but he definitely playing under tough circumstances with the wild right now.
Knows his time is coming to an end, maybe in a few weeks may a couple months.
All sorts of chatter about it.
Probably not the easiest situation for a captain to play in.

The ship is sinking.

GREEF line a combined -9 that period…. I’m liking my scorched earth offseason idea more and more…

being the worst of the best or best of the worst however u look at it…the time has come…to blow it up.
Cap hell ditch some money gets some picks in a deep draft class maybe a prospect or 2 that cant be worse than what we have going on right now…suck for a couple years and maybe by year 4 of kaprizovs deal there is a light at the tunnel and they some how con him into staying. Kid is so fun to watch even during an abysmal performance like the last 2 games. Hard to ditch any money though when most guys look like a DUMBA-ss

the thing is though, this has been in his game the last few years… last year we just outscored the mistakes, this year we aren’t…

I disagree with him being this bad last year, but ok.
Either way not a lot of guys playing well so doesn’t really matter.

They don’t really have the pieces nor the means to blow it up.
You ain’t getting much for prospects or picks trading away Dumba, Steel, Greeway Goose.
Maybe Hartman is worth something to someone but don’t see teams giving up a major piece for him either.

lol, there’s only a handful of players with any value that dont have No Move Clauses (Greenway, Hartman and Foligno) one of them (likely Greenway) needs to go to just have enough capspace to re-sign the restricted players needed to fill the roster out. Then whomever else you trade off for prospects likely dont get you enough $ savings to afford an impact player for the 2nd line…

This team is likely stuck doing nothing next season unless guys like Rossi & Walker can be impactful… We just need to pay the piper next year for the buyout repercussions…the year after gets better because the cap should rise significantly, then the year after we’re free of the caphell and should have around $18 million to spend on some talent.

Vegas might have just seen their season get helped off the ice…

Uff, that’s rough for Vegas.

Think we could work out a Flower to Vegas trade

I can’t imagine todays team film review session will be very fun for a few players…

That’s not a crazy scenario! Especially if the Wild fizzle out and Flower were to tell GMBG he wants to retire after the season and wants one more shot in the playoffs…

I must have missed it, but did Deano sit the GREEF line in the 3rd? I looked up their game stats and all 3 of them only had 13 minutes of icetime…

Beyond the Pond on KFAN tomorrow oughta be interesting.

I was the dreadful game last night and Vegas is just such a better team right now. Also the Wild looked dead from the start of it and just slow. Not to keep bringing it up but Greenway just looks like he goes through the motions.

Oooof that had to be a miserable experience

Next game should be interesting with only 5 forwards and 1 D since every other player has been traded or sent to the press box
