    Is kaprizov OK?

    I’ve thought that myself several times tonight…turnover machine and seems disinterested alot tonight…

    for comparison sake Fiala looks like he’s shot out of a cannon everytime he touches the puck, which is alot….

    Boldy’s looking way better.

    Greenway’s been solid.

    Sure don’t miss Steel at all.

    Like Beckman a lot.

    Like the Ek, Boldy, Beckman combo.

    Goose just isn’t worth the Addy swap to me. If he was a lock down d-man yeah I’d get it, but he’s not and gets leaky at times.

    A couple of snipes for Hartman. Has he got his groove back?

    Now THAT Hartman we haven’t seen since last season! I thought that was Beckman with the puck and got extra excited for a second…

    Hartman again! He’s back

    pump the breaks a bit there )

    The first goal was a good shot, but it was all Kirill sending him in on the goalie. Now the 2nd goal was a beauty and COULD light a spark, we’ll see… he’s definitely doing what he needs to do to be successful, completely opposite of his first half of the season…

    Good win! Team looked pretty solid all the way around. Gus’s play better keep the Flower on the bench for a while.

    Team got crushed and Gus stole a win for them. They played 2 full periods of that prevent defense Mahto loves

    Guessing Flower gets in one of the next two. Back to Back.

    Gus definitely deserves the net right now.

    Flower will play against Columbus because they’re terrible and we’ll lose.

    How we feeling about Patty Kane to the Wild for the Flower price? 2nd round pick that ups to a 1st if when they win a round.

    I can’t believe they took his goal away last night – could have been a storybook ending to his career in Chicago. I hate replay.

    Is this something being thrown out there or something you dreamt up? I think I would do it. That would certainly inject something into Boldy’s line.

    I don’t think Chicago would go for that.

    IDK, I think Chicago might. I dont think they are getting more than a second rounder for him. They are in full rebuild mode and would look to stockpile picks.

    What’s crazy is that the TV game clock wasn’t in sync, so the early replays all showed the goal in the net with .01 seconds left, but the green light was on indicating the official game clock expired beforehand…so confusing…

    in terms of Kane for a conditional 2nd, I think Flower’s condtion was the Wild had to reach the Conference Finals for it to switch to a 1st? I would want the same for Kane, not just 1 round win… I still think the Rangers will make an attempt to get him, remember Kane has full control so if he says Rangers or nowhere, you would think the price would come down to whatever the Rangers offered if Chicago wanted to get anything back for him…

    I think it was based on making conference finals and Fleury being the winning goalie.

    Yeah Flower was win 2 rounds and he wins 4 games.

    Would you do that for Kaner? I would 100%. He’s had a *rough* year but they have a gaping hole he fills perfectly. Just imagine a PP2 with Kane Freddy Hartman and Brodin rotflol gotta think he’d replace Boldy on PP1

    Would I do it, absolutley…BUT I would want to make sure we’re making the playoffs so that means waiting until deadline day to see where we’re at before making the decision and I think he gets traded before that…

    Vegas just opened $10 million in capspace with Stone on LTIR, I would think Kane would like the spotlight of Vegas over flyover MN…

    I think it would be hilarious to watch Ek’s eyes ping pong back and forth playing with Kane and Boldy…I would run 5 forwards (Kaprizov/Kane/Ek/Boldy/Zuccy) on the PP1 (Have Zuccy be the QB)

    again, I think he goes to the Rangers for a meh return because he calls the shots (similar to what Taylor Hall did to go to Boston) That deal will absolutley need a broker to take on the 25%, maybe the Wild does that again, so technically we would be trading for him…)

    Something to keep an eye on…

    Only 2 games left in Danila Yurov’s KHL season and he still hasn’t signed an extension…you’d think if he’s held out this long (putting up with being scratched or the 13th forward getting >2 minutes of icetime) he’s probably wanting to sign with the Wild and come over?

    Let’s hope so, he still has the playoffs to wait out which start in March. I assume he would go right to Iowa if he does make it out of Russia.

    I believe BG talked a bit about Yurov on a recent Russo podcast. Not 100% sure though.

    He did, he really didn’t say much other than it sucks dealing with Russia…Russo said he thinks Yurov should sign a 1 year deal to stay in the KHL…I think that’s a big mistake, get him to Iowa asap…

    I was saying this like a month ago lol. His stats are ridiculous.

    The roles need to be reversed right now. Gus should be starting most of the games, except when there is a back to back situation, as Ripjiggen stated. Then Fleury can go in there. I swear BG has some stupid brainwashed idea in his head that the net is and always will belong to Fleury though. Just wait and see.

    Took awhile but the goalie roles have switched. Gus started 5 of the last 7

    Bonkers how KHL teams will just straight up not play these teenagers and that can’t help their development. But also look how well it worked for Kaprizov and now for Khusnutdinov. He is getting experience the Wild could never offer him right now, same for Kaprizov when he was still there. Isn’t the new model that development happens in practice, not games?
