Monday on this fine website, my colleague laid out the case for why General Manager Paul Fenton’s conservative approach was the wrong move for the Wild this offseason. The piece made a lot of good points and stressed the need for the Wild to make significant changes to the roster. However, when I finished reading the piece, I couldn’t help but start forming the counter argument in my mind; what if being conservative, biding his time, and keeping his powder dry is Fenton’s best move? The Wild are a skilled team and their window of contention is still open, so why make an aggressive move unless it was a clear upgrade?
Fenton’s Conservative Approach is the Right Call
