The Minnesota Wild have been slowly sinking the last couple of weeks. It certainly doesn’t help that the majority of their scheduled games have been postponed due to various COVID outbreaks among their opponents — only Jonas Brodin has been caught with a positive test among Wild players this season, and luckily he was asymptomatic — making the space between results and the time to look back on losses much larger than normal.
With this relative underperformance, it is only natural to look at what other players are available for our favorite hockey club and to ponder why the Hell aren’t they playing for the Wild right now?
