The Wild's new acquisition might not live up to his reputation as an ace penalty killer.
If you were making a list of things that the Wild need to address, it'd be their center position and their 26th-ranked penalty kill. So picking up a player who could address both areas sounds great. That was the logic behind Minnesota scooping Jarret Stoll off waivers on Tuesday.
Stoll, 33, has drawn a lot of praise as a penalty killer since his acquisition by the Wild. GM Chuck Fletcher called him "very good" short-handed. Devan Dubnyk, who played behind Stoll in Edmonton said "[He's] unreal on the penalty kill.
