Mid-Season Grades: D2... Not the awesome Mighty Ducks Movie

Next up, defensive paring number 2 for the Minnesota Wild. It now consists of Jonas Brodin and Greg Pateryn, not what we envisioned to start the season. However, circumstances have brought the Wild to this position and they must fight through it, much like a lot of other teams. We think sometimes we have good depth at a certain position and one injury can destroy your thinking quite fast. Beginning of last season, if you were to tell a majority of Wild fans (including myself) that losing Dumba would change the defensive landscape, I would have scoffed and turned the other way and roasted you behind your back, the Minnesota way of doing things.
