Mid-Season Grades: The first line hasn’t been close to what it needs to be.

The first line that started this season has only one constant - Eric Staal. While you could have told that a line with Staal would be a dominant offensive force for the Wild, it just hasn’t been that at all. Today we open up the mid-season grades as the Wild are deep into their All-star break/Bye week. We are breaking up the the groups by lines and pairings from the most last active roster.

As we go along we’ll offer up stats, context, and sum it all up with a final letter grade to their performance.
