This was a lost season for the Minnesota Wild. Interim Head Coach John Torchetti was able to rally to get them into the playoffs. But their first round series with Dallas has taught us that this team will not win the Stanley Cup with the current roster. They are at best capable of putting up a fight against the NHL’s top teams.
That was not supposed to be the case this year, the Wild looked like a team that would be fighting for a top seed in the Western Conference. Instead they backed in as an eight seed and their play seems to reflect that is who they are.
