At the bottom of the depth chart, the Minnesota Wild have an interesting mix of players. A 25-year old rookie, an ancient-feeling 33 year old with multiple Stanley Cups, a local kid on his third team in four years, and a once-coveted forward looking to bounce back from some serious injuries.
Their roles and ice-time shifted as the Wild went through the ups and downs of injuries and absences, so it’s important to try to sift through all the noise and figure out how we can look back on each player’s respective seasons.
Nico Sturm
Sturm is an interesting case for the Wild.
