This Minnesota Wild season has been full of surprises. No one truly knew how greatly the addition of Kirill Kaprizov would affect every single aspect of this franchise and the near future. Especially with so many changes throughout the roster, it was hard to really pinpoint whether or not this team was going to be any good, or just float in the wind as we look for minor improvements from young players and the established players get another year older.
Well, thank goodness we didn’t have to think about that.
Minnesota has been the surprise of the season and is on their way to another playoff appearance that will most likely be against the Vegas Golden Knights—a team that they have more than stood up against through this season.
