The Minnesota Wild aren’t scoring enough goals to win games. It’s a simple problem that they have had all season long — compared to the other short-lived issues like goaltending and penalty killing — and while we can most likely chalk up the drop in production to losing some key forward for a significant amount of time due to injury, the team might just be lacking offensive talent.
That is why GM Bill Guerin is reportedly looking for not just any forward, but someone to step into the Wild’s top-six immediately.
It was hidden a little bit in Michael Russo’s latest post at The Athletic, but this little tidbit was only assumed but not reported on to being this specific.
