Gerry Mayhew was caught treading water in the Minnesota Wild organization since he graduated college and began his professional hockey career, until the Philadelphia Flyers decided to move him to a different NHL organization for the first time this summer and he quickly won over the fans during his increased opportunity.
Of course, for the Wild — a team that has decent forward depth and is actually trying to win hockey games and succeeding at it — Mayhew didn’t have much of a chance to prove anything and appeared in just 17 games for the first team since signing in 2017.
