Koivu / Seto / Heater / Lats / PMB and even Cullen need to be healthy for 75 games this season… the chances do not look great of that happening but if they can, they should find themselves into a 7th or 8th spot… if they lose anyone from the top line for a sig. amount of time, this squad could battle for a bottom 5 draft pick… I am not looking for my team to lose but if it happens it would be for the best long term seeing as there is 6 top elite picks joining next years class…. I would love for the Wild to have a chance at any of the wingers like Yakupov “not likely” / Forsberg / Grigorenko but would be equally happy with Murray / Dumba or Galchenyuk…. I would do back flips if we were able to land Forsberg or Grigorenko to team up with Granlund next year BOOM! but, let’s try and make the playoffs, anything can happen once you get into the dance. thanks,
