We are gonna be very good in a couple years. Add in a free agent signing like Parise…

Let him develop and come up with the next batch of kids coming up and if nothing else he is an asset for a franchise that far too often hasn’t had enough of them.

Especially now with how well the pick up of Nick Johnson has turned out to be. Let him play max minutes in Juniors and watch out for a massive yooth movement in Minny in the next one – two years. If the Wild hit the jackpot in next years draft (Skinner / Fowler) type player, they will be a very promising young squad!
