Analyzing the Minnesota Wild’s Top Nine with Three Pairs

Related Topics: Chuck Fletcher

So, last week we took a look at my theory that the Wild as a team basically played with one hand tied behind its back by throwing out a forward group sharply divided between a solid top six and a dreadful bottom six. And I suggested in fun that perhaps GM Chuck Fletcher had found Corsi Religion and that he took a cleaver to the bottom of the roster as his best chance to improve the team for this season. If you recall, the eight forwards from last season GMCF kept include Niederreiter, Pominville, Koivu, Granlund, Parise, Zucker, Coyle and Haula.
