Minnesota Wild: Haula’s Production Will Continue This Season

One of last season’s biggest surprises for the Minnesota Wild was the rise of Erik Haula as one of the team’s best forwards. The beginning of the season looked as if the Wild would see another underperforming year from the Finnesotan, who struggled to put together 29 points over his first two NHL seasons. With a $1 million cap hit and what could be called a lackluster performance, it looked like the Wild were beginning to make plans to move on after his current deal expired.

Then enter the second half of the season. So good was Haula’s second half versus his first half he scored 23 of his 34 points from February 9th to the end of the season.
