Minnesota Wild: A Chance For Some Younger Depth In Goal?

Jared Coreau of the Anaheim Ducks is the latest waived player that I think would make a good pick-up for the Minnesota Wild.

The Minnesota Wild organisation has plenty of goaltending depth; however the majority of it is thirty or above. Coreau offers, as with most waivers options, a low-risk bet on a young guy that may yet prove to be at least NHL backup standard.

We’ve looked at how Andrew Hammond has a chance at the team and Alex Stalock has the backup spot as his to lose, but beyond that we’re waiting for the development of Kaapo Kahkonen to reach a point where an NHL promotion is awarded to him.
