Minnesota Wild: How To Handle To Log-Jam On Defense
If there’s one position the Minnesota Wild don’t lack depth, it’s on defense. Granted, their top-six doesn’t place in a truly elite tier, but it sure as heck comes quite close.
At the top of the pile is Ryan Suter, now a seasoned veteran with the Minnesota Wild, who can be relied upon for forty to fifty points a year. He, however, is a bit of a problem given his age (he’s now thirty-three) and the fact he carries a $7.5 million cap hit until the 2024-25 season, when he’ll be very much a grizzled veteran.
Barring, of course, him demonstrating the same impressive physical feats as Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins, who keeps putting up the minutes despite being the wrong side of forty.
