After trading fan and team favorite Eric Staal, the Wild will need a big season out of recently acquired Marcus Johansson.

Marcus Johansson is a 10-year NHL veteran on his 5th team in his career. Since Johansson left Washington he hasn’t really found a home. His first appearance for the Wild this season will mark his fourth team in the past three seasons.
