The riches that the Minnesota Wild have, at least between having the option to interchange Mathew Dumba and Jared Spurgeon alongside Ryan Suter, are enviable.
Ryan Suter, for now, remains the bonafide number one defenseman for the Minnesota Wild. Until their most recent game, Jaded Spurgeon was always seen as his number two and always somewhat undervalued in that role.
Against the Winnipeg Jets, Matt Dumba took on a much larger load than usual. If him and Suter mesh well, this is great news for the Minnesota Wild. That’s 100-plus points that pairing alone could be offering, especially partnered with the first and second line, no doubt.
