Through 24 minutes, last night's Wild-Jets game was looking to be every bit of the grind-it-out defensive game we expected to see. En route to playing the Wild to a 1-1 stalemate in the first, the Jets did a very good job of bottling up the home team. Four minutes into the next period, it was looking like it would be more of the same, as Winnipeg wasn't allowing any sustained time in the offensive zone.
Over the last week or so, there's been a healthy amount of debate as to what kind of player you should build the bottom of an NHL roster around.
