This is the final portion of my breakdown of Rob Vollman’s latest edition of The Hockey Abstract and it couldn’t come at a better time with the injury depleted Minnesota Wild sitting at 1-1-2 to start the season. Today: the coaching staff and the prospect pool.
There are already a lot of things you could say when looking at both. Bruce Boudreau has historically never been able to break through the ceiling of a Conference Final despite several President’s Trophy-winning clubs. The Iowa Wild, though completing the league’s biggest turnaround last season, have been consistently on the outside-looking-in at the AHL playoffs in the Central Division.
