The Wild's gamble on their prospects is not paying off

When the Minnesota Wild’s season started, they boasted a roster stocked with recent draft picks and young prospects. Just two weeks into the season three of those players have already been reassigned to the AHL (although one is already back). Management’s reliance on solving their line-up issues from within seems to be part of the slow start to the season. So, where do they go from here?

In general manager Bill Guerin’s ideal world Hunter Haight, Danila Yurov, Liam Ohgren, Daemon Hunt, Zeev Buium, Jesper Wallstedt, and David Jiricek would not have been on the opening night roster.
