Still waiting for picks. In the mean time, from a friend that's a MN-born Wild fan. He probably plays too much NHL 13:

 

Why are people calling him the backup in Houston when he has played twice as many games as their other goalie?

Don't forget what's already in the system. And these kids will be 23 and 25 in 3 years.

 

 

I think that is it entirely. Our scoring center of the future is Grigo. CoHo is our other scoring center. Add Larrson + Girgensons in the 3/4 roles and in a couple of years we look a whole lot stronger down the middle.

 

Pretty clear Miller won't be here beyond next year. Vanek? Who knows?

Larsson has 37 points in 62 games in the AHL, he is hardly tearing it up. This is pure ######. I hope we have a first and a second and a third coming back. Otherwise DR just gave up our best forward for no reason. And in doing so, just gave up Vanek and Miller

I don't defend that guy. I know more about hockey than him, so take that as you will. Nice guy though.

And he is with the Wild right now.

I've seen it mentioned one other time too. Kind of an odd statement.

No one said he was tearing it up. He is said to be a top prospect.

If Hackett has game it sets up the summer, and next year nicely.

Interesting. Thanks for the legwork.

 

Here's my question: does anyone know whether Larsson is really a center? i.e. has he been playing center in the AHL this year? (Not half a season at center in Europe 5 years ago)?

 

I've read that he's listed as a LW but has been playing center.

Right. Hackett's AHL stats this year: 19-20-3, no SOs, 2.66 GA (28th place out of 48 players), .907 save %. By comparison, Leggio is 35-21-1 with a 2.53 GAA (20th place) and a .924 save %.

Wild fan friend:

 

"You got our best goalie prospect and number 3 forward prospect. But I love this trade."

 

Of COURSE he does... they are in a great position to win... we're rebuilding. I hope he is very successful in Minnesota. I'll miss him.... but not NEAR as much as Danny Briere. O Danny Boy.... :(

We need talent. We have enough bottom 6 scrubs. We now need 3 top 6 players. It will be 4 top 6 players when we have to trade Vanek. Our goalies next season are Enroth and Hackett and our top 6 is Ennis and Hackett...

 

Looks like we might be in for a 3+ year rebuild
