Wild Start Potentially Bad Road Trip In Utah
By Thomas Williams – 13 hours ago
That’s Wild
The Minnesota Wild are facing an injury crisis and now they have to deal with a hearty push for the playoffs without two of their best impact players. We have become familiar with what this team looks like without Kirill Kaprizov but now that Joel Eriksson Ek is out with an injury he further aggravated at practice the other day — according to Michael Russo, it looks to be a six-to-eight week timeline for the Wild center — this team has taken a massive hit.
A center depth of Marco Rossi, Frederick Gaudreau, Ryan Hartman, and Devin Shore isn’t all that inspiring for a team wanting to push into having home-ice advantage in the first round. We’ll let it play out, but with the Wild going on a small road trip that features a game against a hungry Utah team and the Colorado Avalanche, it might be hard to stomach.
Off the trail…

The road trip won’t be pretty. NoJo should produce offensively and be physical beast. Skol NoJo.

Its time to use LTIR and go all in on at least a top 6 forward without giving up Rossi or Faber. No to Boeser or Nelson! Go after the big dogs that get you a shot at the cup.

Who are the big dogs to go after though? Unfortunately, Boeser and Nelson are towards the top of most lists of players that are rumored to be available.
