I can see some guys waived before the season starts. Really want to see how Sturm is gonna play with the Ek Line. They seem to be comparable in terms of skill set. I want your comments and your suggestions as usual.

I would love this to happen but not that realistic
Coach will likely keep, foligno, ek, greenway
Also will probably keep zuc with kaprizov

I don't think MN stacks 1 line like that. Things would have to go really wrong during the season and they would be riding that line 22 mins a night.

Not a fan of the 2 rookies + Zucc 3rd line. I think it'll be a recipe for disaster and ends up a very - line when it's on the ice.

I like the idea of Sturm between Greenway/Foligno.

I think they are going to run Fiala on a line with Gaudreau for 10-15 games until it works or it doesn't. I think Rossi ends up as Fiala's center by the middle of the season.

Brodin/Dumba and Goligoski/Spurgeon to start the year. Just for a little consistency from last season and lets Goligoski gets comfortable in the Wild's systems. Brodin/Spurgeon hasn't been a great pair in the (limited) times they've been paired together.
