Feldmarschall 9 Report post Posted June 11, 2008 They must be counting on some strong coaching to unscrew that kid in his own zone and instill a proper defensive work ethic. If he can be worked into a better two-way defenseman, he'll do just fine in the league. Doubt it'll happen, but Minnesota apparently thought otherwise.

He's absolutely atrocious in his own end. *Hits head on desk* I'm a Michigan transplant living in the State of Hockey, and let me just say something: Why on God's green earth would they make this move?!!!! THE #1 reason this team cannot succeed with all the offensive talent they have on this roster is that they can't get the puck moving from the back end. They lack a real point man on the power play, and when that guy is a forward (Brian Rolston) they can't commit all the resources they need to getting to the net because they have to have another guy play responsibly and cover his ass in case he gets caught. Until the Wild make a big committment to a top-flight defenseman who can play the 25-30 minutes a game and do all the things I talked about, the Wild are just talk themselves. If I were a Wild fan, which I'm not, I would be pissed. This move makes absolutely no sense. Watching the Wild is like watching paint dry on my eyeballs, and Lemaire is too pompous to change his strategy to fit his players or today's game. What a joke. I think the honeymoon is about over in St. Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
