@TateLeferink@CoachRPMcCauley@RussoHockey@JoeSmithNHL Brink and Haight feel bottom 6 with Coleman slotting in with Ek and Boldy. I do think Yurov at the wing with Kaprizov would dominate. Obviously, Hartman is playing above his skill level in the top 6.
@TateLeferink@CoachRPMcCauley@RussoHockey@JoeSmithNHL Why? They are solid young players who are very capable. Yurov was a stud RW in the KHL. Brink will benefit from being in camp with the team. Stramel is big and talented he should get a legit shot. Haight looked great every time he was out there. He looks like an elite skater.
@Atothetease Quinn played at a 90 point pace for the Wild last season. That was coming in cold with no chemistry and no experience in our system. He is going to be close to 100 points over a full season with a full off season. Pay the man.
@CreaseAndAssist Bogosian is good for the young defensemen. He is a leader and mentor. He can also play on the 3rd pair if needed. He's solid for a 7th guy.
@1sportstake@CoachBGonzo Yurov, Stramel, Haight, and Brink have to contribute 38 pts each on average to replace the guys they lost. Brink and Yurov had 30ish points in minor roles. I think Yurov is moving to the wing and Stramel is going to center the 3rd line.
@tim_c_23 As a Wild fan, I would be completely satisfied keeping Yurov and Stramel. Yurov was productive as a rookie and looks like a solid two-way player. Stramel is a huge right shot net front type. He might top out as a 3C, maybe more. Late 1st round picks are lottery tickets.
