Michael Russo of the Star Tribune has the updated the depth chart for the Minnesota Wild. Seems like the Wild have a lot more talent to work with than other years. It will be interesting to see if former Denver Pioneer Jason Zucker can make the Wild out of training camp or if he will need a year in the minors before he makes the Wild.
It also seems like the
Wild have a few pieces that they could trade if they had to. One question mark
is whether Wild forward Pierre-Marc Bouchard will be able to make a
comeback after suffering another concussion last season.
