Can The Wild Get Out Of The Gate Quickly?
Kukla's Korner (Free subscription) | 09/29/2009
from Rachel Blount of the Star Tribune, If the Wild is to return to the playoffs after missing out last season, it cannot afford to get out of the gate slowly.

Wild Puck Banter (Free subscription) | 03/29/2009
The Wild have a history of rushing its younger players to the NHL and I think it has really hurt them from a development standpoint. Sure, Marian Gaborik , Brent Burns and Pierre-Marc Bouchard are all examples of young players succeeding at an early stage, but in recent years it has clearly hurt the maturation and development of James Sheppard and Colton Gilles . Gilles should have spent this entire...
