wcblack34 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 The Wild are within striking distance of the #1 seed in the West. To do that with Kaprizov sidelined is quite a feat. Hopefully they can keep their momentum going and make a deep run into the playoffs. Boston might just be too good for anyone to overcome this season though. Regardless, Boldy and Kaprizov give them a great core to build around. I'm hoping Wallstedt can make the jump next year to at least be the #2 Goalie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopherwrestler Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 just this pitching staff looks like +500 ball. Been a while since you could say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Royce Lewis, Alex Kiriloff, Jorge Polanco, and even Brooks Lee are pretty good guys and they aren’t on opening day. The year should be fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Royce is your starting CF at some point, with Buck mostly DHing....Obviously, a productive Polanco is huge, and Lee looks like a future star....Plus, they have three legit SP in AAA, imo, if not five of them.

With Prielipp and Raya not far behind. it’s really interesting that they’ve taken a versatility approach to dealing with injury prone players. The ability to move guys around and rest them when necessary is a pretty good idea when they have explosive talent that hasn’t been reliable.

Nick Gordon fits the role also. And apparently Gallo, if he hits. They definitely went for depth this year. If either pitcher you mention hits their ceiling, that would be huge.

JDBrocks Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 They are really banking on the elimination of the shift to help Kepler. I hate the rule change, but I hope they are right about the benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not an elite hockey mind by ANY means but by the process of elimination i would think somewhere on the 3rd line. You arent breaking up the Kap-Hart-Zucc line, you also cannot break up the chemistry that the 2nd line has developed between MarJo-Ek-Boldy, And i think hes way too skilled to be put on the 4th line. Quality problem to have and hopefully he can help out the PP. Maybe he takes Sundqvist's spot on the 3rd line and Sunny drops down to the 4th?
