      There was a story I read, I think on NHL.com, in which Fletcher talked about the draft and the fact that Minnesota doesn't have a first or second round pick this year.

      He said that statistics show that if you want to be an average NHL program you must draft two players who will play 100+ NHL games for you each draft. He described that as the "baseline" an NHL team needs to achieve just to be "average." He pointed out that statistic to emphasize the point of later round picks, since he says the Wild and other teams obviously try to get 3 or more players each draft who will play 100+ games for them, so they can be "above average."

      So I was bored today and I decided to go back and look at the Wild draft record. In the 17 drafts thus far in their history, they have achieved the "average" of drafting two players who went on to play 100+ games for them six times, none since 2010 when Granlund and Zucker were drafted. Now, in fairness, some of the recent draft picks haven't really had a chance yet. But I don't see a lot of 100+ game NHL candidates out of '11 and '12 other than Brodin and Dumba, respectively.

      The Wild drafted "above average" only twice, their first two drafts.

      Jonas Brodin is #8 all time in games played for the Wild by a Wild draft pick.
      This is typical for all the Minnesota teams. They claim they need to draft someone for big minutes in the first round and then the player never plays.

          When NHL teams win the Stanley Cup, they often celebrate with a $50,000 bar tab.

          When their minor league affiliates win the Calder Cup, the celebration is a bit more...modest.

              LA decides to protect 8 skaters, leaving Quick unprotected.

              @mayorNHL: Can confirm...

              LA Kings protected Kopitar, Carter, Toffoli, Pearson, Doughty, Muzzin, Martinez, Forbort

                Every team must protect a goalie so Quick will be.
                They are just protecting less players than going the 7-3 route.

                  Ah no. You can protect 7-3-1 or 8.

                        Not sure what skaters the Red Wings are protecting, but they've protected Howard over Mrazek.

                            Guessing they have to due to a NTC or something like that but still, lol. That team is horribly mismanaged and has been for a while.

                              Holland, with his ridiculous level of player favoritism/loyalty, is not going to be the GM to rebuild the Wings.

                              That said, they had no choice but to protect Howard, due to his NMC.

                                Nah, Jimmy wasn't a mandatory protection. Only has a modified NTC, he could have been exposed.

                                It's either Kenny is rolling the dice that LV won't be terribly interested in Petr, or there's something behind the curtain with attitude or lack of progression, and he couldn't find a trade for him.

                                I say this while also agreeing that they probably need to let Kenny walk after this year when his contract is up.
