At Least We Have the World Jrs. During Break

Re: At Least We Have the World Jrs. During Break

Minnesota Wild prospects with three of the five goals. Not to mention, three Wild prospects wearing the "C" in this tournament - Zucker (USA), Grandlund (Finland), and Larsson (Sweden).

Future is looking bright for Wild fans

Who else besides Zucker? With the Wild doing well this year, does that mean they'll leave our college boyz in school?

Zucker and Coyle. Not sure who they'll sign after this year. I'd say Zucker is pretty ready.

With Coyle leaving BU and going to the Q, I would assume he signs after this season.

Wonder what the Wild thought of Coyle leaving BU?

Sweden defeated Canada. I believe the final was 5-3.

They need scoring desperately, so probably not. The Wild are not as good as their record.

They've also been devastated by injuries (at one point were without 5 of their top 6 forwards), so they aren't as bad offensively as some say.

Even with Koivu and Setoguchi they were among the last teams in scoring. They relied on an insanely young d-corps and goalies playing out of their minds to get their 20 wins.

I may be wrong, but before Seto, Lats, and Koivu got hurt, they were middle of the league in scoring. You're right though, they do need some offensive firepower.
