Not like their centre depth was ever that good either, even though Wild fans will talk your ear off that Koivu is a legit #1C.

They were eliminated by the Blackhawks in 6 games in the 2nd round last year. And that was with Bryz-freaking-galov between the pipes. There's no doubt they should be a playoff team. They're underachieving this year, so I would be very weary of making any deals which might get them going on a run. We'll have enough trouble getting in the playoffs
without them in the mix.
