Tuch would have been big for the Wild this season. He's everything Coyle won't ever be, and Niederreiter couldn't have been (injury) this season. Put him on the wing with Staal this season and that line would have been dynamic.
The problem with Haula is that he was one of the guys that Fletcher was willing to let twist in the wind, and Boudreau never got comfortable with him. Haula wasn't going to get top 6 minutes with the Wild this season, so it's hard to say he'd have had the same season in Minny that he has in Vegas.
