bleacher report articles

Anybody read these regularly? - I find some of them to be quite informative and/or interesting, so I thought that I'd start a thread to post those that pertain to the Wild.

Here's their take on who should step up and who might well take a step back in the '13-'14 season.

likely overachievers/underachievers

No great insights here, but a good overall assessment of the 'young guns' on the squad, & what they'll need to bring to the ice this upcoming season.

Not sure what the first article saw in Zucker last year as he didn't play much and I saw nothing special from him while he was playing but I am optimistic that they young guys can step up and help, just not as much as the author from BR. Granlund showed me he was no where near NHL ready yet and Coyle played ok considering it was his first full year in the NHL. Nino will be the wild card I think. Should be a fun year none the less.

I find myself reading Bleacher Report quite often. They touch up on a lot of issues. Still tho, I take a lot of their articles with a grain of salt. I just like how they write about everything LOL

Zucker did really well with the Houston Aeros last season. Not too great with the Wild, but I think his AHL performance got people to take notice of him.

Yes he did play well with the Aeros but that doesn't count in the bigs. He showed flashes while on the Wild roster but nothing that really stood out to me.

This one is just a general summation of what Minny needs from top to bottom as they head into training camp.

Bleacher Report (like everyone else!) is expecting big things from El Nino:

Niederretier's 2nd chance

El Nino starts off quick with a goal last night battling in front of the net. Good sign for him but a slow start for everyone. Just got outskated till the end.
