Ideal Wild game 3 change

This is correct. But I’d bet MoJo stays in.

Question, if another player got in the lineup before Parise does, is that the final straw and we've seen his last game in a Wild sweater? Or are we already at that point no matter how the playoffs go?

I don’t think Parise has a contract with the Wild next year. Whether he comes in during this series or not, I think we are looking at mutual contract termination.

Parise hasn't played well against VGK. I'd put him in if it was COL.

It's more about skillsets to me. None of Parise, MarJo, Bjugstad, or Bonino are suited to play next to Fiala, Kaprizov, or Zucc. The Greenway/JEE/Foligno line is working too well to split up. They don't have a center to push Hartman or Sturm to a wing with Fiala. The taxi squad isn't good for more than a 4th line filler. Mayhew is a very good AHL player, but not a NHL player.

This just leaves Boldy as the best untried option MN has to play with the skill wings.

I could see him basically saying, "trade me, buy me out, I don't care I just want to play" We'll see which way it goes this summer. I hope he's able to work hard in the off season and can be a producing 4th liner next year.



I agree that Boldy would be best suited on Fiala's line someday, maybe not tomorrow. MarJo has been brutal lately.
