Description
The wild have been making the playoffs every year since 2013 and yet they have not been able to go beyond the second round in all those years.
What needs to change to make this team go deep in the playoffs?
For me it's obvious Boudreau needs to get fired, i never liked his coaching style and he's never winning a Stanley Cup.

dumba and zucker will get more than that. they have 15m tied up with parise and sutter, they sign koivu who hasn't scored 20 goals since 09-10 season and 60 points since the same season to 2 more years through 37 with nmc, they don't have a elite #1C, there only elite scorer they have on the team is turning 34 and about to get paid pretty damn well, along tyler ennis, foligno, coyle's bad year, nino\s bad year, etc. wild need to deconstruct in order to construct again.

How is Staal not a #1 center after the 2 seasons he just had? Granlund is really good too for me that's a good center line.
Only thing i see wrong with this team is their lack of good right wingers. All their guys are pretty much left-handed apart from Kunin. Maybe getting an elite RW is a solution?

I would suggest you go back to your old trade partner Buffalo Sabres and look to acquire ROR.

In the deal you include Ennis, Koivu, possibly Spurgeon (to save $5,000,000 in cap) even with ROR $7.5 the savings from moving those 3 players is over $14 Million. Now what piece(s) would you need to include in the deal for the Sabres to take on those contracts...... I will let you decide.

I think what your team needs to do is purge the bad contracts giving up a piece(s) which will be a step back in order to move forward in 2019/2020.

ok fine. but the dude is turning 34 he is going to slow down someday. he is the only good scorer on this team. it will take more than a elite RW. they need to get rid of parise which isn't happening, they should move on from koivu, get rid of ennis, foligno, etc before even thinking of getting any improvements.

Honestly I'm bewildered as well. On paper, they have all the pieces they need, from the three F positions, to D, to G.

I don't know if coaching IS an issue, but in these instances, that's the first place I'd look into. Not just Boudreau, but the entire unit. Does it have to do with the play style imposed?
