No Bracco isn't a NHLer, neither is Petan, Kaprizov is better than all of them and Sturm will surprise you Ho-sang might break the Wild line up but not top line.

I agree. As a duck fan I think any team in the west should claim all 3 of those guys and play them all season in the top 9.

Petan, Ho-Sang, and Bracco belong in an AHL top 9, not an NHL one. If you want to take a gamble on one or two of them, fine, but they don't push a guy like Kaprizov out of the lineup (or the top 6 for that matter)

As a Wild fan, I agree and think Anaheim should "take one for the team", as it were.

Too bad some have already cleared waivers (Bracco cleared)

Shucks, too bad

You’d have picked up a very productive AHL 2nd line. Lol.

......we'd be no better off than without them.

There I finished the title.

I mean if the goal is a top 3 pick, yes, they absolutely should pick up all 3 and play them in the top 9 while having their best NHL ready prospect on the taxi squad. Rask and Hartman are absolutely better than any guy on waivers today. lol

The fact that you put Kaprizov on the taxi squad invalidates your entire post (which is dumb on its own merit anyway).

Gee, you've made three great additions to the Wild......if they want to tank
