I don't think they made a splash for a center is because none would sign in MN.
The team doesn't look good right now, just in the last 12 months:
1. dumped Staal to get around his NTC.
2. Treated Parise badly and publicly.
3. Buyout Parise (understandable) and Suter (wtf). Really messing up the longterm cap.
4. No deals for Kaprizov or Fiala,
5. Bonino and Cole (GMBG wanted both of them back)both bolted for other teams for similar money.
6. Trade Menell because he made the GM mad.
7. The mess that the Cities are/have been.
8. Just the way the GM talks. Good teams talk about winning, Playoffs, going after a Cup; bad teams talk about building character. BG has said much more about building character a lot more than about building a winning team.
Players talk. Agents talk. I'm really curious to know what they are saying about the Wild organization this offseason.
