The Future is Bright but the Present is Murky for the Wild

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we react to The Athletic naming the Minnesota Wild prospect pool the best in the NHL. We look at how their recent picks are doing, and how Judd Brackett has managed to find quality players without the luxury of top picks. We then attempt to answer why despite current struggles at the NHL level we haven't seen any of those prospects get a call to help the current roster. We discuss the job Bill Guerin has in front of him, with a struggling team, and why evaluating the current roster to see who is a fit beyond this year is the most important part of the season right now. We also discuss whether or not Dean Evason is currently up for evaluation himself. All in All, before Bill Guerin can add future prospects to the mix, he has to find out what works and what doesn't at the NHL level.
