Jero the Minnesota Wild fanbase is a tricky one to engage because they honestly do NOT participate like that of other fanbases especially the original six teams and canadian teams.
Our group here is very smart group of Minnesota Wild fans that CHOOSE to participate at Hockeybuzz. That is where I come from Eric our site runner at HB featured a couple of my MyHockeybuzz fan blogs and offered me a gig after I submitted my other writing contributions elsewhere.
looking around the inter-webs though not many successful or stable Minnesota Wild content sites exist so it is really just Russo & Graf as beat writers and a smattering of randos. Still doing as much pushing as I do all over social media it is tough to get Minnesota Wild fans to latch on and engage although not to toot my own horn but for the month of JUNE 2014 I had 74K unique views for my content which is validating that my content is being seen at a kinda crazy rate!
There is a Fan Blog site out there that does all right for themselves too.
My friend Derek Felska who has his own site State of Hockey News does good work he is the gentlemen I colloborated with on the State of the Wild Podcast before the Draft & FA.
Believe you me, I try to strategize on how to build the community of hockey fans/opinions/takes and foster very intelligent hockey discussions here at the WildHBcommunity. I have even branched out to pushing Ek and others to include me in Webcasts to make sure we talk MNWild hockey!

Keep it going man, it's good to see a writer with integrity. But if you do get desperate for hits, let me give you a list if sure fire winners ....you just might want to get a Mod to keep things under control though .
"Avoiding the Oilers curse: how to develop young players the right way"
"Attracting quality free agents:Why Minnesota has become the destination where Vancouver and Toronto no longer are"
" wild a great example for the Sabres to follow".
I'm sure you can write pieces on all of those subjects.
