Realistically, I think the Wild will be carried by Kaprizov his entire Wild career (hopefully, it is his entire, long career). But I think the weight of the team on his shoulders will depend on Rossi. His contributions to the team will be very important to how far they can go. If Rossi can more than show he belongs and that he should be skating with the top skilled players, it shouldn't be long before he is centering Kaprizov and Zuccarello. And honestly, I think a line of Foligno/Hartman/Gaudreau could be a very difficult line to play against. I know Hartman and Rossi are flip flopped right now, but if that change can happen, it will help the Wild more than just this season. If they truly want to re-sign Hartman, he will be cheaper as the 3rd C then he would be as the 1st C.
And Boldy also need to continue getting better. I guess the hope is Boldy and Johansson have the same chemistry that Boldy had with Fialalalalalala. |
