2015-2016 Minnesota Wild...

the Central Division has always been a tough division to win... the Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks,last season,did not win the division,amazingly... they finished third,behind St. Louis,and Nashville... five Central Division teams made the Stanley Cup playoffs,last season... now,for the Minnesota Wild,they were a very tough team to play,they finished tied for fourth in fewest goals,in the NHL (201 goals,tied with the St. Louis Blues),and had a winning home and road record...  in their last 10 games,they were 6-3-1,and a tough out in the Stanley Cup playoffs... they beat the Blues in six games,and did lose to the Blackhawks in four games,but three of those games were one goal games,so Minnesota could have won,except for offensive firepower,and Chicago wore them down in four games... the team has not changed too much in the off-season,via trade or free agency,and that is good and bad,in the NHL... Ryan Suter(on defense),Thomas Vanek,Zach Parise,Mikael Granlund,and Mikko Koivu will power the team offensively and help defensively... the big question on the team is in goal,even though,Devan Dubnyk had a great year,after being traded from the Arizona Coyotes,halfway through last season,and had a save percentage of .936,with a 1.78 goals against average,for the Wild,during their home stretch and playoff run... is he the goaltender who is the franchise goaltender,that he was,for the Wild,or is he the goaltender who was traded to three teams over the last couple of years??? that is the $64,000 question,for the Wild to figure out,folks...
