Next Year Will Feel Like A Crossroads For the Wild’s Defense – Minnesota Wild
At the end of the Minnesota Wild’s season, Bill Guerin gave the State of Hockey little reason to speculate about the team’s blueline. “Our [defense] core is set, I’d like to focus on forwards,” the general manager flatly declared.
