He had five points across the final 10 games of the 2006-07 season and 30 games at the start of the 2007-08 season. John Madden’s 25-point season in 2010-11 and Cliff Ronning’s 48-point season in 2002-03 to help the Wild to the Conference Final was a close second. Options at the center position were more limited than the wings, but the centers that were with the Wild for fewer than 100 games were impressive. Center: Dominic Moore (40 games, 5 points) Throughout his NHL career, he amassed 369 points in 650 games. He finished out his NHL career in Buffalo in 2018, before being demoted to the AHL, where he played for the Hershey Bears this past season.
For a deadline addition meant to bolster the offense for a playoff run, it wasn’t enough to be tied with Clayton Stoner and Matt Cooke for points in those playoffs.ĭespite his forgettable run with Minnesota, Moulson had three 30-goal seasons in the NHL, all with the New York Islanders. Through the 13 games the Wild played across two rounds in the playoffs, Moulson played 10, adding three points. Moulson arrived the year Minnesota advanced past Colorado with Nino Niederreiter’s overtime goal in Game 7, though he had limited contributions to the playoff run. The Moulson trade was an underwhelming point near the end of the Chuck Fletcher era, one of Fletcher’s many deadline moves during the Wild’s six-year playoff streak during which they failed to go beyond the second round. Left Wing: Matt Moulson (20 games, 13 points) Without further ado, the best starting line of forgotten Minnesota Wild players. Many will tweet their suggestions at me One person (it may or may not be may even wish Branko Radivojevic fit any of this criteria, but it was not to be. These objectionable criteria will generate six players, one starting line, with three forwards, two defensemen and a goaltender. Statistics for these players are from unless otherwise noted. Higher consideration granted to longevity in the NHL beyond the Wild and to extraordinary success (or lack thereof) in tenure with the Wild.
The rules of this selection? Much of it is subjective, but the core tenet is the player needs to have played fewer than 100 games for Minnesota. In the spirit of forgetting the rest of the 2020 NHL regular season, Zone Coverage wants to look at some forgotten NHL players that at one point made a stop in the State of Hockey.
In all reality, the NHL collectively said ‘let’s forget about those last few games and pretend they weren’t supposed to happen.’ At some point, the playoffs are even supposed to happen. It almost feels as though the hockey season was suspended so long ago that everyone collectively forgot the season wasn’t finished. At least, we think hockey is *probably* going to be back soon.
