The Wild's gamble on their prospects is not paying off

The Wild's Gamble on Prospects

The Minnesota Wild's season has not started as planned, with their young prospects failing to make an impact. Despite boasting a roster stocked with recent draft picks, the team has struggled, and three of these players have already been reassigned to the AHL.

Management's reliance on solving lineup issues from within is seen as a contributing factor to the slow start. General manager Bill Guerin had not envisioned having so many young players on the opening night roster, including Hunter Haight, Danila Yurov, and Jesper Wallstedt.

Injuries to key players like Mats Zuccarello and Nico Sturm have also disrupted the team's plans. As the season progresses, the Wild must reassess their strategy and find a way to turn their season around.

The best laid plans are often undone by unexpected injuries.
