As a Wild fan I'm very excited. Only one game but he proved I was far too cautious about him...guy is a player and looked mature out there.
"It's only one game"
"The Kings suck"
"The Wild still have a long ways to go"
etc
Let us have this moment!!

Seems like the team finally has some offensive talent. It's seriously been a while since the team has had someone to get excited over offensively.
It's always good to see these strong defensive teams get a little spark for the other side.

As a Fiala and Kaprizov owner...... I NEED THEM TO PLAY ON THE SAME LINE PLEASE!!! Just the PP isnt enough!
One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.
Or the first time ever...outside of maybe Gaborik in their infancy. Suddenly there's a lot to like between the Kaprizov excitement, Fiala's coming out party last year, drafting Rossi, Boldy's WJC performance, etc. Here's hoping the club is finally headed in the right direction.
Assist on the OT winner tonight!
booom. i unexpectedly got him in a new keeper league. i thoguht for sure i wouldnt be the guy to snap him up - didnt want a rookie early. but i got him and im enjoying the ride!

Kaprizov was lined up with Fiala for parts of the 3rd period. Sadly they didnt score. I hope they go back to it, Fiala has 13 sogs through 2 games hes due lol

Just wait til those 2 (Fiala/Kap) actually get a legit center or two to play with...
Bjugstad...Johansen...Rask...Ek, sorry, not exactly top of the pile there, there isn't a single one of them who would be thought of as a strong #2 center, hell most of them wouldn't even be a #2 center on almost any other NHL team.
As a Rossi and Kap owner, I am very very excited for the possibilities that combo could bring.

Theres precedent for a solid/average centre playing between 2 star wingers and producing just fine like brendan morrison with naslund and bertuzzi.
I think its a matter of time until they just play fiala and kappy together as goals are going to be hard to come by on this team. If they do, I have faith both Kappy and Fiala can put up 45-50 pt seasons in 56 games.
Bonino is probably their best bet as he had success with the HBK line a few years ago in Pit and wins a good chunk of faceoffs.

What level of player would you say he ends up being based on what you've seen and his skill? Like on the A. Svechnikov, Laine, tier? Keller, Boeser, Yamamoto level? Marchand? Somewhere in between. Maybe Ovi? lol just kidding about that last one.

haha i dont think any of us really know. hes young, talented, and getting top line and PP1. going for leading scorer on that team through his prime. Hopefully that means point per game?

That’s kind of what I was thinking. Don’t want to get too far ahead of myself. But he looks like he could be a point per game player and that would likely put him up there with guys like , Hubs, Laine. Above guys like Connor, Boeser, etc..
Which is crazy if true. Will be well worth the wait. And the thought of him and Rossi together is interesting. The only issue I see is that both of them are like 5’9”. They’d need some height and muscle on that line. Kunin could have been ideal. Shame. I’m sure they’ll find someone.
