Just finished listening this episode. You , Kalisha and Theresa bring some thoughts to think about future Wild perspectives, how to protect star players, how to be more grittier especially against Jets. Talks about enforcers for the team are important too. You are right regarding the role of NHL to take care of star players like McDavid, Matthews, Bedard, Kaprizov... to prevent their injuries. I think that was done in a past for Gretzky protection. Without stars hockey is losing attraction. To place Maroon in the line with Kaprizov is kind of questionable answer. I agree with you for that part, but how about of insertion of enforcers (to build among prospects) into our defense. Maybe that will help to make our team more grittier. Personally for me, Kulikov was an example of enforcer in a past for Kaprizov's protection. I do not think we have those type of players now in defense position. Not sure yet about Bogosian.
