Minnesota is Wild

With Kurtis Foster signing a deal today for 1-year, $1.025 million, the Wild are pretty much ready to go, but they still have quite a bit of room to move if they like someone who is still on the list of free agents.

This roster is worth about $41 million, but there seems to always be a snag with the Minnesota Wild. Injuries. Last season, when they were a healthy team, they were quite powerful. Unfortunately, Gaborik only played 48 games... Demitra missed 11 games... Foster missed 25 games... some key guys missed a lot of key games. When thinking about your potential pool team, it's a buyer beware team in Minnesota.

The roster as it stands is very competitive, not like the Northwest needs more competition. The Wild will be a very hard team to play against if the team stays healthy. They'll need Marian Gaborik to play a full season and the playoffs are quite likely.
