Since the wild started as a franchise they have been a hard hitting defense focused hockey team with some success. They made it to the playoffs 3 times in there 8 year history. That's not too bad for an expansion team.
They are middle age hockey team at forward. Mikko Koivu was the point leader for them last year with 67 and assit leader with 47. Owen Nolan was the goal leader for them with 25. Nolan also lead forwards in plus minus with a +5.
They are middle age hockey team at defense. Marek Zidlicky was there point leader at defense with 42. Marc-Andre Burgeron was plus minus leader on defense with a plus 5.
Niklas Backstorm lead the team in net last year with 37 wins. He'll definitely get the nod in net this year too. As they look to push into the playoffs with a new offesne minded philosphy for the team. Don't think they won't be strong on defense though.
