The team has a hell of a lot more problems that one offseason won’t fix. Russo assumed the secondary scoring was the biggest thing, but maybe other players that would have done that scoffed at the team’s offer. He decided instead to say, « Hmm…you know, our PK is ALSO pretty fucking garbage. I might be able to do a little bit to help that. »

It’s hard to be excited when you’re banking on players that should be on the 4th line bringing up your scoring.

Not sure what he expected them to do this offseason. You’re not going to get caviar with a potato chip budget.
If he thinks there was someone available that fit the bill for the price the Wild was able to pay – I’d like to see names. Until then, he can STFU. (He’s becoming as annoying as the rest of the KFAN morons.)

if Marco Rossi and Hartman can each pot 25 or more goals this season we’ll be fine

Well, Billy G have the game away when he said a few weeks ago that this entire season is predicted on guys having « better years » out whatever the quote was. Here’s the problem, giving Freddy, Hartman, Johansen, and the likes, contracts based on outlier years and expecting them to play that way all the time is idiotic. The team and those players came back to reality and their actual playing capabilities. It will be another year of abysmal hockey with that and this signing as the adjustments.
