for Gustafson actually is going to raise his season long total.

It's just crazy how good they are top to bottom.

And I mean, it's, it's one of those things where obviously it's setting up for just because one team can win it, inevitable heartbreak.

But I mean, this is a team where built as is,

Potentially, another move coming on the market here down the pike looks like a team that can and should make some sort of a really deep run.

And if it ends real quick with a first-round exit, then it's like, what else does this franchise need to do?

But as of right now, maybe one of the most confident I've ever been in a Minnesota Wild team.

And that's a, that last point is something that Jeremy chimes in here in the chat with, he says, quote, are we worried about Foligno's production?

If he's at home on the fourth line, um, it's been a struggle for him this season to create offensively.

And I think some of that goes back to, um, the early days of this team.

I mean, he was in a more prominent role where you would expect some sort of production where he's on a third line, but that was mainly during that month of October where they were just pretty abysmal.

If we're being honest, um,

The play that we've seen from him kind of lately, fourth line, he looks more settled.

He looks calm.

He looks healthy, which I think is the key thing there for what we've seen from him for the first time this year.

I'm not as concerned with that, but he does have a scoring touch we've seen where if he does have chances that come his way, he hasn't gotten so far, at least in the couple games in the fourth line back that we've seen him.

The Tyler Pitlick or Ben Jones maybe breakaway

that they have had every once in a while because of their speed.

They have that dynamic speed to them.

But Foligno, if he does get a chance, I think I would love to see him bury it.
