Minnesota Wild = Overrated?


Recommended Posts

As a Wild fan, I see a team that is still trying to become a team on offense (aside from the first line.)

The defence is still young and learning. Look at how many of their D-men are just recently playing a full season the past 2-3 years. The core of the D is all new/prospects still learning.

Goaltending looks like we have our "for now" goalies with our future still coming up.

So to the subject of this thread... I don't think the Wild are "overrated" as long as it's in the context of being a decent team that could/should make the playoffs depending on how long it takes the rest of the team to become a team. The longer that takes, the less likely the chances of making playoffs (this year.) Are they on contention for a Cup? Doubt it. Could they make a run? Stranger things have happened.

Parise is over rated.

MIN got an awesome Dman in Suter and a solid 2 way player in Parise, but Parise is way over rated.

The Wild has a lot of talent coming up over the next few years. They will be a very good team sin the next couple of years.

Parise scored 69 Pts last year. To say NJD wound't have made the playoffs without him is a stretch to say the least.

A good player can be over rated. Parise is a good player, Not a $98 mill with $35 mill over 3 years player. He's not a superstar. There was an advanced stat comparison done of Semin vs Parise, They are essentially the same player, Semin even has an edge. This is defensively and offense, all facets of the game.
