Bad timing to have Dumba and Addison injured at the same time.

Status: online 		I just saw this on the Athletic in Russo's gamer after last nights brutal game.

Defenseman Calen Addison, who suffered an upper-body injury last week, has been cleared to return and was expected to practice with the Iowa Wild on Friday. Wild general manager Bill Guerin said Friday morning he didn’t anticipate recalling Addison for the upcoming road trip, but he had yet to have the conversation with the coaching staff and planned to after the morning skate.

They damn well better take Addison on the trip, Benn has been bad the last few games. As Russo put it, "Benn, who has filled in admirably at times this season, has absolutely come back down to earth in his recent outings and again was exposed. "

Yup.
Addison-Brodin
Goligoski-Spurgeon
Kulikov-Merrill
Benn needs to sit for a while.
When Dumba is healthy he needs to play just enough to get us a decent trade. At this point I'd rather keep Fiala and trade Dumba.

#mnwild will have one extra forward and one extra defenseman on trip. Calen Addison recalled (Dakota Mermis reassigned), Nick Bjugstad activated

Not as silly as you for saying that

6-2 after 2 periods and the 4th line making a resurgence with 2 goals. Bjugstad forechecking has really sparked that line with Dewar at center and Duhaime at the other wing.

Status: offline 		Both of Fiala's goals were beautiful. The drag to the middle, seamless top shelf wrister is something not many can do. The second was another case of Boldy and Fiala communicating via brain waves. Boldy breaks up the play in the neutral zone and taps a short pass between defenders into the offensive zone. Meanwhile, Fiala loops behind those same defenders at warp speed and is in free for the goal.

It's plays like those that make me want to find a way to keep Fiala and trade Dumba and his contract to make room if needed.
Addison has proven to be another quality D that can step in and take Dumba's spot with little or no drop off.

I suspect we see Kaapo on Thursday in Toronto.
I didn't like Moose on a line with KK and Hartman. I would have rather seen Sturm or Boldy there.

Agreed, but we still need to get some serviceable play out of Cam every once in a while with our schedule.
I hope it's just a bad stretch for Cam and he gets back to playing the way he did to start the season.

He didn’t start the season all that well either, although he did settle into some solid play after awhile. His all star selection was a joke.
