ORIGINAL: Jeff Jesser What happened to our vaunted farm system? It was only 2-3 years ago we were voted #1 in the league. It's not like we depleted them with trades. I remember that ranking raised a lot of eyebrows at the time. The feeling among the skeptics was that the Wild had a high volume guys projected to make the NHL on a 3rd defensive pairing or bottom 6 forwards. Outside of Danil Yurov, there is very little top tier talent. Looking back I'm wondering how we got that high rating for prospects when the Iowa Wild have been awful for years and never seem to develop anybody. The only top prospects that have panned out are the currently slumping Boldy, Rossi, and Faber. Now the cupboard is bare other than Yurov and Buium. Hopefully Ohgren can be something other than another bottom 6 grinder....time will tell.
