The Wild's gamble on their prospects is not paying off

The Minnesota Wild's Struggles with Young Prospects

The Minnesota Wild's season has not started as planned, with their reliance on young prospects not paying off.

Just two weeks into the season, three of their recent draft picks have been reassigned to the AHL. General manager Bill Guerin had hoped that players like Hunter Haight, Danila Yurov, and Jesper Wallstedt would not be on the opening night roster.

Management's reliance on solving their line-up issues from within seems to be part of the slow start to the season.

Injuries to key players like Mats Zuccarello and Nico Sturm have forced the team to rely on their young prospects sooner than expected.

The team must now reassess their strategy and decide where to go from here.
