from Jim Souhan of the Star-Tribune,
Enforcers Derek Boogaard and Chris Simon are not people you would want to meet in a dark alley or a neon arena, and their intimidating presence has raised a question about hockey enforcers that Wild management seems to have forgotten to ask:
What good are goons?
Even while ignoring a lack of depth at center and defense, the Wild, concerned about Boogaard’s iffy back, went three-deep in one-dimensional players, picking up Todd Fedoruk off waivers and acquiring Simon at the trading deadline.
