Wild Need Some Young Talent

from Michael Russo of the Star Tribune,
Nobody tries to lose. Nobody wants to lose. Especially players.
But this potentially painful Wild season might not be the worst thing for the long-term future of the franchise.
The Wild is depleted of top-end, young talent like few other teams. Just turn on the “Center Ice” package or study other teams’ depth charts, and it’s plain as day.
The Wild has no game-breaking forwards coming up, and developing these players might be the Wild’s only option. The next five months living through all the losses would be excruciating, but a top-five pick in the 2010 draft would be a nice “reward” for such a lousy year.
Look at the Colorado Avalanche. One horrific season got the Avs potential superstar Matt Duchene with the third overall pick.
