After 20 of 82 games, the Minnesota Wild are in trouble.  The team sits last in their division and 14th out of 15 teams in the Western Conference with seven wins and 16 points.The franchise will be broken up into forwards, defensemen, goalies, player development, coaching, and front office management and analyzed and assigned a letter grade at this point in the season. Forwards  D+ Todd Richards' new system is very dependent on forwards getting deep into the zone and pressuring opposing teams into mistakes.  There have been few occasions this season where Wild forwards have been able to effective accomplish this effectively.

 Richards' style is not the issue, the Wild seem to be able to effectively play this way against tired or flat opponents about sarah mclachlan .  There are signs of hope, but when the only positives are coming when opponents aren't at their best, it's generally a sign of a lack of talent.The Wild rank third from the bottom in the West in goals for and only Mikko Koivu, Andrew Brunette, and Eric Belanger have a higher points-per-game ratio than their post-lockout career numbers sarah mclachlin .  The youth in James Sheppard and Benoit Pouliot, the megastar in Martin Havlat, and the offensive support in Petr Sykora, Chuck Kobasew and Owen Nolan have not showed up. Defensemen  D In the last two years of Jacques Lemaire's reign with the Wild, there were a lot of fans who demanded he relinquish his defensive stranglehold on the team mclachlan .  It's pretty clear now that the only thing keeping the roster that Doug Risebrough afloat was the defensive stranglehold of Lemaire (and a healthy Marian Gaborik).The Wild have given up the third most goals in the West and the team's collective goals-against-average has gone up by 0.82 fallen sarah .  That number has been inflated by some poor starts by then-injured Josh Harding but even Niklas Backstrom has seen his GAA rise by .34 since last year.  In addition to not playing as tight defensively, Wild defensemen also seem to be struggling to adapt to Richards' up-tempo system.  Greg Zanon and Shane Hnidy have been solid additions in their own zone, however both look nervous with the puck on their stick and prone to turnovers in their own zone.

 Kim Johnsson has struggled with injuries for most of this season and Brent Burns still displays lingering effects of being moved to wing last season. Goalies  B The days of "good, not great" goalies in Minnesota getting their stats padded are over with angel sarah mclachlan .  Lemaire's system saved this team nearly a goal-a-game and now Backstrom's stats look more human sarah mchlachlan .  Imagine the trouble this team could have been in with a 40 year-old Dwayne Roloson or a 35 year-old Manny Fernandez.Backstrom has done a great job of giving this team stability on a consistent basis and his .908 save percentage is nothing to sneeze at  However, he doesn't look as sharp as a year ago sarah maclaclan .  The lingering problem Backstrom has had is rebound control, which he appeared to conquer last season, and it's returned.Harding started the year with an undisclosed lower-body injury and made two starts with a sub-.750 save percentage in those starts sarah .  Since his return from injury he has made two appearances and his save percentage is at .955.

 It's unlikely that he'll continue to play at that level, but it's fair to say his early season woes can be attributed to his injury. Player Development   F In the history of the Wild, the team has managed to draft seven players that have earned a tag as anything more than "promising."  Gaborik, Koivu, Harding, Burns, Nick Schultz, Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Cal Clutterbuck were all draftees who have gone on to some sort of prominence within the team  Only Gaborik has been an All-Star .  Only Clutterbuck was drafted outside the first two rounds, and he was taken in the third.The Wild's 2005 first round pick Benoit Pouliot and 2006 first round pick James Sheppard are both on the roster, but neither have proven they deserve a promotion from the fourth line mclachlan lyrics .  The 2007 first round pick Colton Gillies spent 2008-2009 with the Wild, but only played in half the team's games sarah mclachlan's .  This left many wondering how sitting in the press box was more beneficial than playing regularly with the team's minor league affiliate or in junior hockey.As it stands, the team doesn't have many prospects that look ready to make an immediate impact in the NHL .  Robbie Earl has made his mark in his recent call-up but the majority of who's left in Houston don't seem to be any major solutions to the team's issues. Coaching  B This probably wasn't the start to his head coaching career Richards was hoping for.
