Next move has to be to focus on defense and figuring out the goaltending situation.

I would have thought if any deals were made, it would have been for defense, especially with the way this team has been scoring as of late. And now with no 1st round pick, it's not like Fletch is going to be able to add more defensive depth unless it is through FA.
Stoner played one of the worst games I have ever seen. It stinks, having so many d-men that infuriate the hell outta me

Well that little line shuffle experiment didn't last very long. I guess I understand what Yeo was going for, but I think it's a bit early to assume he can just start plugging guys in anywhere and have it be effective. I like Tori Mitchell, but no way does he belong on the first line! Secondly, they made a preemptive move to send Kuemper to the airport before the players were even on the ice for morning skate, due to the trade buzz, why didn't they call up Zucker at the same time? I'm seriously starting to wonder if Zucker did something to piss Yeo off. My point is, if Kuemper had enough time to get there, so did Zucker, and why wouldn't you want Zucker in the line up over Nate Freaking Prosser?!!!!

Yeo still baffles me at times.

That said, the Wild looked putrid last night. The 2 goals they did manage to nab were 90% luck and they were abysmal once again on defense. I hope to god Fletcher has a plan for the D in the playoffs because this team isn't going far with 4 of the 6 guys the currently play.

Might as well, he's here for the long haul now. The former captain going down with the ship!
