The Wild have needed to shake up the veteran core for the past 3 years now. Changing GM's obviously didn't do anything, changing coaches boosted just a little, but at the end of the day it comes down to the guys on the ice. There is only so much the coaches and managers can do before you have to realize that the workers are not working well. Koivu should not have received the contract he did, all the core players should have had a fire lit under their butts with threats of trade, and the young up and coming players should have all been placed under harsh off season training to get them ready for the season if they want to make the team. To much slack has been given, time to pull the belt off and get to work.

Tweaterben, you're hired! I need you to talk to some of my co-workers like this. Bring along a baseball bat as well...just as a prop.
