Minnesota Wild Depth Chart
The Minnesota Wild are set to play on January 19th as they host the Colorado Avalanche, which is also Hockey Day Minnesota. Hockey fans in Minnesota will have to choose between watching Zach Parise and Ryan Sutter debut for the Wild, Gophers hosting arch-rivals North Dakota, and high school hockey games like Wayzata at Eden Prairie, Benilde-St. Margaret's at Grand Rapids, or Breck at St. Thomas Academy.
Either way, the state of Minnesota is going to be buzzing.
Anyway, back to the Wild. Here is what the depth chart for the Wild Looks like right now. Keep in mind anything can change!

That should be the way things look as of now. Obviously things change and based on the way some of the Houston Aeros have skated, there could easily be changes. Below are a list of a few skaters who could end up skating in Minnesota.
Justin Fontaine is an ex Bulldog, keep that in mind. Jason Zucker also played in the WCHA with the Denver Pioneers. Both have put up nice numbers so far this year for Houston, but as a Bulldog Fan and WCHA guy (right now anyway) it would be cool to see one of those two get bumped up.
