Quit winning Wild! Just like the Vikes, you're gonna ruin your draft standing by trying to salvage a moral victory.

Careful Mild (Wild). You have a chance to get the second or third overall pick. Don't win to many games now.

I wish they would just keep losing to ensure a better draft pick.

I know it's heresy these days, but I don't like to see teams tank games just to get a draft pick that will supposedly be their salvation. Tanking becomes a habit, and I am not convinced we need that on top of the already-putrid play in recent months. Mind you, I don't have a hard time with a coach playing youngsters at this time of year to see what they can do and to build up their experience level.

I have very mixed emotions about the game victory. Fun to see such a good effort, but hate to lose the higher draft pick! However cheer up, with Kiovus return, the lines will be scrambled up again and any line chemistry built over the last few games will again be lost. So few to no more victories will result in a higher draft pick. For the Yeo critics, his system seemed to work well tonight, so maybe with quality players and effort by them, he will be a competent coach after all!!

Even if they win 4 or 5 games out of the last 10 they will likely finish with the 3rd worst record. If they can move up in the lottery we could possibly land Filip Forsberg.

I was at the game and I'm happy that the Wild won but I'm also mad that the Wild won. No more winning now please. Let's get a good pick and draft a guy like Grigorenko or Dumba.

One of the best drafts ever and leave to these morons to screw it up. They don't even know how to fail!
