2022-23 Fantasy Hockey Outlook: Minnesota Wild

2022-23 Fantasy Hockey Outlook: Minnesota Wild.

The Minnesota Wild finished their last season in 2nd Central, 5th overall. They were one of the most intriguing teams in the league. The Wild were ousted in their opening round for the sixth time in seven seasons. Their future is uncertain because of cap penalties. They will have to buy out Ryan Suter and Zach Parise. Bill Guerin signed Marc-Andre Fleury.

Kaprizov scored 108 points last season for the Wild. Boldy is projected to score 57 points this season. Marcus Foligno is a good prospect for fantasy leagues. He is expected to play with the Minnesota Wild in 2022-23. He was drafted three slots ahead of Cole Caufield. The over/under for Bold's point total is 75. Mats Zuccarello is getting old and not a part of the team's forward-looking plan. Jordan Greenway and Marcus Fiala are not reliable top-six scorers. If Bold can offer 20 goals and 40 points with 200-plus hits every season, he should have a spot on every roster.

Fleury is the undisputed starter for the Vegas Golden Knights. Filip Gustavsson is most likely the backup. Fleury has a 3.06 GAA in the last two months of the season and didn't start the final elimination game of their playoff series. He finished 11th last season with 56 appearances. He will be 38 years old in November. Minnesota Wild need to improve their special teams.

The Minnesota Wild offer some good depth options in fantasy hockey. Joel Eriksson Ek should replace Ryan Hartman as the undisputed No. 1 center this season. Foligno offers hits, Mats Zuccarello offers points, and defensemen Jared Spurgeon and Matt Dumba sprinkle on a little bit of everything. Dumbo has increased value in banger leagues with hits and blocked shots, but he has not been able to stay healthy. Marco Rossi was tied for the lead in scoring with AHL Iowa one season after sitting out an entire year due to long COVID.
