On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Jessi Pierce of the Bardown Beauties podcast joins us as we discuss areas for concern that still remain as we get closer to the 2023-24 season. We start by discussing the team in general, and the current struggle to place trust in younger players and put them in spots to succeed. We also discuss Jessi's hunch that the Wild will make a trade early on into the season depending on how things play out. We discuss whether it's time to trade Marco Rossi, and if the Wild can avoid as disastrous of a start as they had last season. We get Jessi's thoughts on the Power Play, Calen Addison and the back end of the Wild defense, and Pat Maroon's addition. Plus we put Jessi on the spot with whether or not the Wild will make the playoffs at season's end.
