On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Nash Walker of Locked on Twins joins for a crossover show! We start by looking at what went wrong for the Twins this year in a few key areas: injuries, free agent signings, and inconsistent performances. We then see if the Wild are equipped in these areas to have better results. We discuss the effect an injury to the team's superstar player, Byron Buxton in the Twins case, can have on derailing the season. Seth notes that Kirill Kaprizov's playing style will hopefully keep him from sustaining any sort of major injuries this year.

We also look at the service time dilemmas that the Wild and Twins have both dealt with, and why patience is important with lean salary cap years coming for the Wild. Nash finishes by asking Seth who is dark horse player for the Wild is, with Nico Sturm being the obvious choice, as well as where the Wild will end up. Seth firmly believes 2nd in the Central and a playoff series win is not out of the question with this group.
