On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Seth looks at the biggest keys to the Wild jumping from good in 2019-20 to great in 2021. We examine the effect of Kirill Kaprizov on the Wild's offense and how players like Kevin Fiala have turned the team into a juggernaut. We also examine how the Wild were able to go from Alex Stalock putting the team on his back, to more consistent production from Cam Talbot. We look at how big of an upgrade the Wild made at the backup goalie spot in switching from Devan Dubnyk to Kaapo Kahkonen. And we finish by looking at how Dean Evason and Bill Guerin have the team clicking on all cylinders. From Evason making all the right decisions, and optimizing his line combinations, to Guerin bringing in veteran leaders in Nick Bonino and Nick Bjugstad who have helped transform the team culture. The bottom line is pretty much every move made has been a good one for this year's Wild team.
