On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we dive into the divide between the youth movement and a veteran heavy roster for the Wild in 2023-24. We look at the reasons we will likely see either Jujhar Khaira and Vinni Lettieri occupy the 13th forward spot when the Wild actually need an extra body. Beyond that, it's likely that this team will leave that spot in the lineup open. Things as always depend entirely on the injury situation, and if there are a multitude of injuries that would certainly force the team's hand. We also discuss why the Trade Deadline will provide this team a chance to call up younger players, IF the Wild are not in a position to make the playoffs. We finish by looking at the situations that Marco Rossi, Calen Addison and Brock Faber are in as we get closer to the start of the season to see if they are being put in positions to succeed.
