The problem with the wild is they've never been bad enough. That's not a news flash or anything, but you have to bottom out, nail a 1st or second overall pick AND develop a solid core. The wild have not gotten those big picks, though they've put together a perfect core to surround the superstar that they've never had. Now, the real bad news...they've missed the boat and they're still 'good.' And they probably will be in the playoffs for years to come.
