Coleman Adds Depth, But Center Still Missing | Minnesota Wild News
Description
The Minnesota Wild just pulled off a savvy move by signing Blake Coleman — a mid-30s forward with 20 goals last season who brings speed, grit, and clutch scoring. Seen as a “gamer” who can fill roles like Matt Zuccarello did, Coleman adds much-needed offensive depth. But while the Wild are clearly building around specific needs — like replacing Jake Middleton’s defensive minutes — the glaring hole remains: no true top-tier center. Joel Eriksson Ek is solid, but not a franchise centerpiece. Rumors swirl about Dylan Larkin, but for now, the team’s roster still feels incomplete. Coleman’s addition is a smart, timely boost — but without a No. 1 center, the Wild may still be one big move away from true contender status.
