Your Call: Who will lead the Wild in scoring in 2017-18?
Keystone Press

The Minnesota Wild were one of the deepest offensive teams in 2016-17. While some fans may argue that they lack a true game-changing talent like Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane or Connor McDavid, the Wild more than make up for it with an impressive collection of offensive talent.

The Wild boasted four 20+ goal scorers and five 50+ point scorers last season and have several breakout candidates who could blow those numbers out of the water in 2017-18. But, who will produce the most?

Mikael Granlund looks poised to crush his 26 goals and 69 points from last season. Ditto for Nino Niederreiter and his 25 goal, 57 point total. Or, how about Charlie Coyle? He eclipsed 50 points last season for the first time in his career and could put up 70 if given the right opportunities. Of course, never count out the veterans. Eric Staal, Mikko Koivu and Zach Parise should all still be huge factors in the team’s goal production in 2017-18. Want a dark horse candidate? Jason Zucker is lightning fast and has surprisingly good finish. He could hit 30 goals and surprise a lot of people.

So, who do you think will be the Wild’s biggest point producer in 2017-18?
