IS IT Important for MN WILD to have a MN born player?

Do the Wild work to field the best players available whether they are MN kids or not? Just win baby!

Or do you feel that it should be and probly is a comforting position to have a MN kid on the roster for the fans. Kind of a kissing up feel good environment?

If a quality player or a player that fits a need on the team will come play for the Wild for less or fair money because he is from Minnesota then great, sign him. Don't sign a player just because he is from Minnesota or has ties to Minnesota.

Not necessary. They already have a face of the franchise in Marion Gaborik. It doesn't seem to be that big of a deal to have Parrish on the team.

It will be interesting to see how Hill finishes out the year. What do you think - was he playing poorly because he wasn't getting the ice time, or was he not getting the ice time because he was playing poorly? Legit question.

Parrish is enough, we don't need Hill.

Duluthian Sean Hill had another goal tonight in the Wild's 3-1 win over Edmonton.
