Would the fanbase still support the team through a 3-4 year full rebuild?
Short answer, yes. Especially considering the vast majority of fans have come to the conclusion that a rebuild is necessary.

Remarkable to own a stat like that and be mired in the mess they find themselves in, but leave it to them to figure out a way to do it I guess.
It is uncanny no doubt

Im getting more and more comfortable with getting a high pick for the new GM. Sick of this rout this team has been in forever.

Colorado winning also, and easily. I believe with a win, they go over the Wild as well.

I just looked at the standings. How in the hell are the Wild still in a playoff spot?

And holy crap for the Lightning, only 15 total losses in 62 games.

Stars got a good 40 minutes out of their trade for Zuccarello.... he blocked a shot and ended up with an upper body injury that could require surgery...... out 4 weeks or more.

Sucks for them, but they probably shouldn't have been buying to begin with, especially for a player like Zuccarello. In other words, Dallas is about as good as the Wild are. A player like Zuccarllo isn't going to move the needle enough to get them out of even round one in the postseason (assuming they even make it).

Brad Marchand plays in his 666th game tonight. He has 666 career penalty minutes. Tonight's opponent? The Devils.

Damn, that's a lot of games. I remember being at his 1,000 several years ago when he was obviously with the Wild. Good for him.

Not sure they'd sell the games out like they do now but if they recognize that good things are taking place in the rebuild they'd be ok with it...

Minny loves their puck. Attendance would be no problem although this is the first year I never made it to a game since they became a franchise. Just didn’t work out with my coaching schedule this year

I think the off-season might determine a bit whether it's 18,500- 19,000....or 15,000.
They'll never drop below that level.

Through my friends..I think if they fire Boudreau its not going to be popular.
