Defensemen
Andrej Meszaros: 30 year old Slovak defender. Started his NHL career in Ottawa after that he moved to Philadelphia where he played nine seasons. Now he is starting 3rd season with Wild. Scouts said he is no. 3-4 talent but last season I put him on the 1st d-line with Hannan and he did pretty good (10G, 40A, +18). Andrej gets also playing time on the PP and PK. Core player but important defender. Just signed three year deal with Minnesota.
Anton Strålman: 30-year-old Swedish defender. Starting his 11th season with Wild. no. 1-2 talent but last season I played him as no. 3 defender. But he got lots of playing time in PP and PK. Great defense abilities with great pass and slap shot skills. Contract is ending in this season but I try to get him signed because soon Hannan will retired and we need great defender to fill his spot. Anton has two world cup silver medals (08/12), Olympic silver medal (10) and WC gold medal (15).
Scott Hannan: 37-year-old hard working defenseman. Played one season (06-07) with the Kings next season he moved to Islanders but mid-season Islanders traded him to Capitals.

. 22-year-old goal-scoring playmaker, great center prospect, 1st line talent. Last two seasons played in NHL with the Wild. Last season get chance to play 2nd line and power plays but now he will start in 4th line center. Last season he made 12 goals and 31 assist.
Torren Millhouse: 24-year-old American reliable center. Three seasons played in NHL on the same team - Minnestoa Wild. Last season he started as 3rd line center but when Jacobsson were bad at the end of the season Torren became 2nd line center.

Well season goals are just get the playoff spot and after that all other is welcome. Even roster is quite same what it was last year but many other teams seem to be more powerful than last season. Malkin is still a free agent even he played two season in the RSL but Pens own his rights :S
Btw Finland won world cup…on the semifinals they won Sweden 4-3 and in the finals they won Canada by 3-2. Koivu (C) and Bergenheim were on the Finland roster so I get more cup winners on my team!
