Larsson, Bulmer, and Phillips all need extensive time in the AHL. They are good players but don't expect them on the Wild anytime soon.

Zucker is closer, because of his speed and shot, but there needs to be a legitmate discussion whether he's got goal scorer potential at the NHL level. Because I think he does. And if so, getting 1st line duty in Houston for at least a year could be better than just turning him into a NHL 3rd liner who can chip in 10-15 goals pure year. If we handle him right, he could be a 30 goal guy for us. Or at least as good and Setoguchi.

Coyle might have trouble with the speed of the NHL game at first. From what I seen, he's a solid player who knows where to be on the ice, but he's got to learn to dominate the AHL first.
