    |**Goalie**|**Record**|**Save %**|**GSAx**|
    |:-|:-|:-|:-|
    |Filip Gustavsson|24-10-6|.914|6.8|
    |Jesper Wallstedt|14-6-5|.913|3.2|

    There was chatter that Minnesota might shop Jesper Wallstedt at the deadline to improve at center. By opting to keep the rookie, the Wild preserved arguably the most balanced, talented duo of goalies in the NHL.

    Filip Gustavsson has been excellent, with only one regulation loss in his last 11 starts. Minnesota has opened up games and traded chances more than in past seasons, and Gustavsson has handled the change really well. He regularly makes saves look easier than they should with his superb positioning.

    Wallstedt has cooled since a red-hot start, but he’s still showing the makings of a franchise goalie. The better the opponent, the better Wallstedt has been. He still needs to develop to reach his potential as one of the league’s elite, but being a big-game goalie is an awesome trait to build on.

    I don’t want us to be perceived.

    The GSAx numbers make me laugh. Such a team game. Neither Gus nor Wally are BAD in that dept, but neither do they blow the doors off, yet I don’t think they’re overrated on this at all.

    Honestly I thought it was really stupid that the wild weren’t number 1. Sure sorokin is kicking ass but this is rating the tandem as a whole, and both Gus and Wally have been doing nearly as well as sorokin.

    Thing is I think they make each other better – we’ve seen Gus be somewhat inconsistent before, but having a kid will prob do that.

    If we can somehow get that 1C without giving up Wallstedt, we’re gonna set for the next 5 years.

    But like Russo said in the latest worst seats, pretty much all the “assets” we have left including Wally and Stramel and Yurov are as good as gone if you’re thinking big fish this summer.

    A big run in the playoffs this season with our current roster could potentially change that.
