While the San Jose Sharks are on the outside, looking in, at the 9th seed with 77 points — one below the 8th Colorado Avalanche – one may ask GM Doug Wilson, was it all worth it? Dany Heatley, right, and Devin Setoguchi have proven to be assets for the Wild this season. Would they have made a difference with San Jose this year? Were the rebuilding deals he made during...

Heatley finally clicking for desperate Wild club

ST. PAUL, Minn. On pace for a career low in goals, Minnesota Wild forward Dany Heatley was mired in one of the toughest scoring slumps of his career two weeks ago.
