MINNESOTA WILD

FRANCHISE FACE: Mikko Koivu

OTHER CANDIDATES: Marian Gaborik, Zach Parise, Ryan Suter, Niklas Backstrom, Devan Dubnyk

THE SKINNY: Gaborik, Parise and Suter are splashier picks but captain Koivu has been the heart and soul of this franchise for years — along with being the all-time leader in points (590) and games played (809).
