The Minnesota Wild was counting on more goals from Dany Heatley when they traded for him last summer. Although his 13 goals leads the team, it's still far fewer than expected. He's on pace for the lowest goal total of his career, but head coach Mike Yeo says it's not all Heatley's fault.

Head coach Mike Yeo says Dany Heatley was probably the Wild's MVP this season. He hinted that Heatley would have finished with more than 24 goals if Mikko Koivu didn't miss 27 games. Even without his top linemate out of action, Yeo says Heatley "never once complained."
