"I think to have younger players in your lineup and play important roles and not only just play but be real productive players for you is certainly I think good for them as individuals and their confidence levels as players," Wild head coach said on Faber and Marco Rossi. "But also I think for your team moving forward, that’s certainly something that has to happen. "Particularly in the salary cap era where you have to be able to have young guys come in to your lineup. Lots of times on entry level contracts. And if those guys can be impact players like rossi and faber have been, it certainly is going to help your team in the now, as they have this year, but also in the future, for sure." Faber, 21, now has seven goals and 40 points in 71 games this season. He is also a plus five this season. Faber and Rossi are the only two Wild players to have played in all 71 games this season.
