The former Golden Gopher set career highs across the board this season in games played, goals, assists, plus/minus and points.
Although still missing key pieces in Zach Parise and Thomas Vanek, former North Star Mike Modano took to Twitter last night to voice his thoughts.
No Parise, no Haula, no vanek… No chance

At least Minnesota has one of them back.
The puck drops just after 7 p.m. Saturday.
